For disabling the other tabs, you can edit these settings under 
`Edit->Preferences->Various`:

For hiding the message window tabs altogether (ie. to hide the lone tab for 
"Terminal") you could either patch Geany to add an option, make a plugin to do 
it, or you could use CSS to somewhat okay effect - it would be a lot easier if 
#2469 gets merged - probably something like:

```css
#notebook_info tab {
  padding: 0px;
  font-size: 0.1em;
  border-width: 0px;
}
```

I don't think GTK+ CSS has a thing like `display: none;` or changing the size 
like real CSS, but above makes the tabs pretty small here. Someone with more 
GTK+ theming skills could probably find a better way.

I doubt anyone would oppose a pull request to add a preference to hide message 
window tabs entirely.
