Package: hamster-applet Version: 2.28.1-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi, first of all: the hamster-applet is great! Thanks for your work! The latest version of hamster creates a much wider window when clicking on the applet. Especially for the german translation e.g. in the ClearCase gnome theme the window is wider than my 1024x768 screen. Hamster is only usable for me, if I move it far to the left side of the gnome-panel (the window pops up left aligned to the applet position). The problem is reduced, when I limit the text length of the description label in that window (allowing the line to wrap). But the input field for the current activity is still too wide for my screen. Sadly I don't know enough about GTK to fix this. (the applet window layout is defined in /usr/share/hamster-applet/applet.ui) An horizontally smaller window would be a real usability improvement! Attached you find a screenshot of the window layout on my screen. thanks for your work!
