Which leads to the question how to deal with these rather longer custom
status. All system strings are rather short - New, Sent, Read, Replied
- (which makes sense esp. in list view mode). Of course, the
icon+status view can grow with the status string...
But is there a better solution?
Moving the status into the header section would add a 4th line. I'd
like to avoid that.
OTOH, not having the status under the icon would allow for avatars with
the height of the 3 header lines, approx. 48x48 instead of 32x32.
Should anyone like the avatar idea...
And, using a drop-down instead of the bit hidden right-click menu for
status setting doesn't look as light-weight as the simple label under
the icon.
Maybe the user will just be gently nudged to use shorter strings, when
he sees the status area grow/shrink... :)
