ADD option to display values in multiple lines
use case
currently I have only 260 tabs open in 58 windows. I Click on the extension icon to toggle between views: I choose the "Tab count/Window Count" view
expected result
the extension icon shows: 260/58
actual result
the extension icon shows: 260/: (50% of the 5 is visible)
solution
since the extension icon itself is not important to users, please add an option to display values in multiple lines. Ideally 3 lines to support #5 aswell
example
260 [58] (3)
where (3) is the number of tabs opened in current window (if #5 gets supported)
Unforunately Chrome doesn't allow new lines in badge texts. Morover the badge text is limited to 4 characters and there isn't much around it.
The only place we could could show more info is with either the tooltip that appears when hovering (i.e. the "Tab count/Window Count" text), or a popup that opens on click. I feel like a popup is more usable as the hover tooltip is rather slow to appear. I'll try and get around to it this week.
Cheers
damn Chrome and its limitations :(
is it possible to dynamically change the extension icon to a generated image with all the needed numbers to bypass this?
Yeah good idea, that'll work. I've created a working proof of concept but I need to see how can I make it aesthetic/readable, and optionally customizable.
