Wider bubbles for both sides theme about schildichat-android HOT 3 CLOSED

Your solution 2 would actually be easier to implement, since this is what SchildiChat did before, and if I remember correctly, does only require minor changes in the code to "enable" it again. That said, I don't think that's a good idea (at least it will not make everyone happy): the own avatar was removed on purpose to save space for messages, while not hiding any relevant information for understanding the chat history (compare e.g. #7).

I'll probably play around with message bubble widths a little more to make them more similar in group chats. Concerning your solution 2, I could maybe make a setting "Don't hide sender avatar in DMs and for own messages" or similar, but I'd prefer to not do it if not necessary, since this would another case for testing, some more code complexity, and an additional setting for users that many probably don't need.

Actually, what I meant wouldn't reduce message space (see below). But I understand if you prefer not to do that (it is just another way to handle intent etc.)

The 1st is today, the 2nd, something close to what I described in the first solution and the 3rd is the solution with profil picture.

I see. I'm not a fan of having the bubbles closer to the edge of the receiver than the sender, though.
