Feature request: show full title on hover

[protist]

Hi, I don't have a lot of room for this plasmoid in my panel. Generally that is fine; I can get the gist of the window title from the plasmoid.

However, in some cases, it's useful to know the full title of the window. For these rare cases, perhaps it would be possible to show the full title of the window when I hover over the plasmoid?

It's a good idea, I'll work on it, thanks!

I actually like this too, and it could be combined with issue #21 so, if enabled as an option, just the app appears in the applet and full title on hovering... does it sound appropriate?

[protist]

I personally would only ever want the window title displayed; I find the application icon sufficient to work out what application is running. However, as long as a fix to #21 is just an option, I'm not adverse to it.

I don't actually use the icons, nor in the windows neither in the applet, I prefer the name, that is why I ask for that option :)

Implemented (tooltip or text shrink) in latest commits. Please reopen when necessary.

Works great! Thank you for the quick and effective fix. I also love the automatic text shrink option. It's a very elegant solution IMO.

Thanks, I'm glad You like it. :)

Definitely! However, I have one minor quibble with the text shrink. Would it be possible for users to specify a minimum font size? In some cases, the text is way too small to be useful.

It looks like you've restricted it to two lines, which seems reasonable for a horizontal panel, at least. However, once the font size gets beyond threshold points, perhaps an ellipsis could be shown, as per the elide option. (Also, thank you for introducing me to a new word. :smiley: )

You're right, it needs to be tuned, thanks for feedback!
