Guidelines

Discussion

• If the vertical size becomes too big due to the number of items and incorporating editable entries, we can have an alternative, more compact layout for the logo/version number:

• If we wanted to show the "fallback" hostname (empty pretty hostname) we could use the shared CcEditableEntry widget. Matthias mentioned that we could fix the alignment problems by putting the other labels inside a notebook (just as the CcEditableEntry does, and hides it well). (BastienNocera)
