Adding Font Awesome to Individual Binder Tabs

If you prefer not to add the same Font Awesome icon to all the Binder Tabs, but prefer to assign unique icons to each individual tab then do not select “Font Awesome On” in the customization options, but rather manually install Font Awesome and insert into the Binder Tabs manually (the next 2 steps).

Step 1. Install Font Awesome as outline in this tutorial.

Step 2. For step 5 place the HTML code inside the Binder Tabs text.

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!
