Better CtrlTab Panel. Add a possibility to change font, margins and border radius.

[solonar96]

For now this mod is really well customizable, but I think it would be great to have a few points of customization more:

1. Font. I mean, it allows you to change the font size, but I could not change the font family or even a font weight (which is bold by default). And it is a bit annoying, cause it doesn't change even when I change the ui font in Zen.
2. Margins. It would be great if it could be possible to change margins of the text and icon. Or, for example, line height of text and icon margins. Because I couldn't change it even playing with zoom or font size.
3. Same border radius. The upper side of tab has its own border radius, so when I change Corners Roundness it changes only bottom ones. Here is the example:

Great ideas! I'll look into it.

Hi @solonar96

1. Added family and weight. How do you change the UI font in Zen?
   2 & 3. This should be possible, there is something wrong, will look into it.

Hello @psu

Thank you for your fast response!

1. To change UI font you should use custom .css. I don't like it a lot, so now I don't use it.
2. Thanks a lot for consider. Would like to see future updates!

A new version of the mod is now uploaded and should be available in the store soon. Adding customization options for fonts (along other things) and fixing the padding issue.

Thanks a lot, will test ASAP!

EDIT: Zen mod store still didn't update the Better Ctrl+Tab Panel, so I'll test it as soon as it updates.

I would like to notify that the mod is not updating in Zen Mods Store (first image).

It shows that the last update was in may 2025. Is it possible to connect with Zen team to update it in their store? Or is it possible to manually update the mod?

Thanks in advance!

Updating. I just copied the files in repository to the chrome/zen-themes/72f8f48d-86b9-4487-acea-eb4977b18f21 folder and the changes applied. But now the panel looks like this:

The container is fixed (and I don't know why). The amount of tabs doesn't change the width, the "max-width" parameter neither. I tried to play with vertical positioning (it doesn't change anything at all), font size, font weight, border width and border radius parameters, but it didn't work.

Then I tried to update the mod in zen settings, but it didn't change anything. So I just deleted the mod and installed it from zen mods store another time and it is ok.

Looking forward a new changes and any news. Thanks for your time!

yeah zen store updates have a bit of a delay. your method should work in the meantime i guess, i can't tell what went wrong.
i assume you copied the .json file as well, and the new preference options showed up?

let me test it on a fresh install to verify that it looks right.
