Why are Power ups showing full title across top of Board now?

Trello used to just display a simple icon for each power up across the top of each board, but now it has the full name description which is just adding unnecessary clutter to each board. Is there a way to revert to the icon only display.

Hi @David Naylor 

 

I don't think this has changed, the power-ups show as an icon if your browser window is shrunk but at full width, as far as I remember, has always shown the names.

Thanks. I'm newish to using Trello again. Even on my wide screen view they were definitely all just ICONS ONLY for the last few weeks, until yesterday.

I do think it was reverted to being able to display the full name after temporarily being changed to icon only.

This is, to me, likely one of those things where they tested the change and reverted it due to complaints. I'm one of those people who likes it to only shrink if the space is needed; I feel like seeing the names is better for people who are brand new to Trello, and they are likely the ones who don't have a lot of Power Ups installed yet. Then, once they install more, they are probably used to the location of the power-ups on their screen.

When there are a lot of buttons and a new user doesn't know what they do, they are more likely to reject Trello, in my experience.
