Wrap long tile names onto a second line

senlycharlesSuggested this wish ·

What happens now

A tile name is always one line, and a name that doesn't fit is cut with "…". On my Guition 4" (default 2×3 grid) names like "Living room ceiling light" and "Living room floor lamp" both end up as "Living room…", so similar tiles are hard to tell apart at a glance.

What I'd like

An option to let the name wrap onto two lines, and only fall back to "…" when two lines still aren't enough. It could be per tile (in the tile drawer) or per screen (in Screen settings), whichever fits the design better.

Why the current workarounds aren't great

  • Giving the tile a shorter name works, but it's a second set of names to keep in sync with Home Assistant.
  • A double-width tile gives more room, but uses two cells for one switch.
  • Removing the icon (the "Make Icons Optional" wish) would help a bit, but wrapping keeps the icon and still fits more text.

Thanks for Tessera, setting up the screen was really smooth.
