Hello,

First of all, thank you for this project it’s a really useful and interesting tool, and I appreciate the work that has gone into it.

I wanted to share a small piece of UI/UX feedback regarding the interface. At the moment, there are quite a lot of icons displayed throughout the UI. While they are visually expressive, I personally find that the density of icons can make the interface feel a bit cluttered and sometimes harder to read at a glance.

Would it be possible provide an option to disable or simplify them,

This is, of course, subjective feedback, but I think a more minimal or configurable approach could improve readability and accessibility for some users.

Thanks again for your work, and feel free to close this issue if it doesn’t align with the project’s direction.

yes, we can definitely make them optional. Would you prefer an option to disable the emoji icons entirely?

Yes, an option in the configuration file to completely disable emoji icons would be ideal.

That way emojis can stay enabled by default, while giving users a clean and global switch (for example enable_emojis = false).

Yup. That should not be a problem. I'll add it to my to do list for the next release!
