App drawer : display app's name on two lines (or more)

General Information

  • OpenLauncher Version: 0.7.3
  • Android Version: 7.1.2
  • Custom ROM: /e/ OS
  • Install Source: F-Droid

Description

Currently, with OpenLauncher 0.7.3 running on a Samsung Galaxy S4 with 5 apps per column in the app drawer, only the first 4 letters of the apps' names are displayed, the rest being replaced by an ellipsis (), if the app's name is 8 characters or more (it may more precisely be tied to the letters' width actually), which both isn't very useful and looks rather ugly.

Displaying the app's name on two lines would allow to show the full app's name (which is more useful) and reduce the occurrence of ellipsis (which is less ugly), solving both problems at the same time. :-)

My current workaround is to limit the apps number per column to 4 instead of the default 5, which still displays too many cut/'ellipsised' names.

Here's an example on a Sony Xperia M (nicki) running OpenLauncher 0.7.4 :

With only 4 columns instead of 5, it' slightly more useable but still not great : Screenshot_20210601-094950
