Add the Echo icons to the sticky header
Closed, DuplicatePublicFeature

Description

Currently, the Notifications (Echo) icons are only at the top of the page. To get to them, one needs to scroll all the way up. Since they provide a heavily used functionality, they'd be useful in the sticky header.

FYI: This is actually pretty tricky. Would likely require a refactor of Echo and would involve coordinating with the Growth team or getting permission to do that. We originally considered it for the sticky header but descoped it because of technical feasibility.

They also don't currently change once the page has initially been loaded (T113125 is the relevant task) so I'm not sure it would add much utility.

The fundamental problem is that the top-of-page header is different from the sticky header, which is very confusing from a UX perspective.

Just make the the sticky header the only header. I did it in my personal CSS, and it has worked perfectly for over two years.
