:+1: > Thoughts? I think I like this. Usually, I don't use the sidebar tabs a lot since I basically just need the Symbols tab. The other ones are often hard to reach because of the need of scrolling. So vertical tabs would help me actually and nowadays we usually have more space in width than in height :). > The result would look something like this: Here: <img width="304" height="328" alt="Screenshot_2025-08-03_15-21-25" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c3d0c2b-9db0-476b-815b-7cef7f818803"; /> My theme (it's called "Red-On-Black", I think I downloaded it from somewhere and modified it, so don't consider it as a reference :D), seems to use some extra spacing. So, being able to tweak this using CSS would be great. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/4388#issuecomment-3148424218 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
