I recently introduced TextSecure to my father, who is 60 years old and, despite not having severe sigh problems at all in his life, at that age he needs to use glasses to read his phone (5\" Moto G) and has it configured with very large fonts for ease of use.\r\n\r\nIn that context, we recently had minor problems with messages not arriving due to connectivity and he was unable to notice because he can barely see the check mark. I can perfectly see it in my Nexus 4 with normal fonts, but I agree it should be easier to identify. Maybe making it bigger and/or changing the character to U+2714, and maybe using a different (bright) color that helps spotting the mark way easier than it is now."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/comments/119525615","html_url":"https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/2389#issuecomment-119525615","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/2389","id":119525615,"user":{"login":"wp9015362","id":7558360,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7558360?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362","html_url":"https://github.com/wp9015362","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wp9015362/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-08T09:44:11Z","updated_at":"2015-07-08T09:44:11Z","body":"> @agrajaghh wrote:\r\n> \r\n> These material icons could be used for sent/received:\r\n> \r\n> ![Image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5296073/7787726/391ff788-021b-11e5-9266-a676c3b79b7b.png)\r\n> \r\n> ![Image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5296073/7787727/39266b72-021b-11e5-9666-4cad9bc6ab1e.png)\r\n> \r\n> But using the background color for sending/sent like it's now is good too :confused:\r\n\r\nThose checkmarks are now being used in TextSecure 2.21.0.\r\n\r\nIt's much better like that now!\r\n\r\nThanks a lot!\r\n\r\nI'm still missing an optional read receipt feature though:\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/2667\r\n\r\nAnd still don't understand why it's not being done.\r\n\r\nRegards"}}
