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..."

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    "
