Howdy,
I've been working in Haiku all week on a climate modeling app (no joke)
and found myself increasingly annoyed by the difficulty in determining
which file was being represented by which entry in the Deskbar's for the
team menu's expanded state. I didn't want to change Pe to make the
paths go away, so the only logical course of action was to cleanup the
name as displayed by Deskbar.
At the same time, I found it very redundant to place the team's name in
the window title, even if the application has done so itself (it makes
since for the window, no sense for the Deskbar, IMHO).
As such, I created a patch, which can be found here:
http://files.looncraz.net/deskbarCleanupWindowTitles.patch
It adds a new option to the Deskbar preferences under the expander
options "Cleanup window titles." Hopefully this is found to be useful
by others and can be committed (it is optional, and disabled by default).
In addition to this, I would like to get some feedback on adding a
Deskbar Width slider. On my own system, I like to override the minimum
width variable and make it 50% bigger - since I have widescreen
monitors. I can't see how others would feel the same, to be honest.
Deskbar's size and layout was designed when everyone used 800x600 or
1024x768. Today, the average is, IIRC, 1366x768.
