But on SLES, if you think about the major versions and service packs, the version is much more important than the timestamps. So no change for SLES, for Tumbleweed someboy need to find out what is helpfull there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

How about Leap ? Is it also fine to leave out "name version" by which the text is also truncated ?.
(In reply to Thorsten Kukuk from comment #11)
Leap is identical to SLES: you can jump between versions, and here timestamps don't help you to identify the Leap version.
IMHO it's not fine to leave out name+version anywhere as a user might go from one distribution to another so no need to make it any different -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Setting the boot_menu.width to 80% can see the full snapshot title at resolution 800x600.
+ boot_menu { left = 10% width = 80% top = 33% height = 34% ... }
Frederic, what do you think about the change to the branding package ? Thanks.
I'm fine with it. This will probably require some openQA needle update but that's ok. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
