I tested this in Russian (which is notorious for having some of the longest msgstr) in 1024x768:

Result: It's OK. It fits.

UI-wise I don't dislike.. in fact I might even like it better. It's subjective.

My issue with it is that I don't want every little detail of every single tool to be configurable like that. If we start doing that for the position of text in the toolbar, how far can we go? I mean.. how about custom icons for the update types? re-orderable columns? Font selection for package description...

If it looks better, even if it is indeed subjective, then we should decide accordingly and go for it. If not, then we shouldn't. There's no reason to be that granular in configuration.

Also, if we adopt text beside icons, we probably need to assess where else this is done and not done and see if we change this globally or not.

I'll mark this as WIP for now.

i agree that we cant we cant have a setting for everything. i went with this hack because my proposal of text besides icons for mintupdate by default was dismissed, this was just an attempt to make everyone happy :) . I would love to see this being the default with no setting required, unfortunately for small things like this sometimes is hard to get people's attention n have em give their opinions about it

Blueman is another app that could benefit from some toolbar rework. I dont think it's worth pushing for a global setting for this since toolbars became a style class in gtk4

Hey there. Any chances of getting this merged for the upcoming version? If not a setting making it the default look maybe?

Not for 22.1.

There are some idea for a UI overhaul for mintupdate, it might fit into that though but it's not short-term.
