Changelog

0.1.33

More personal.
More readable.

Tabs are easier to tell apart, visual preferences live in one clear place, and every label can be made easier to read. Keyboard control, performance, and setup received a careful pass too.

New Improved Fixed

Three ways to color your tabs.

Colored dotA compact color cue that keeps every tab surface quiet.
Three SADFinder tabs open for Brand Assets, Campaigns, and Product Screens, each marked with a different colored dot
02
UnderlineA clear color line gives each open location its own identity.
