Ability to change the locked tabs colours and fonts

See this setting. This addition would be nice to distinguish between the locked and unlocked tabs.

And what exactly it is that you are proposing?

Except for colors / fonts used personally by me, I do not see a difference between Settings present in my menu and those visible on your screenshot

Colours for locked and unlocked tabs as I've mentioned in the post. Currently there's no option to distinguish between unlocked and locked tabs.

For now, the closest workaround you can achieve is to use a block character like

Code: Select all

for the option of

Tools > Settings > View > Folder > Folder Tabs > Tab Management > Mark locked tabs with this character

Another possible workaround, I'm using too:

Use (big) icons for tabs, then assign a custom icon for locked tabs, other - unlocked tabs will use a simple "folder" icon, so it's easy to distinguish them.

It's working if you're using the same locked tabs, not if you lock/unlock the tabs often.

Alternative option, which would not disrupt the color schemes, could be the custom icon for all locked tabs, or for all unlocked tabs - rest would be standard/other custom icons.

If this were to be implemented, then maybe all together with ability to mark adherence to a Tab Group - a new ability I proposed in point #7 of this post of mine: viewtopic.php?t=13824
