      Description

      In Cytoscape App Store, each App has a short description that is shown on the App's page underneath the App's short name and also in the tile.

      For an example, take a look at the Omics visualizer page on apps.cytoscape.org.

      Currently, in testappstore.bioviz.org, the much longer description of the App (decoded from base64) is being shown in the tile, and there is no short title being shown.

      In IGB App Store, the short description should be shown in the tile, not the first part of the description as is currently happening.

      Note that the short description has to be entered manually by the developer. This data is not being provided by the jar file when uploaded. Please check into how the cytoscape app store code is processing the jar file – does Cytoscape include a custom MANIFEST value for the description? If yes, maybe we can do that, as well? We can decide what to do based on what we learn from their code base.

      A related issue: Please find out what font and font size are being used for the various elements of the Cytoscape App Store home page. I would like to match that, if we can.
