@davepl we could marquee the titles. That only really works if we have a backing frame where we can revert the draw calls. I'm not sure if we do. (I think MOST effects will effectively repaint the whole screen within a few dozen frames anyway. Some may get distortion." I know Sand, for example, only repaints a triangular ray shooting from top center to just inside bottom corners. We could allow for multiple lines. We could just change the names to only use skinny letters. "Hey, I like effect II1]|1l!ii!1!!!" We could change the names, declaring a maximum (translated? In German where everything is 3x as long?) length and assert on startup. We can go down a few dot sizes on the font, but it's not like we have great resolution. Short essay: We could do something else. Fill in the blank.

Your decision. I'm assigning it to you. Feel free to send it back to me if there's tangible work to do or just close it.

To save you from typing awk -F\" '/LEDStripEffect.)/ {print length($2), " ", $2}' SM*h | sort -n I've done so below. (I didn't get it on my first try...)

Could there ever be a Mesmerizer with a 16x16 HUB75? It's not totally crazy.... Does that change your mind about any of the above? If that doesn't, i18n might.

For a developer-oriented product, "Don't Care" is a perfectly answer for me... Devs will pick what they want and then turn that off anyway. I don't think that's a BAD answer.

Over to you, sir.

I've already renamed all the active ones to fit in the display, and that's the way I plan to proceed. The reality is they won't fit on a 32x32 or smaller matrix, but I can live with 64x32 being the min spec for now.
