the name column on the application manager for installed programs is too small and i only see a few letters of each application, how can i fix the columns, any help appreciated

thanks

Either grab the latest svn or wait for Diablo.

The first requires more knowledge, the second requires for patience.

what is svn ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software)

Essentially, it's a source checkout system. You go there with your svn client and download the latest source and compile it on your system.

Dont know any solution for installed programs, but there is a get around for the others. Say, for example, under "red pill" mode, for the Browse installable apps, under heading "all", it shows an icon and 3 and a quarter letters. Not much of a help, eh? However, if you go beyond heading "all" and choose each of the sub section, you can see more characters, i.e. a broader column. It works the same for "blue pill" although the situation is less critical, i.e, section "all" gives a small column, all else give a broader column.

Finally, there is always the blue icon "i", stands for information. For any program that you want to see the whole title, especially in "red pill" mode, you can always either click on the blue icon "i" or click on the program and then "Details", it will then spell out the whole title of the program. However, this way shows one program at a time only. Hope it helps, or as GA suggests, one can always wait for the Diablo.
