GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 118094
Support priority text in Toolbar
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:12:26 UTC
The Epiphany toolbar does not obey the GNOME toolbar text placement on my system. Other applications such as Nautilus and Galeon do obey the placement. With "Text Beside Icons" selected, Epiphany should display the text beside the icons and should only display text for the "Back" and "Home" icons (look at Nautilus for an example).
Moving to gtk+, although technically we copy and paste the code. Soeron, I think you have misinterpreted the ui teams stance on this issue. If you look at the mailing list archives you mentioned in your recent gtk-devel email, seth was considering using prioirity text as the default gnome toolbar layout. However some nagging by maciej and calum convinced him that icons +text (with the text below the icon) was a better default toolbar layout. The UI team did not however say prioirty text was bad as a preference, in particular because text on the right without prioirity text makes this layout somewhat pointless as toolbars will almost always overflow.
