Enabling/disabling could be done with a contextual menu or via the action button at the bottom of the list. Disabled accounts could be separated with a 'Disabled Accounts' header. Do you really use that checkbox to enable/disable all the time? I certainly don't. When I do, it certainly wouldn't be a big deal to right click instead of the box.
I actually kind of like this one. I could see it working. As far as the issue of long names, you can show the full name with a tooltip if it needs to be truncated because of length. -Eric On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 2:23 PM, Chris Forsythe <ch...@growl.info> wrote: > I really like the accounts as-is with the purpose of the pane.
