Only One Close Button

Updated 2006-02-07 CET
    * Use a better method in the code to make the toolbar button available

This extension has several purposes. The first is to get rid of the close buttons on all tabs. The second is to make the tab width more flexible; instead of a fixed width they will scale, so that there will first be overflow with many tabs open. The third is to make a close button available as a toolbar button.

Undo Tab Close

Removed 2006-10-19 CEST
    * Too buggy

This extension is too buggy and have as such been removed. See Epiphany bugs #355519 and #351709 for more information.


Middle Click Tab Close

Added 2006-06-28 CEST

Close tabs by clicking on them with the middle mouse button. Also disables switching between tabs by scrolling over the tab bar with a mouse scroll wheel.

Known issue: This extension doesn't support middle click close with Epiphany 2.20 and/or GTK+ 2.12.


Simple Tab Close Focus (Was: Simple Tab Switch Focus)

Updated 2006-06-28 CEST
    * Works better with new extension, "Middle Click Tab Close"

A simpler way to choose which tab to focus after closing another. The default in Epiphany is to fucus the last focused tab. With this extension, it will focus the tab to the right of the closed tab (if any; if not, it will focus the tab to the left).


Simple Tab Close Focus Reversed

Updated 2006-06-28 CEST
    * Works better with new extension, "Middle Click Tab Close"

Another simpler way to choose which tab to focus after closing another. The default in Epiphany is to fucus the last focused tab. With this extension, it will focus the tab to the left of the closed tab (if any; if not, it will focus the tab to the right).

This extension is almost the same as the Simple Tab Close Focus extension, except that its behaviour is reversed.


Less Tab Label Border

Added 2006-06-24 CEST

Less border around tab labels. Sets the border to 1 pixel.


Menubar and Toolbar beside each other

Added 2006-06-24 CEST

Put the menubar and toolbar beside each other. There are some issues with customizing toolbars while in this mode; deactivate this extension when you want to do that.


Tab Key Tab Navigate

Added 2006-06-24 CEST

Use the tab key (Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab) to navigate between tabs.
