• Colors for character count on message popup match colors on Twitter Web
• Character count on message popup turns yellow when approaching limit with 20 characters left, just like on Twitter Web

• Removed useless error::fatal() message
• Disabling "Ok" button when no text is entered or when too much text is over service limit

• Replaced many if else statements with match statements
