Tabs: The friend of 1024x768

USP2 now supports having tabs! These are extremely useful if you have a laptop or some other low resolution display.

Details

Tabs are made in the plugins list in USP Configuration. All you have to do is add an entry with value "newtab" (without the quotes) into the plugins list where you would like a tab to start. To name the tab, make the value like this: "newtab=what-ever-you-want" (without the quotes). To see it in action: Screenshot-USP - Configuration Which gives: Screenshot-System Panel

Also, tabs now have the ability to have icons along with (or instead of) their titles. This is done by putting the icon name in square brackets '[ ]' either before or after the text. For example: newtab=Standard Plugins[gnome-settings.png] <some plugins and newpanes here> newtab=[add.png]Extra/Add-On Plugins <some plugins and newpanes here> newtab=Internet <some plugins and newpanes here> newtab=[tux] <some plugins and newpanes here> Would give this.

If you just use 'newtab', without any name, the tab will be given a number. Also, full paths to icons can be used too. For example, this is perfectly valid: newtab=Extra/Add-On Plugins[/home/dave/add.png]

You can now optionally assign a "hotkey" to switch tabs by adding the key combination in curly brackets '{ }' in the newtab definition, i.e.

newtab=Extra/Add-On Plugins[/home/dave/add.png]{<Shift><Super>E} would assign Shift Key + Windows Key + E to that tab.
