Changing position of Tabs

cleanTabs positions Tabs to the left by default and there is currently no support for justification (width auto / percentage widths) or right alignment. You can adjust there positions though by pushing the first tab over – the other tabs will adjust accordingly. To do so use the following code in your Page Info > Header > CSS section.

1
2
3
#tab-container ul.etabs li.tab {
     margin-left: 20px;
}

You can, of course, adjust the 20px to any value that achieves the visual layout you are looking for.

Transparent Background for Theme 1

The 2.3.0 Update provides a downloadable snippet file, though you can alternatively add the code manually.

1
2
ul.etabs li.tab {background: transparent !important;}
.panel-container {background: transparent !important;}

Line 1 controls transparency to the tabs and line 2 controls transparency to the content area contained below the tabs (should you want to turn one off/on and not both).

Adding & Removing Tabs

After creating a cleanTabs section simply select (left click) the section and in the customization section on the right-hand side drag the slider called “Tab Count” left or right. By default cleanTabs is set to 4 tabs, though it can be reduced to 1 tab or increased all the way up to 12 tabs (version 2.3.0 allows for up to 20 tabs).

Adding Images to Tabs

You can manually drag images into the tab sections or you can use a web font, such as Font Awesome, which is demonstrated on the preview page (top left green tab preview).

Movable Windows

Move beyond the confines of static content layouts! Movable Windows allows your page visitors to effortlessly drag and reposition custom content windows anywhere in the browser viewport. Windows can be minimized to free up space and stay fixed to the browser viewport so they are always accessible.

Resize & Minimize

Windows can be resized to take up more or less space, or maximized to fill the entire screen. But that’s not all – these windows are like handy sidekicks, always ready to assist. Need quick reference? No problem! Windows can be minimized when not in use, saving precious screen space for what really matters – your page content.

Inline

Open windows stay fixed on screen so they are always accessible. Minimized windows have three modes to choose from. “Inline” keeps it in line with other content, “Fixed” is always on screen, and “Draggable” lets you move it around while minimized.

Customizable

It’s not just about functionality; it’s about style too. Customize your windows by size, position, and color. Add in text, images, forms, links – you name it! Want a little more flair? Allow window resizing, choose whether they start minimized or open, change the toggle icon, or hide the window title when minimized.

Check it out!
