• Hide phone number in profile. This function replaces the display of the user's own phone number with generic text or removes it entirely from the profile window. It prevents other users who access the profile through features like "People Nearby" from viewing the number associated with the account, adding a visual privacy layer.
• Auto-hiding notifications. The program allows configuring a delay time after which pop-up notifications are automatically hidden from the screen. This prevents message content from remaining exposed on the desktop after being briefly read, operating independently from the operating system's "Do Not Disturb" mode.
• Custom app icon. rabbitGram Desktop includes a gallery of alternative icons for the application shortcut. The user can select from color variants, vintage designs, or themed icons that apply both to the desktop entry and the taskbar, without affecting program functionality.
• Userpic corner radius. A slider control is incorporated that modifies the corner rounding of profile pictures throughout the interface. The value can be adjusted from zero (square shape) to maximum (perfect circle), allowing the appearance of avatars to be adapted to user preference.
• Side menu editor. This tool allows reordering, hiding, or showing sections appearing in the left panel of the application (such as Contacts, Calls, Saved Messages, etc.). The user can decide which folders or shortcuts are prioritized and remove unused ones to simplify navigation.
• Sticker size setting. Unlike the official client, rabbitGram Desktop adds a control to increase or decrease the display size of stickers within chats. This modification affects both sent and received stickers, improving visibility of details.
• Seconds in time. Enables timestamp precision by displaying seconds in the time marker of each message. When hovering over the time, a tooltip shows the exact hour, minute, and second when the message was sent or received, useful for coordinating time-sensitive actions.
• Sender's avatar in groups. In group chats, activates the display of the author's profile picture next to each message, replicating the behavior of mobile applications. This feature facilitates visual identification of participants in conversations with many users.
• Comma after mention. When typing a mention using the @ symbol followed by a username, the application automatically inserts a comma after the name. This streamlines writing user lists or formal salutations within the message text.
• Go to first message. Adds a button or contextual shortcut that, within a chat, transports the user directly to the first message exchanged with that contact or group. It complements the existing "Go to last message" function and facilitates reviewing old history.

The development of rabbitGram Desktop began as a fork of the Telegram Desktop project with the goal of integrating patches and improvements requested by the community. The developers, operating under the username rabbitgramdesktop on collaboration platforms, initiated the project around the year 2020. The application is primarily written in C++ using the Qt framework, inheriting the official Telegram codebase, upon which modifications are applied to the interface layers and presentation logic.
