       @frauxirah has noticed (thanks!) that the new options for quote post visibility don't play nicely with smaller screens. The "Toot" button doesn't always fit.This is an opportunity to make a change I've been thinking about for a while, since there are a number of problems with its current location anyway.1. There's just not a lot of space, even on larger devices. This is a particular problem with languages with a longer typical word length than English.

       2. It's close to lots of other things you might want to tap, so it's easy to accidentally send a post.3. As much as Android can be said to have a "design language", it includes putting whatever action will close the current screen at the top right (e.g., the "Send" button when writing an e-mail in GMail).The screenshots in the next post show a change I plan on rolling out in Pachli Current on Monday.

       Both screenshots show the same change, one for a large device, one for a small device. In each one the image on the left is the current UI, the image on the right is the new UI, with changes highlighted). The changes are:1. Move the "#", "@", and "Language" buttons in the toolbar from the right to the left.2. Move and shrink the avatar of the account you're using to the start of the "Posting as..." text.3. Move the "Toot" button to the top right.

       This gives more space for the "Toot" button, keeps it away from anything else you might want to tap on, keeps the avatar close to the account name, and is consistent with Android design.Feedback welcomed.
