## Title

Max chars

Enter a maximum number of characters for the title:

- This setting limits the maximum width of a tab: i.e.: I don't want my tabs to be wider than this.
- If the setting is -1 or the title has less characters than the min, the title will be unchanged

  For example, a maximum of 5 and a title of "A" will show as "A"

- Otherwise, the text is truncated to the maximum, and an ellipsis of "..." will be added

  For example, a maximum of 5 and a title of "Maximum" will show as "Maxim..."

Min chars

Enter a minimum number of characters for the title:

- This setting generate a standard minimum width: i.e.: I want my tabs to be at least this wide.
- It works best with fixed width fonts. For other fonts, the results will be imprecise.
- If the setting is -1 or the title has more characters than the min, the title will be unchanged

  For example, a minimum of 5 and a title of "Minimum" will show as "Minimum"

- Otherwise, spaces will be padded on to the end of the title to reach the minimum.

  For example, a minimum of 5 and a title of "A" will show as "A "
