Easy improvements to Create Media and UI/UX

[ModernBlueprints]

Suggestions:

1. In Settings: Add a key combination shortcut option for "Create Media"
2. In Witsy's UI: Add a dedicated button for Media Creation, Voice mode, text-to-speech etc.
3. In Media Creation: Add functionality for 1) Image-Image and 2) Image-video creation

See the attached image for my suggestion of where the dedicated buttons could be implemented in the UI.

I like the idea of the buttons. Not sure though which ones should go there though as I don't know which feature people use the most. I have been thinking of adding some kind of telemetry (anonymous and only feature usage) so I can get rid of the code that is not used anymore.

[ModernBlueprints]

Yes, perfect. Those are basically the features I also thought about.

I think having some buttons for those in the UI would be very nice :)

If you find a better name for "Voice Mode" I welcome ideas!

[ModernBlueprints]

I used 15 minutes to look into different names, what I've found out is that OpenAI calls their equivalent app functionality for "Advanced Voice". xAI calls theirs "Voice Mode", Anthropic haven't released a name yet, but most thing point to them also calling it "Voice Mode". Only companies such as Apple have branded theirs ("Siri").

Suggestions for re-naming could be "Voice Chat", "Live Voice", "Speak" etc. However, I think that it makes most sense to keep the name "Voice Mode". It nails exactly what the feature does: real-time voice conversation.

I find the wording "Mode" to be very generic. I like "Voice Chat". Will probably use that

[ModernBlueprints]

I agree. Good take!

Before exposing Computer Use I think it needs some improvement: the main Witsy window should be hidden when prompt is submitted and a mini window should appear giving some status info. Some work to do...

Looks fantastic! Just what I imagined.

If I was to be a picky bastard, I would recommend rounding off the four corners of the buttons for a more modern and pleasant feel (see picture). I also changed the icon the Voice Mode from a speech bubble to a talking head. I'm not sure what works best? Both arre probably decent. My reasoning for the change is that a chat bubble is so often used to indicate a text-based chat.

I would also keep the name "Voice Mode" instead of "Interactive Chat". I think "Voice Mode" is more explanatory and fits with the industry's naming standards.

Regarding Computer Use, I have looked a bit into something what would lift Witsy to a new level. I'll start a new discussion on it!
