:wastebasket: Community Post Query: Hiding the Message Actions Bar (Hover Toolbar) in RC 7.10.0

Hello everyone,

I’m running a Community Self-Hosted instance of Rocket.Chat version 7.10.0.

I need to disable or hide the Message Actions Bar (the floating toolbar that appears when hovering over any message), as highlighted by the red box in the attached image:

[Please upload the image (image_fb039a.png) when posting]

This bar includes quick actions like:

  • Add Reaction
  • Reply in Thread
  • Edit Message
  • Share Message
  • More Options (kebab menu)

I want to prevent this bar from appearing altogether to simplify the chat interface.

I plan to use the following CSS in Administration > Layout > Custom CSS:

/* This selector targets the entire floating message actions toolbar */
.rcx-message-actions {
    display: none !important;
}
