- Slick design

Minimum requirements
- We recommend at least to have 1280x720 screen resolution for better experience

Other Features
- Toggle NSFW backgrounds
- Background cropping
- Storage used report
- Customizable shortcuts layout
- Customizable shortcuts size

FAQ:
- If it's 2.0, then where's the 1.0?
I built the Tab Customizer 1.0 when I'm relatively new to web development. It kinda messy and ugly, so I won't publish it. You can contact me tho if you really want to see it.
- Is there a feature where I can make one of the backgrounds become absolute background?
Unfortunately, not yet. But in the future I'll probably be working on it.

Gd Gd (ID: 000000119e0cadab) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2022 Hope folders can be created to contain shortcuts. Also provide the feature to export shortcut data for migration. P.S. Now the wallpapers seem to be aligned to top? Can you add an option to align them to the center? So the center part of some tall wallpapers can be properly displayed.
