An example from another GNOME extension spotify-tray: gif

This would allow having a relative short max string length while being able to see all details.

Hi!

I'm not sure if we can add this without hurting maintainability. The implementation is rather complex and we are currently changing the core code of the extension.

I also personally don't like it.

However spotify-tray and this extension are based around the same object (PanelMenu.button), and they were very similar before (probably they still are) so it might be possible to make it work by just pasting the code and tweaking it a bit.

I can't work on this, but if you or anyone else manages to make it work please share it! I probably wouldn't add it to the code but it might be possible to make a patch out of it.

No problem! I don't have any experience developing GNOME extensions, so it might take some time for me to implement it. I might come back to it when I have the time to.

In the meantime, I'll close this as unplanned, if I successfully implemented this I'll comment here.
