Give Importance to Banner / Cover Pic

https://gitlab.com/tom79/mastalab/issues/596

Problem

Although I didn't use Tusky for long, what I liked about it is how well it displayed my banner in the sidebar and on the profile page. Mastalab mimics Mastodon in this regard which, imo, is the wrong approach. Some, if not most, people choose banners that either look beautiful or says something about them or something they want to say. It lends some character to the profile page. Therefore, making the banner translucent and dark defeats the purpose.

Solution

In the sidebar, shift the shortcut for changing themes to 'Settings' and the shortcut for instance info (i button) to the 3 dots menu. Then bring the avatar down a little along with the names below it. Match the brightness of the banner to the original pic.

On profile page, decrease the size of the avatar and shift it toward the bottom-left corner. Move the Edit Profile button to the 3 dots menu if it's small size becomes an issue. Increase the opacity of the banner.
