Hi, thank you for your work on this; I liked what I saw so far.
I've just finished an UX research on Lightning Network (including wallets) and found some possible improvements on Eclair's interface.

In this issue, the specific problem I'd like to discuss is that the total amount of funds in the wallet (displayed on top of every page) could be shown in fiat currency, as well.

If valid, I think this should be in a smaller font and placed next to or below the total value. And if there are any questions or I can help on the discussion, just ping me here please.

I will file other separated issues so things don't get too cluttered here; I hope they are helpful. :)
If somebody would like to see more about the research, here is the Eclair part specifically..
Thanks!

Edit: By the way, I was using Eclair 0.2.5 in an Android version 5.1.

Here is a screen lacking the value in fiat currency as an example:

I understand you are asking something slightly different, but do you know that you can switch from BTC to fiat by tapping on the balance?

Thank you for answering this @pm47. Cool, I didn't know that.
Maybe, there could be a way to make that behavior more obvious to users because it seems to me that it's not so easy to discover this feature exists.
