</div>I though of that just after I posted that message. Maybe the full path<br>
unit name can be shorten with ellipses in the middle and space created<br>
for the class name. The problem is, sometimes class names are long, so<br>
what happens if they don't fit into the allocated area? Can you have<br>
tooltips on a statusbar area?<br>
<br>
Creating a editor tooltip (similar to what the original SynEdit has<br>
for showing line numbers while you scroll) will overcome the long<br>
class names. The tooltip can adjust to whatever size is required.</blockquote><div><br>You can place ToolTips for each band.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div>This would be great, but is still not going to solve my problem, plus<br>
now my editor space (visible lines I can see at once) is going to be<br>
even smaller. I see around 43 lines of code at once in my current<br>
editor, but have no clue what class I am in. This gets even worse if<br>
the current method has nested procedures and functions.</blockquote><div><br>Buy a bigger screen :D<br>I'm using a wide screen of 1680x1050, yet there are always more lines I can use.<br>I also seen a Google employee that rotate his wide screen so instead of the wide part is to the sides, it's on top to bottom, so he can gain more data (but you need a screen that support rotation with it's holders).<br>
