[rox-devel] ROX display styles

[Thomas L. <ta...@ec...>]

OK, the CVS version has three 'Full Info' display styles (summary, sizes
and size bars). What else do we need/want?

That might work. Currently, we're not truncating the name at all and this
actually seems to work well (a size which would be too wide in Small Icons
mode actually looks fine in the Full Info modes).

The bars should probably line up on the left in the small-with-bars mode
though...
