Description Jack Hill 2023-04-13 12:09:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
The current buttons for actions such as "Visit component's homepage" and "Email contributor" are currently flat icons. Personally I look at these and think "why are there random images of globes/envelopes?"

I think that:
1) They should be given a raised look
2) They should not be icons-only
3) The buttons in the components tab should be replaced by hyperlinks. They are the de-facto UI element for taking people to websites, after all.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Go to the About Dolphin window
3. Look at the "Components" and "Authors" tabs

OBSERVED RESULT
What seems to be random icons of globes/envelopes

EXPECTED RESULT
Either raised buttons with text explaining what the button does, or hyperlinks (for the components tab).
