Features
  • Tabs are placed at the right side of the Tabbed Panel and the labels are replaced by icons (to minimize screen space used)
  • The user can modify the tab panel's width for each tab independently
  • When clicking on a tab, its content is shown and resized to its own defined width
  • When clicking again on an already selected tab, the Tab panel minimizes itself hiding its content but tabs stay visible to show their content easily
  • To return to the standard TabbedPanel layout, execute the menu command again
    • Edo Tools->TabbedPanelMod->Tabbed panel mod

Additional information
  • the icons used for the tabs are placed in
    • Icons->User icons->TabbedPanelMod->...
  • the script selects the icon for the tab using this logic:
    • if there is an icon that is named equal than the tab's label text, then: use it
    • else: use the icon that is named as the tabs number
      • starting with 0
      • the first 4 (00.svg to 03.svg) are used for the standard tabs in Freeplane
  • if another add-on or script creates an additional tab, you can add an icon for it
    • for example, using the devtools addon
    • or adding it manually in the user directory
      • <userdirectory>/icons/tabbedPanelMod/
    • for its name you have to consider the logic explained in the previous point.
