What I'd propose it looks like:

This:
- Removes a the button's design element that if you're using a dark theme is super bright
- Removes the white-space character count ( I'm not sure what that's used for? )

Again, I'm making design issues before attempting a fix, I may be missing context about why it is built the way it is.

Research direction

Use the before-and-after screenshots in issue #436 to identify the word-count details and the button styling that should change. No source file or test is named, so first locate the word-count UI in the MacDown desktop application; done means the details are presented inline without the proposed bright button element or white-space character count.
