display total fiat balance in places other than the Home tab #26

I'd roughly divide the information displayed in Feather into three categories:

  1. information strictly related to the wallet's state
  2. information derived from the main exchange rate (balance in fiat and transaction amounts in fiat)
  3. non-essential information (explicit exchange rates, CCS, Bounties, etc.)

out of these, only 1. and 2. are required for using the wallet in everyday situations, 3. is superfluous. however, you can't get rid of 3. (via hiding the Home tab) without also losing a part of 2., namely, your total balance in fiat.

the logical place for it would be in the status bar, but this would make the bar cramped, or, when also displaying the unconfirmed balance, downright unusable. so I suggest displaying it in the tooltip of the balance field in the status bar, and also in the account balance window (accessible by clicking on the balance field).

Partially resolved. Since 2.6.0, the Crowdfunding, Bounties, etc tabs are plugins. They can be disabled via Settings → Plugins.

displaying in the status bar has been implemented in 2.7.0 with https://github.com/feather-wallet/feather/commit/da0d7e7100eca7a2b693b4050cea461e90117f94. thank you!

reviewing my initial idea and comparing it with the current result, I think the functionality in the status bar is satisfactory even without the tooltip. I'd argue having the fiat value in Account Balance separately for all three categories (Unconfirmed, Spendable, Total) would aid usability, so I'm not closing this yet.
