            Bug ID: 15355
           Summary: Calculator's label takes space
    Classification: Panel Plugins
           Product: Xfce4-calculator-plugin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: goodies-dev at xfce.org
          Reporter: mi+xfce-2014 at aldan.algebra.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The localized label for calculator takes about as much space as the field meant
for the user's expression -- doubling the size of the applet on the panel.

Maybe, it should instead be shown inside the field -- until the user types
something? I think, the modern term for this is "placeholder" or "watermark".
Although there is a debate among user-interface designers on their general use:

in this case it seems a clear winner...
