I don't know about you guys, but I've always felt the tabs across the top were a bit large, and I personally despise horizontal scroll bars on webpages. So I spent the morning reducing the size of the tabs. I've included the images as well as PSD files for the Red and Blue tabs so that you can easily create your own for any ones that I did not create. I've only done tabs for plugins that I use myself. If you want a tab created and you cannot do it via Photoshop let me know and I'll see if I can get it made for you.

To complete this, you'll have to make a couple of changes to a couple of files as well.

top_header.php and top_graph_header.php search for where height="37" in those files and change it to 25. In the MacTrack plugin under the include folder do the same thing for top_header.php.

Each image will need to be placed in the correct folder for them to work. The default Cacti images will need to be in <cactiroot>/images the plugin images will need to go into <cactiroot>/plugins/<pluginname>/images.

I've noticed that not all plugins are supporting the RED tab yet, but I've included a RED tab for all the plugins that I use so that when they do support it, the tab is already there.

I also made one change to the BASE plugin. In base.php on the iframe line there's a width=100%. I've changed that to 100% to 1010. Otherwise if your top cacti menu is pushed off to the right, it will force the Iframe into a window that's 1024 wide, which is a perfect width for BASE.

I think that's about it. Enjoy having more tabs with less of a horizontal scroll.

Update: I have uploaded a new version of zip file. All the images are now in appropriate folders for easy unzipping directly to your Cacti Installation. I've also included modified top_header.php, top_graph_header.php files for base Cacti and MacTrack and I made a slight modification to Weathermap's setup.php file. (Howie likes to use PNG files for his images and I was trying to keep everything standard on GIF's).

I've also added more tabs that I hadn't made before. Enjoy.

Would be nice if Superlinks also supported this, eh? It would also make it easy for people to generate tabs for other plugins too...

I'll try and add it in 0.7 - should just be a case of two more template images and some tweaks to the coordinates.

Superlinks creates dynamic tabs. He will have to make adjustments to his code to produce such a tab.

Nice idea.

...but will they be smaller?

Also, I would think using DIV's and Layers it could be designed that the tags overlay each other by maybe 40% so that you can squeeze more on a page.

I read the roadmap and saw that you're working on more CSS for .89, but if you haven't looked into layering the Tabs, it might be something you want to investigate.

That's what I meant - it wouldn't be hard to get superlinks to generate two different sizes of tabs. If only there were a standard way to tell which ones you were using, like a Cacti setting.

So I was thinking that the plugin would have two sizes of image, with different sizes, and then this setting would select which to use.

I suppose it could be argued that it's all just making a silk purse out of a pigs ear, and actually the answer is a different layout...

Am I being dense or are the PSD files not in the zip?
(just looking into adding support for this into superlinks now - small tabs are neat)

No, I don't think you're dense, I think I forgot to put them in there.
