Re^3: Table of Contents in Newest Nodes (smaller!)

please consider what this will look like when there are 10 sections involved

Um, the example I showed included 8 sections and there is still plenty of room in my widow for two more sections on the second line (I removed the pmdev sections as they don't apply to most users). So I don't see the problem. Now, if you put the counts and "New" stuff back in (and perhaps the pre/post texts), then it wouldn't work for me. In particular, having those types of numbers that are not lined up usually sucks). So I don't know what you had originally that people didn't like, but it sounds like it was quite a bit different than what I proposed.

FWI, I'd implement this in part by removing "New " from all of the settings and prepending a hard-coded "New " to each section heading. YMMV.

Heh. Ok, my counting isnt so hot. :-) Im a hacker not an abacus damnit! Anyway, yes you are more or less correct about the differences between my original inline version and yours. And your comments about changing the setting values is appreciated. I still have the pmdev mentality that there are things beyond my powers to change I guess as changing them never occured to me. Extending the setting did but changing the text never did. :-) Ill let you know when ive put together a new patch. --- demerphq _{First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Gandhi}	[reply] [d/l]
