Re: [Feature Request] Change tabs style
Hello, JackPe
#1 and #2 are both flagged as long term items. The Dev team will look at them again in the future, but it has recently been decided that they will not be a development focus for some time yet.
#3 on the other hand is somewhat possible already by making use of the "title" system inherent in the PDF specification.
You can enable display of document titles instead of filenames from our preferences (Ctrl_K), under the general category: Once this is enabled, if a document has a title, it will be used instead of the filename in the tab bar.
To change a given document title, simply open that file, and look to the document properties panel (Ctrl_D), the "title" field is front and center: I hope this helps!
Kind regards,

Re: [Feature Request] Change tabs style
Thanks for his information Dan.
I'd be happy that Tab colors could be set to highlight a certain (or some certain) tabs.
I'll be patient then!
