Ty Wakefield (ID: 0000007b14ec3eae) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/31/2018 Its good but it needs more work you should be able to upload an image file for the background and you should be able to make the tabs transparent or something lighter so you can see the picture more clearly, you should also be able to name the tabs too so instead of just the image for the tab it has a name so you know exactly what your clicking on.
