How to show the complete title of an app?

Some apps with a longer title show up on the launcher screen (trebuchet) with a shortened title. E.g. an application with the title "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" will be titled "abcdefghi..". The same applies to videos linked with a shortcut to the screeen (I used the app "media shortcut" for this). Is there a way to show the whole title before opening the app or the video? I have a lot of videos that I would like to distinguish before opening them.
