1320653 - Too much white space on the right side of awesomescreen history entries

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect)

Description

[Jan Henning [:JanH]]

All URL list entries on the awesomescreen fade out somewhat early, leaving a blank white space on most entries.

I know that space is supposed to be reserved for the bookmark star, however
- we never display a star within the bookmarks panel itself, yet still fade out early
- I'm not 100 % sure, but I don't think we're showing bookmark stars either within the synced tabs folder
- on the history panel itself most entries probably won't have a bookmark star either

which leaves only top sites and history search results and even there, not all results will automatically be bookmarks.

The end result is that a lot of the time we're displaying only whitespace instead of being able to show a few more characters of the title and URL.

We do not show the bookmark star, but other indicators could show up. See screenshot for an example showing the "available offline" icon.

Nevertheless the fade could be more dynamic. @antlam: What's your opinion here?

We originally thought it should be more dynamic actually. If no icon is present (e.g. for "Hawaii All Hands", and "12 Signs you're working in a Feature..." , the fade stops a little bit further to the right. 

Exactly 25dp from the right edge :)
