Full Name truncated

[Jamie Macdonald]

My name is Jamie Macdonald.

Elementary displays it as Jamie Macdon... on the login screen. Should it dynamically resize to fit long names?

Beautiful login by the way.

Yea we should probably resize the window if there is room. Otherwise, if there isn't room to resize, we should shorten to "Jamie M."

I'll make it truncate it, I'm not sure if making it larger would really allow that much more room. But I'll take a look at it.

I did the "truncate" with a period. Some examples...

Regular Name - http://s3.postimage.org/w50ut77w3/Selection_003.png
Truncated Long Name - http://s12.postimage.org/rmmiw5jel/Selection_004.png

The only thing I am questioning is, names that have 2 last names (Von Katt, Mc Smith, etc). Should we make an exception to handle those? Or is first character of last name fine.

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Hm that's a really interesting problem. Maybe for multiple last names we should just truncate normally with ellipsis?

[Jamie Macdonald (jamie-alban)]

Could it be the first initial of each last name?
Like Jerry Von Kat -> Jerry V. K.

is this still an issue with the isis-series trunk?
