Bring back tabbar similar to version 7.9

[binocular222]

Hi,
My Tabbar gets crowded too frequently, I want it to spread entire screen width (similar to version 7.9 in the screenshot)
Is there any setting to enable this?

Code: Select all

LayoutSP=4

    + Added tweak to layout the top bars as it was possible before Dual 
      Pane was introduced. Note that this layout is only applied in 
      Single Pane Mode. However, you can toggle panes while using the SP 
      layout, so can enjoy advantages of both worlds.
        [General]
        LayoutSP=0
      Possible values:
        0 = Same as Dual Pane (= tweak is OFF)
        1 = [Address Bar] [Toolbar & Tabs]
        2 = [Address Bar] [Tabs & Toolbar]
        3 = [Toolbar & Address Bar] [Tabs]
        4 = [Address Bar & Toolbar] [Tabs]

Oh Gosh, Thank you so much!!!

Nice
A couple of suggestions:
a) Add the options to Window -> Layout
b) Remove 'Window -> Layout' and add a new Layout category to configuration perhaps with something to illustrate the various options.

I believe that tweak was added to keep some pre-existing users happy after the Dual Pane transition and thus going forward, that it shouldn't be encouraged except in rare cases like this...so keeping it as tweak makes the best sense at this point.

Ah, well, I didn't look into it to see how new that tweak was.
It just that ... well ... anything that helps reclaim more screen space for things that need it like the tab bar.

Its not as visually pleasing but it might work for a double-pane layout if you add the option for the tab-bar to wrap (creating a multi-line tab-bar for each pane if its needed).

Have you looked at the various ways to reduce the size of each tab, such as iconize and custom tab captions? I use custom set at "<drive>:~<folder>" with the tilde as reminder that part of path isn't showing (but it's available via hovering).

I tried to rename Tab's caption to <drive>:~<folder> but it displays as "<drive>:~<folder>" and does not change to current folder's name. Do I need additional settings?

Make sure you're doing it here:
Tools -> Configuration... -> Tabs -> Custom...

Ah yes, it is. This change ALL tab to show Drive letter and folder name.
But when I right click tab > Rename > and type: UNDP project\<folder> it does not show flexible folder name. Maybe we shoud put this to wish list.

Good idea, done.
