Locked tabs whith a background color

Post by *Wally_GER »

Currently, the locked tabs are marked with an asterisk. The asterisk can also be removed, I know. But it would be nice if I could determine the background color of the locked tabs myself, for example. This way, I save myself a character in the tab line.

There will be a conflict with the ActiveTabColor key.
To avoid it, in TwinKey this is done in the form of stripes on the left, right or bottom (underline).

You can set the color of tabs manually for now. Yes, not very convenient if often act this.

If there would be the rule added in Auto Switch Mode for Locked Tabs (like there is e.g. "Search result" rule), the locked tabs could be automatically colored by user defined color. But it would be not suitable for everyone as Fla$her said if there is color of tab set manually by user. I would prefer to mark the lock tabs with little sign (strip or triangle in left corner of tab), so not to take up the space and not to impair readability of tab title.
