Currently, when a room has pinned messages an annoying, impossible to dismiss bar will be displayed over the message area. This patch introduces the following changes: - add a setting to control whether the PinnedMessageBanner is displayed or not (keep current behaviour as default) - add a pin icon to the room header Why allow hiding pinned messages? Because the banner is annoying. I, and judging by the +1s on element-hq#28183 a few other users, found it unnecessary to always have it in front of our eyes. The new setting allows us to make it go away. Why add an icon for pinned messages if you can view pinned messages from room info? I will answer this by posing another question: why display the banner when pinned messages can be viewed from room info? Jokes aside, the icon makes the access quicker--the UX is exactly the same as for threads: you can see then from room info, or by clicking their icon.

Your use case
What would you like to do?
Once i've read the currently pinned msgs, i want to hit an "X" button or similar to hide them, as otherwise they take up too much vertical screen real-estate, plus are distracting.
Have you considered any alternatives?
You could hide them when you scroll up, like EX does. But frankly an "X" would be enough (and then have it reappear whenever they change).
