Struct Tabs 

pub struct Tabs<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A horizontal strip of titles with the tab at selected highlighted.

Unlike Table/List, Tabs is a plain Widget, not a StatefulWidget: there is no scroll offset for a tab strip, only a selected index, so it takes selected: Option<usize> directly (set via Tabs::select) rather than a ListState – the app is free to drive that index however it likes (a plain usize it owns, a FocusRing, whatever fits), the same “app- or interaction-machinery-driven, widget just reads it” division of labor as every other widget here.

Titles render left to right, column_spacing blank columns apart (default 1, matching Table::column_spacing), with an optional single-character divider (default None, i.e. no divider) centered in that spacing – set with Tabs::divider. Drawing stops once a title would start past the area’s right edge; there is no horizontal scrolling.

style and selected_style each default to the same fixed palette as Table’s row_style/selected_style; set them with Tabs::style/ Tabs::selected_style.

Implementations

impl<'a> Tabs<'a>

pub fn new(titles: &'a [&'a str]) -> Self

A tab strip over titles, with nothing selected and the default style.

pub const fn select(self, index: Option<usize>) -> Self

Select tab index (or clear the selection with None).

pub const fn style(self, style: Style) -> Self

Set the style of unselected tabs.

pub const fn selected_style(self, style: Style) -> Self

Set the style of the selected tab, including its background fill.

pub const fn column_spacing(self, spacing: u16) -> Self

Set the number of blank columns between tabs.

pub const fn divider(self, divider: Option<char>) -> Self

Set a divider character drawn within the spacing between tabs. None (the default) draws no divider – just column_spacing blank columns.

pub fn theme(self, theme: Theme) -> Self

Applies theme’s named roles to this tab strip: style becomes theme.dim (unselected tabs read as de-emphasized) on theme.panel_bg, and selected_style becomes theme.accent on theme.panel_bg.

style sets an explicit background rather than leaving it at Style::new()’s default: an unset background isn’t “transparent” once a real backend draws it (a bare Color::Default cell paints as solid black behind the glyph – see retroglyph-software’s DEFAULT_BG), so this widget assumes it’s drawn on theme.panel_bg, true when composed with a themed super::Panel/super::Modal. Drawing this tab strip directly on the raw screen background instead needs a manual .style(...) override afterwards.

Call before any manual Tabs::style/Tabs::selected_style override you want to keep.
