The participant cient icon is not informative and may be confusing for new users. Set options.ui.contactlist.show-client-icons and options.ui.userlist.show-client-icons to false by default

for me it doesn't matter, but it's better to ping chat to gather votes :)

  • hide is not the way to offer, but the way to misleading that you offer
  • psi in not a mobile app, is a desktop gui program, that have to use its space to offer better information and easy usage to its users
  • icons, is maybe the most important thing in a gui application, that's why ALL programs/app in the world use icons, not text labels or nothing
  • icons are informative, and provide the very important information to the user, what device and clients other users use, so to behave if want to

that were my thoughts ....

The main advantage of the Client icons that you can see that the contact is on a phone and may not answer immediately. Kind of Away status. Again, may be problematic for privacy: if you are supposed to be on the work place but you on the phone, then this may rise questions.
We may show a phone icon instead.

Well I haven't heard any vote support this PR. I tend to reject it.
Does anyone mind?

Looks like everyone except of @gkapad was just fine, and even he was fine at some point and said something like "I'll just enable for myself"
