Tab Display Customization

VertiTab provides various options to customize how tabs appear in the sidebar. You can modify these visual settings to match your preferences and workflow needs.

Accessing Settings

Open VertiTab settings
Go to Tab Settings > Tabs
Configure the available display options

Show Full URL

Shows the complete website address below tab titles. Helps identify tabs with similar titles.

Hide Tab Icons

Removes website favicons from tab display. Creates a cleaner, text-only appearance.

Use Color Dots Instead of Icons

Replaces favicons with colored dots based on website URL. Provides visual distinction while maintaining minimal design.

Show Thumbnails in Preview

Displays tab screenshots when hovering over tabs. Requires additional permissions for tab capture.

Note: May be denied if permissions are not granted.

Show Tab Index

Displays numbers next to tab titles (1, 2, 3…). Enables quick navigation using Ctrl+Number (Windows) or Cmd+Number (Mac).

Example: “1. stackoverflow.com 2. youtube” allows Ctrl+2 to switch to YouTube.

Tab Title Maximum Lines

Sets how many lines tab titles can span. Longer titles get truncated beyond the limit. Helps maintain consistent tab heights.

Suspended Tab Opacity

Controls transparency level of hibernated/suspended tabs. Slider from 10% to 100% opacity. Visual indicator to distinguish active from suspended tabs.

Suspended Tab Prefix

Adds a custom prefix symbol to suspended tab titles. 1-5 character limit.

Examples: ”💤”, ”⏸”, “[S]”. Helps quickly identify suspended tabs.

Use Cases

Minimalist Design: Hide icons and use color dots for clean appearance
Information Rich: Show URLs and indices for detailed tab information
Performance Focus: Use suspended tab indicators to manage memory usage
Quick Navigation: Enable tab indices for keyboard shortcuts

These customization options allow you to create a personalized tab management experience that suits your specific needs and preferences.
