[Suggestion] Show icons on small tabs - GrayFace - 10-25-2017

Cent, like Chrome, stops showing icons on tabs if there are many tabs open, even if there's more than enough space to do so (I use square tabs). There's no reason to do so. On FireFox with a custom style I made icons always visible, even if tabs are 5px wide. This makes tabs bar usable with 100+ tabs.
Another thing I did: I made loaded tabs a bit wider, so I have a swarm of tiny unloaded tabs and a number of loaded ones (that is, ones I visited since starting the browser) which are 5px wider.

Not quite understand.
The tab icon is at least 16px wide.
How can we show it in a 5px tab?
Should we show part of the icon image like Vivaldi?

If you always open a lot of tabs, you can enable the option "Tab options"->"Minimum tab width(px)" and use Alt+X to show "Tab List Menu".

Yes, here's a screenshot of some of my FireFox tabs: [Image: screenshot.187a.png?dl=1]
It turns out Cent's minimal tab width is always bigger than 16px, because it's the same for tabs with or without slopes. Weirdly, this actually results in tabs with slopes being more compact. If there are too many tabs to fit, they overflow the tab bar like with "Minimum tab width(px)" option, but the tab list menu isn't shown.

Wow, that multi-column list is perfect! It's good that it will be always available with a gesture/shortcut in future versions. Looks like it even indicates not yet loaded tabs with italic font, although that's not as visible as color indication.
I am very impressed with Cent. The only problem left from Chrome's basic UI is Ctrl+Tab not going in recently-used order. Also, maybe I'll actually like wide tabs more than thin ones in the end.

We have Alt+Z to switch to last visited tab, but it can only switch between two tabs, not for "visited tabs list".
