I like the examples from reply #13 more than the examples from reply #12.

I think the author line should be dark blue like the pack and position, to not stand out as much. It's as relevant as the pack and position.

Pack name is nice for livestreaming. People will see excerpts without stream metadata (stream title). Good to orient viewers.

Re long pack names: When you have to trim long pack and position because of long directory names, cut from the left. Or cut from the center. Don't cut from the right. People tend to be happy with the position.

Spacing is a concern for later. Now, if author is missing, there is gap. I don't mind the gap much.

Agreed. If not the same shade (i.e. blue), we can find some other darker shade for this line.

Re long pack names: When you have to trim long pack and position because of long directory names, cut from the left. Or cut from the center.

Agreed. At present, the line can be 48 characters max, and then the pack name is omitted.

Maybe keeping the pack name but dropping characters from the center of the string could work...?

So:

SOME RIDICULOUSLY LONG PACK NAME - SOME RIDICULOUSLY LONG GROUP NAME 20

Would become:

SOME RIDICULOUSLY LONG P ... OUSLY LONG GROUP NAME 20

Maybe it's best just to omit the pack name?

The gap is fine as it doesn't appear in the middle of the block, it just elongates the space between the level title and the top visible line of the block.
