Extending tab bar across window

[martin88]

Hi,
How do I extend the tab bar so that it fills the entire width of the window?

Like this:


Thanks.

Welcome!

Uncheck "Flexible width" in Configuration > Tabs.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums from me also!

Uncheck "Flexible width" in Configuration > Tabs.

I don't recall that tabs can be extended over the tree/catalog area as that's a separate 'pane' (not sure of correct term)...I seem to remember someone asking for this before and it wasn't possible but I could be wrong...but "Flex Width" does not extend tabs there because tabs have to be contained within a given pane.

UPD: However, I did now find this post: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 742#p35742 that seems to relate...and a setting in my INI called "LayoutSP".

And this describes that tweak: http://xyplorer.blogspot.com/2009/08/v8 ... -1539.html

Hi,
Yes this is what I am trying to do, to get the tab bar to extent over to the tree areas.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

Please see the updates I made to my above post after you responded...at least for single-pane mode, it's possible, but NOT when in DP mode.

UPDATE/Addendum:
Here's the change log desc of tweak for quicker ref:

Code: Select all

+ 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]

But why is there not a mode that separates all three elements?

Like: [Address Bar] [Toolbar] [Tabs]

You're right JC Selective blindness struck again

There is a maximum of two lines available for this so that's reason why...that would require a third line...if you want to try and petition Don for this, you're free to do so but I somewhat suspect you may not be successful as it affects a lot of the design.
