Is there a way of increasing the width of the LaunchBar bar? Especially when I enter something that results in a web page, this width is insufficient for showing the full title, not even talking about what I entered.

Yes.

  • Move your mouse curser to the left/right edge of the launch bar. Then you can increase the width.
  • Use ctrl+⇧+←/→ to change the width in pre-defined increments.

When you hover over the edges your mouse cursor changes it's icon. Unfortunately, you cannot get that icon to see on the screenshot. – gentmatt Mar 21 '12 at 8:45
@MaxRied No hurry :) – gentmatt Mar 21 '12 at 8:45
Acutually for me the cursor doens't change. Do you know a way to restore its default size (beside deleting its preference file...)? – Max Ried Mar 21 '12 at 8:46

The problem is that just after I first changed its width a window manager interfered and tried to maxime it :-p. OK, thanks, I'm using 5.2.907. I'll file a bug report and a feature request. – Max Ried Mar 21 '12 at 8:54
