  • Theme background style New in version 1.28
    When using a theme with a background image, the image height may not match the tab-bar height, especially with multi-row tabs. This option allows you to adjust the background style to fit the tab-bar height. You can choose from the following options:
    • Repeat: Repeats the background image to cover the entire tab bar height.
    • Cover: Scales the background image to cover the entire tab bar height, while maintaining its aspect ratio.
    • Theme Default: Uses the default background style set by the theme.
