flextabs v0.3.0

New

• Built-in icon set, IconManager.get_builtin_icon(), render(), register_icon() and builtin_names()
• Themes: theme= argument, set_theme(), Palette, LIGHT, DARK, apply_app_theme() and apply_fonts()
• close_button_style="button" with close and lock glyphs on tabs
• get_tab_index(), enable_dpi_awareness(), the flextabs-demo command and type information (py.typed)

Changed (check these when upgrading)

• Python 3.15 or newer is required
• The default look is now the flat "auto" theme; pass theme=None for the previous plain ttk look
• Tabs without an icon no longer get a fallback icon by default (use_fallback_icons and use_notebook_fallback_icons are now False); fallback icons map to built-in icon names, and IconManager.get_fallback_text() returns an icon name
• Icons are classified as image files by path separator or image extension rather than by length
• Tabs that are not closable no longer get a • prefix or grey styling
• Sidebar: default width is 180 (was 150) and the title is shown at the top
• Themed opener buttons use the ttk selected state for the selected tab and alternate for open tabs; the plain look still marks open tabs with selected
• get_current_tab() reads the notebook's live selection
• Destroying the manager runs every open tab's cleanup() and does not call the on_tab_* callbacks
• Errors are logged with logging instead of printed
• ToastNotification.COLORS only lists the status accent colours; toasts take their colours from the palette
• TooltipWidget uses TkDefaultFont and wraps at 280 pixels by default

Fixed

• Shortcuts no longer replace your app's bindings or each other, and removed tabs lose theirs
• Selecting tabs after they were reordered, image icons with more than one Tk root, menus with dict icons, the menu opener leaving menus behind, callback errors failing open_tab()/close_tab(), and several smaller issues

Install: pip install flextabs==0.3.0 (requires Python 3.15+)

Documentation update.

Initial Release

This is the first release (v0.1.0) of the flextabs Python package, a flexible and extensible tab manager widget for tkinter applications built on top of ttk.Notebook. While ttk.Notebook provides the basic tab interface, FlexTabs extends it with multiple tab opening mechanisms (toolbar, sidebar, menu), advanced tab management features, and customizable behavior options.
