✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 378 endorsements and over 21k downloads
- Deep customization: rename tabs, pick from 50+ icons, adjust placement and count
- Save compatible, so you won't lose progress when installing
⚠️ Cons
- Requires two separate mod dependencies, so setup is more involved than a simple drop-in
- No screenshots in the description beyond the two linked images, so you can't fully preview the look
- Potential compatibility risk with other UI mods that alter the same interface elements
For X4 players who want to tailor their UI to their playstyle, especially those managing multiple fleets or stations and needing quick access to different menus. If you're happy with the default tabs or don't want to deal with extra dependencies, skip this one.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install both required mods first, then Custom tabs, and activate them in the extension manager
- Use the in-game UI to rename tabs and assign icons—no file editing needed
- If you use other UI mods, test them together in a new save to avoid conflicts
