DesktopScintillaControlMBS.TabMinimumWidth as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Scintilla	MBS Scintilla Plugin	22.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop only

The minimum size of a tab in pixels to ensure that the tab can be seen.

The default value is 2. This is particularly useful with proportional fonts with fractional widths where the character before the tab may end a fraction of a pixel before a tab stop, causing the tab to only be a fraction of a pixel wide without this setting. Where displaying a miniaturized version of the document, setting this to 0 may make the miniaturized version lay out more like the normal size version.

DesktopScintillaControlMBS.Technology as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Scintilla	MBS Scintilla Plugin	22.0	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	Desktop only

The technology property allows choosing between different drawing APIs and options.

On most platforms, the only choice is kTechnologyDefault (0). On Windows Vista or later, kTechnologyDirectWrite (1), kTechnologyDirectWriteRetain (2), or kTechnologyDirectWriteDC (3) can be chosen to use the Direct2D and DirectWrite APIs for higher quality antialiased drawing. kTechnologyDirectWriteRetain differs from kTechnologyDirectWrite by requesting that the frame is retained after being presented which may prevent drawing failures on some cards and drivers. kTechnologyDirectWriteDC differs from kTechnologyDirectWrite by using DirectWrite to draw into a GDI DC.
On Win32, buffered drawing is set to a reasonable value for the technology: on for GDI and off for Direct2D as Direct2D performs its own buffering. This can be changed after setting technology with BufferDraw property.
When using DirectWrite, you can use FontLocale to set an appropriate font locale to draw text with expected language-dependent glyphs.
