Feature Presets

Style presets

preset picks a ready-made look in one line. Each preset is a bundle of the existing styling options, so you can still override any of them.

Config key: preset: default | ios | material | glass | minimal | rail

type: custom:tabdeck-card
preset: ios
tabs: [ ... ]

Preset	What it sets
default	The stock look: underline, start-aligned, both. Handy in the editor to reset.
ios	segmented on a grey track, justify, 8 px radius, 36 px tabs.
material	underline, justify, elevation.
glass	pill, sticky, translucent frosted bar (color-mix background + --tabdeck-bar-backdrop: blur(12px)).
minimal	text style, labels only, dot badges.
rail	position: left, rail style, icons only.

Every preset sets the same group of keys: position, style, align, tab_display, badge_display, indicator_size, indicator_radius, elevation, sticky, bar_background, plus any preset styles variables.

Overriding

In YAML, anything you set explicitly wins over the preset, and styles are merged:

preset: glass
style: segmented                   # keep glass's frosted sticky bar, but segmented
styles:
  --tabdeck-accent: orange         # merged with glass's --tabdeck-bar-backdrop

In the visual editor

Style preset is the first field. Choosing one writes its values into the fields below (so you can see and tweak them) and swaps any preset styles variables, while keeping your own. Afterwards, editing a field simply overrides it.

New styling hook

--tabdeck-bar-backdrop sets a backdrop-filter on the bar (e.g. blur(12px)). When a sticky bar has a custom bar_background, the area behind it is now transparent, so translucent or blurred bars really show the content scrolling underneath.
