Change text buttons to symbols

[Vinzenz Vietzke]

It would be great to have all buttons in the same style. All icons I used for the attached mockup are in deja vu sans font.

unicode definitions:
- reply: u+23ce return symbol
- context: u+21d4 left right double arrow
- direct: u+2709 envelope
- image preview: u+29c7 squared small circle
- flag/report: u+2691 black flag
(some functions not included in heybuddy but it would be great to have them one day)

what is 'image preview' supposed to do?

[Vinzenz Vietzke (vinzv)]

Image view should grab images uploaded to identi.ca and view them resized in a small external window. or slide older dents downwards and show the image inline to the dent.

[Vinzenz Vietzke (vinzv)]

Showing something like that on click of the preview button would be awesome! Clicking on the image could lead to the original identi.ca url.

Very fucking cool! I would prefer to have this in the preferences as "enable image preview" and then there would be no need for the image preview button in each dent. If a dent contains a link to an image (not a shortened URL), the image could be downloaded and (hopefully) scaled to fit within the dent.

Be aware that image urls are automatically shortened by identi.ca with ur1.ca. Example: https://identi.ca/notice/78298417
Dunno if there's an api call for attachements...
