Description

If you have the GPG icon on the right and make the list smaller it will blend together with the text. See screenshot. I tested this with more than one GTK themes.

Replying to asterix:

what's the pb ?

Is this meant to be a "feature"? It looks like a bug. I wouldn't display the icon transparently, also, the icon seems to be displayed on a white background. And if some part of the name is cut off I would use ellipsing. Mockup follows

it is transparent because not all your accounts are securely connected.

for elipsize, I don't like cause roster is already not very large, so if we remove one or 2 more characters because we add ..., we'll see nothing

Interesting... I don't have the see-through thing anymore (donno if you noticed, on icon.png you actually see what's behind the lock icon!). Will need to try to reproduce... I see the point concerning ellipses.

But the GPG icon should not be put ontop a white background, see screenshot

Ah silly me! The see-through "bug" apperas if you select that line (merged accounts or $accountname). So to reproduce, select an account header and make the window as small as possible - and then select another line and compare

I don't have your white background image bug here, image is transparent, so that should not happen.

about the see-through thing, it's a GTK+ thing. I sent them a mail to know more: gtk-list archive

I vote for ellipsization. It's the right thing to do and not only with padlock icons, same applies to avatars (try and set an avatar which is a black square with transparency set to 50% to see what I mean). Looks hell of an ugly and unfortunately I can't force all my contacts to use square and opaque avatars (if the avatar is wider than taller the same visual glitch applies - you can see half of the letters below the avatar).

i agree, elipsizing would look better.

  Changed 21 months ago by asterix

and for contact with no avatar, we'll have an empty space on the right at the place of the avatar column, won't that look strange ?

Asterix, I already have an empty space at the place of avatar. See #2473.

+1 for ellipsizations.

Those who think that this lost space looks odd can assign a custom avatar. I want to shorten messages because it looks horrible when they appear under opaque avatars.

Patch is ready, just say yes... :-)

commit it, we'll what users think about that :)
