Hi, I prefer the previous Tab system (FTPro). Can we have it back, or a preference to select either option, please?

Thanks

Yes! Albeit a bit outdated, I also prefer these classic tabs…

To revert to the previous tabs, quit FoxTrot Pro then copy and paste the following command to a Terminal.app window:

defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotPro TabStyle Card

To restore the modern tabs:

defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrotPro TabStyle
