# Description of the new feature/enhancement

Can we have an option for always hidden tabs, I don't want to waste space while using 13/14" laptop.
Current tabs can be displayed in window title bar, like wezterm, when you are hiding the tabs.
Screenshot with suggestion is attached!
Thank you!

Research direction

Start by locating the existing tab visibility and window title-bar UI in the Windows Terminal codebase; the issue names no files or tests. Review how hidden tabs are currently configured, then define the always-hidden option and verify that tabs can still be represented in the title bar as shown in the attached screenshot.
