Switch back o to old style tabs (Tabs are big now)

Hi.

How can i switch back to old tab style/design.. 

after latest stable update, tabs are kinds huge and not feeling that compact. is their any way to switch back to old style..?!

Thank you

  • Thanks for sharing the issue!

    After some quick searching around, there is a new option in the "Appearance" settings in Edge that has a thing called "Touch Mode".

    Click the drop down from "Automatic" to "disabled" and it should fix the issue!

    I am sure this update was more geared for Tablet users!

    Anyways, have a wonderful day!

    God bless,

    Shawn

      Deleted Thank you for the response..
      but i think the option is "Touch Mode" (Not sure why you have Taticle Mode, or is it just typo mistake.. i have touch mode in both dev and stable build...  but anyway, it gave me idea where to look exactly)..
      Disabling touch mode fixed the issue for me.. returned to previous tab style..
      Again thanks..

      Hello, thanks for the advice, the tabs have returned to their previous state. However, there is still one but. The tab close button is now shifted to the very edge of the tab. It seems to me that this is a design violation / bug.
