How to widen "Window List Item" boxes in (Cinnamon) Gnome Desktop to fit?
I was able to hack this functionality into the code of cinnamon 2.2 running on debian 8. This should also work on Ubuntu, maybe the path is a bit different.
- open this file in an editor
/usr/share/cinnamon/applets/[email protected]/applet.js - find function
_getContentPreferredWidth: function(actor, forHeight, alloc) - change
alloc.natural_size = 150 * global.ui_scale;toalloc.natural_size = 350 * global.ui_scale;where 350 is your desired width.
Good luck!
