Show status indicators

Select this option to display the colored status indicators on the tabs.

Width of status indicators

Enter your preferred width for the status indicators (from one to ten pixels).

Minimum tab width

Enter the minimum width of your  tabs. Since SecureCRT will try to shrink multiple tabs to fit in one window, this option can be useful to keep your tabs readable. This option can be set from 20 to 300 pixels.  .

Note: If your tab name is too long for the space available, SecureCRT will truncate the name; however, you can view the full name in a tooltip by hovering your pointer over the tab name.

This option allows you to choose the action taken when you double-click on a tab.

Confirm when closing multiple tabs

Select this option to only have tabs displayed when there are multiple tabs.
