Description William Jon McCann 2014-01-24 14:47:20 UTC 
Centered tab labels work better when the tabs are set to expand.

-  gtk_misc_set_alignment (GTK_MISC (label), 0.0, 0.5);
+  gtk_widget_set_halign (label, GTK_ALIGN_CENTER);
+  gtk_widget_set_halign (label, GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE);

halign twice?

Also, I disagree about it 'working better', it's quite the opposite actually, IHMO. I'd rather fix the tabbing widget look itself, bug 720323.

The tabs style has been enhanced to better support reorderable tabs. Is it more to your liking? But really this is an orthogonal issue. Could we please get this patch in so that terminal has tabs that are consistent with our other core applications?

Ping? This is not related to the themeing of the tabs.
Comment 6 Debarshi Ray 2014-02-13 17:39:31 UTC 
Thanks Behdad!

Hi William, Debarshi,

Could make this feature configurable through terminal CSS or theme XML file?

There are some themes that left aligned the window title, but the tab label is centered. It's very discordant, so I hope you can make this configurable to have a better Gnome interface.

Thanks.
Comment 8 Christian Persch 2016-05-08 08:59:37 UTC 
AFAIK this is not configurable via CSS.
