Tab-related options
Tabs appear right below toolbar icons; they give you quick access to currently opened windows.
First set of choices
Let DC++ draw tabs: Select this option to let DC++ draw tabs, which allows it to add more
customization (such as a close button, different colors and fonts, etc). (default)
Use standard Windows tabs: Select this option to use standard Windows tabs - DC++ won't be able to
customize them.
DC++ needs to be restarted for this setting to take effect.
Second and third sets of choices
Several modes are exposed here with various differences; select the one you prefer.
One particular difference is that in tab style mode, multiline tabs re-organize so that the
selected tab is always at the bottom. That isn't the case in button style mode.
DC++ needs to be restarted for this setting to take effect.
Tab width
Use this slider to define the width occupied by each tab. Move to the left for a lower width, and
to the right for a higher width.
When the title of a tab exceeds the available width, it will be cut accordingly and appended with
"...".
DC++ needs to be restarted for this setting to take effect.
Preview
This fake tab control shows how the main tab control would display after a restart of DC++, were
the settings defined above be validated.
