While the Side Panel Collapsed there is no icon or else thing to see the Recent Chats

Feature Request: Add a Visible Indicator for Recent Chats When the Side Panel is Collapsed

Description:

When the side panel is collapsed in DeepSeek, there is no visible icon or indicator to access the "Recent Chats" section. This makes it difficult for users to quickly navigate to their recent conversations without expanding the side panel.

Proposed Solution:

Add a small icon or button (e.g., a chat bubble or clock icon) on the collapsed side panel to represent "Recent Chats."

Alternatively, allow users to hover over the collapsed panel to reveal a tooltip or temporary menu with access to recent chats.

Ensure the icon or indicator is intuitive and consistent with the overall design language of DeepSeek.

Benefits:

Improves usability by making recent chats easily accessible even when the side panel is collapsed.

Enhances the user experience for those who prefer a minimalist interface but still need quick access to their chat history.
