- [X] My issue is well-defined and describes how it should be implemented from UI/UX perspective.
What do you want to be added or improved?
As a user I want to see e.g. "£" instead of "GBP" consistently across the UI (except when picking a currency, where the symbol and the name could be shown, for clarity).
This would also ensure a consistent display, as in the UI there is a mixture of GBP 1.00, 1.00 GBP and 1.00 British Pound formats
Why do you need it?
- save precious real estate in widgets
- use a more familiar identifier of currency (in every day use, it's uncommon to use currency names such as GBP, USD, TRY etc)
- consistent formatting of currency makes it easier to read
How do you imagine it?
Anywhere the currency name is used, the symbol would be used instead. E.g instead of GBP -100.99, show -£100.99
In the large widget, the header would show -£100.99
The minus symbol prefix matches Excel's default style.
I think it could be worth discussing making it the default, too.

I'm a developer with a bit of Kotlin experience (not Android though). I'd be interested in making this change, if there is interest.
And thanks for the app! It's awesome, exactly what I was looking for :)
