Tokens: identify using the token name rather than symbol

Open lkngtn opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Token Symbols are typically all caps and limited to a few characters. This is makes sense as a ticker symbol, but isn't very friendly. Currently the client will use the Token Symbol rather than Token Name when multiple token managers are installed in an organization. It would be preferrable (imo) if we used Token Name instead as there seems to be plenty of space for most token names and it looks cleaner.

Describe the solution you'd like Use token name instead of token symbol when displaying instances of the token manager app.

Describe alternatives you've considered A better and more complete solution would be allow organizations to manage custom labels for apps displayed in the menu bar. This would be a much better solution and would make this issue irrelevant.

Additional context an example image My current work around is to just make the token symbol the same as the token name, though this is not possible when using the onboarding template, only from the CLI, and it's a bit of a hack that might present problems down the line if third party apps require token symbol to be short.

Good catch -- will do for 0.8.x

Long names may be a problem for overflowing—we can use a rule based on the length of the name.

If the name is too long, fallback to displaying the symbol.
