Description Victor Toni (reporter) 2005-11-08 20:04:18 UTC

The news reader in the "home" view should be resizeable because many news
cannot
even display half of their title.

One could move and resize this applet to show more information.

Comment 1 Urho Konttori 2005-11-14 12:24:25 UTC

I agree. Ability to use smaller font would be very beneficial for the use of
news applet. Also, refresh button could smaller and could be moved to the window
top as well as the 0/whatever unread. There is no need to display a line saying
latest posts. It might as well say latest news in the title bar, or get rid of
the 'Latest' part alltogether. As if there was a way of using other sorting for
the applet.

I also agree that it would be nice to be able to resize the news window. Even if
it would mean that it would support two sizes, small and large. 

Also ability to select it to only show new news items would be nice option.

In Large mode it might be goot to allow it to contain small box at the bottom
that would be used to precview the content of the news item in same manner as in
the actual news browsed (but only show contents of one news item and no action
buttons). 

In it's current state news applet is very nice indeed, however with small tweaks
it would be so much better.

Claiming ownership.

Comment 3 Maemo QA (deprecated) 2006-05-17 16:41:13 UTC

Applets are movable in Internet Tablet 2006 Software Edition. However, the
applet itself is not resizeable, thus leaving bug report open. Enhancement
request will be forwarded to upstream maintainer ASAP.

Comment 4 Jussi Kukkonen 2006-06-11 14:05:24 UTC

This bug is not related to just the news applet. Any applet with potentially
lots of content should be resizable. A new example on the 2006 beta is the
contact applet.

Changing summary:
news applet should be resizeable --> (some) applets should be resizeable
Changing component:
News Reader --> Desktop

I hope those changes are correct/acceptable. The additional enhancements listed
by Urho Konttori should probably have their own bugs?

This is fixed in ITOS 2007
