prevent game names from obscuring images

Issue #5534 new
Sam created an issue

In recent LaunchBox versions, game names are displayed directly over game images. The problem is that long names can often cover up more than half of the image, rendering the screen shot or box art etc almost invisible.

Some possible remedies may include:

  • provide an option to display game names below images
  • showing only one line of game name at the bottom of the image, up to some number of characters, then truncate the remainder (eg "Super Mario 64 ..."). Users can click and check out the info box on the right for the full name
  • display only the main part of the name, without certain information such as revision number.
  • shrink the name by using smaller fonts for longer names
  • use a more transparent text background for additional visibility
