the problem being that 'open lock' can mean 'decrypted' rather than 'unencrypted'

Not sure if this should be a separate issue, but the lock should also be darkened, perhaps to black, to make it more obvious to the user that he is in an un-encrypted room, and make it far more readable on a small screen.

It should also be clickable -and go straight to the encryption settings for the room.

I also suggest removing the cosmetic tag. We have had several people indicate that the current unlock icon is not obvious enough, and could result in people not realising they are in an un-encrypted chat.

If it can help, here is a picture of how it show on my screen. It's taken with a potato but still shows the little contrast with the background and the small size of the lock.

Is this issue regarding the lock icon next to the input box, or regarding the unlocked icon next to unencrypted messages in the timeline?

If it's the former, then #3317 also has some suggestions.

The room decoration has changed, so this issue is no longer relevant
