Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Nothing broken, just a feature request: When on any page (from the Home and from sidebar buttons, etc), except for when clicking on and viewing a single book, I have not found a setting that allows me to view the full book title if it is longer than 22 characters. Some book covers aren't friendly for reading the full title in the cover image, which motivated my request to be able to see the full title in text, below the book cover. By book title and in my use case, I am referring to the Title field defined in the Calibre app.

Describe the solution you'd like A global option from Settings > Edit UI Configuration > View Configuration to "Always display the full book title" would be great. A different better approach might be to include an option in the side bar to "Show Full Title", but that might be more complicated to implement when integrating sorting functions. Any ability to do this would be great.

Here is a pseudo example of a book title, when viewed as defined above: Only view now (that I've found): "This Interesting Book ..." Requesting a Click or Tap of some button to support viewing the full book title: "This Interesting Book Name That Is Longer"

This request might be supported in the way the Series tag wraps text below the book cover image, where the Series tag already supports showing a pretty lengthy series name. As long as the Title formatting is still larger/bolder than the the Author and Series fields, I'd think it would look good and be friendly to read, almost regardless of the character length of the Title. FWIW and for comparison, the Authors field does not word-wrap. That's not a request but is an observation for comparison.

Additional context Super awesome app and much appreciated :)

The no. of authors can be limited in the settings, default is "0", which means showing all author names. I added tooltips to covers and title on hovering over the elements
