Iconized tabs when auto-hidden

Postby rh » Sat Jul 30, 2011 1:13 am

I don't know of any other way to describe them. In the original release, I think the tab always displayed the name of the view, such as download list. Now the only name displayed is that of the last viewed list. The rest are only icons. Oh, this is only when auto-hide is enabled.

Is there an option to have it display the name when auto-hidden instead of just the icon?

Mine shows the complete tab name when I autohide a group of tabs. It's not clear to me what you're doing or seeing.

Even in the left border mine shows the full tab.

Might be worth deleting the Workspace.xml file and see if that changes it.

Yeah, it does seem to be a side-effect of that skinning. It's in the realm of possibility that's just the way it is, since AFAIK Quade doesn't exactly write all these skins - they're just calls to a widget library.
