Re: [Lxde-list] Important UX problems of LxQt::ConfigDialog

[Jerome L. <ad...@gm...>]

As mentioned on gtalk I believe for the time being we are better off
with using a horizontal icon view, like Firefox:
https://mediacru.sh/pavOXN9geDcp

In a horizontal icon view, the issue is a lot less visible as we can
make the grid larger as needed (to a point).
We should also strive for short strings in there, even if they have to
deviate from the original english string.
Iff the string is larger than the alloted size, then we should
truncate it with "...". This is indeed a problem for some strings, but
once again we have control over the app so we can ask translators to
mind the string and make sure the app is usable regardless without
having to take extra technical precautions.

Longer term maybe this is a job for qml?
