Default settings

[IBBoard]

I'm running with GSettings in memory at the moment, so all of the settings keep resetting. I think that some different settings would be more user-friendly.

• Square avatars by default, because avatars SHOULD be square. People make square images, and round images enforce artistic constraints that don't work for everyone (whereas people who want a circular shape can choose to put a circle within a square) - see also: Make avatars round IBBoard/cawbird#56
• Keep the trailing tags - people put the tags in for a reason, so don't hide content unless the user chooses to
• BUT keep the hiding of internal media links, because we're showing those as images
• Require double-click to avoid accidentally navigating when you click between overlapping windows and click on a post. Ideally GTK would have a "don't activate widgets on focus change" option, but I guess there's times when it is what you want

What do other people think?

In most places you now find round avatars, on Twitter, on Github, and importantly in Gnome. And since NewCaw is designed following Gnome's HIG, I think the default should follow Gnomes one.

That should definitely be true. I guess this is an oversight from when I changed it from "Hide Trailing Tags".

I don't have a good opinion on that. Double click does make sense though given basically all content in the window is activatable.

That just means that Gnome is wrong, along with everywhere else 😉 I don't understand how graphics designers everywhere have joined this massed delusion that round avatars are better.
