The current GUI shows a tooltip, but that is like searching a needle in the haystack

Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

This is for Choqok-1.2 with the new GUI (timeline icons on the left side).  KDE bugzilla misses Choqok-1.2 in de dropdown menu.

Have the name of timeline mentioned over the timeline icon (binocular).

I have now 4 binocular icons above each other without name.  Therefor I 
don't know which timeline is providing what channel.  Is it possible to put the 
name of the channel in a small font over the binocular icon?  Perhaps the 
first N characters of the name are enough.  Perhaps it can be made 
configurable whether a user wants to have the name over / under the binocular icon or not (or just only the name).

I'm having those timelines for time now, and it is still not known to me where which timeline is located.  Having the text with the icon, would make it a much nicer interface.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have multiple timelines on the left side of the GUI.

Actual Results:  
There are only icons, no names.  It is hard to guess which icon provides what channel.

Expected Results:  
Show the timeline names (if it does not fit, just the beginning of the name and fading out at the end of the available space).  Or make the icons configurable, so it is easier to associate a timeline with a different icon.

The current GUI shows a tooltip, but that is like searching a needle in the haystack.
