Moon-data the only "widget"-style element missing an icon & it's not a link, for further info-card redirection #69

There isn't enough space for the icon, so the moon phase name is displayed instead. There isn't any extra information to show on a separate page, so while there will be a moon forecast, I still need to find a free API.

I'd think a moderately sized & simple moon-icon could easily fit — if only the current moon-phase description just got shifted a couple of px to the right (depending on the moon-phase-string's longest possible amount of characters).

Even the icon for "pressure" is a bit on the smaller side, compared to every other icon that is very distinct & bold in nature. When I'm back at my PC I could update this post with a quick Photoshop-sketch of how I'd like to see things.

Would be nice for users as well to learn/understand more about what the moon-phase exactly tells the user — especially since the layout isn't customizable. Users may question why they should care about the moon-phase to such a degree that it is even placed in the very top-row amongst the "widget-style" boxes.

It's not a bad design at all as it currently stands, but who doesn't love when the design language & functionally is consistent through-and-through. But I totally understand if there's no readily available API that could provide that sort of data for free.

I understand, and I will consider making these changes, as well as creating a customizable layout for the widgets.

@Montell2099 Well, I added the icon, but it just looks ugly.
