This concept looks great, but

1) Using night mode is cheating, because almost everything looks cooler in the night mode. The day mode is and will remain the default, so it's impossible to evaluate design suggestions made for the night mode only.

2) The tricky part of implementing this rounded-corners input field is how the messages are scrolled under the input area. There is the WhatsApp approach of an "invisible straight barrier" (which is lame, but may as well be inevitable), but there could be other more interesting approaches to explore.

A great redesign of an element should take into account how it will work in combination with the existing elements. We'll be happy to award all contributions that are thought-through in this way. And thanks to all the designers who keep sending their work. Together we are making Telegram better (@durov).
