How to reduce tab width and get rid of this number and x symbol?

[eggbean]

Since I updated by config since an update (which caused deprecation warnings that drove me insane) I have three issues which I didn't have before and I have not been able to figure out how to remove them.

• Tab width - how do I reduce the tab width padding on either side of the buffer names by two or three characters?
• How do I remove the buffer number that is appearing on the active buffer?
• How do I get rid of the x character that sometimes appears (seen on the middle tab)?

@Iron-E this is why I'm apprehensive about breaking changes & warnings. We should be more conservative about pushing those, ideally only in big batches so users can be disrupted once and be done with it.

@eggbean Can you share your barbar config?

IIRC, all the newest deprecations were proposed in #394 and implemented within roughly the span of a week. There are more in the pipeline (e.g. bufferline → barbar), but they have been saved in order to be bundled together

We also have #410 but no work has been done (yet!)

@eggbean what is your config now? What was it before migrating to the new settings schema?

Edit: this may be a resumation of #406

Closing for now, feel free to reopen!

Oh, sorry I forgot to reply all that time ago. I got very frustrated with the errors so I had to disable barbar for a while and then I eventually got it fixed by getting ChatGPT to sort it out. Cheers.
