Your new tab layout
The same page, arranged seven ways. Your shortcuts and widgets stay the same from one layout to the next: only their place changes, and one click takes you back.
All 7 layouts, in pictures
-
Dock
Sapphire Nebula The Essentials in a bar at the bottom of the page, as on a Mac. It is the layout of a fresh install.
-
Classic
Northern Lights Everything in the center: clock, search, Essentials and folders, with widgets on the sides.
-
Dashboard
Giraffe Fur The clock and widgets lined up in a left column, shortcuts and folders on the right.
-
Columns
Malachite Each folder becomes a column of links you read without opening it.
-
Arc
Orion Nebula Folders set on a curve, under the clock and the Essentials.
-
Widgets first
Lagoon Gradient The page belongs to widgets: daily goal, calendar, tasks and timer, folders as tags.
-
Bento
Black Chrome Everything in one grid of tiles, clock, folders and widgets together.
Settings that follow along
Each layout only offers the settings that do something in it: no folder preview size where folders have no preview. On a narrow screen, Dashboard falls back to Classic by itself.
Free or Premium
Dock and Classic, with the free widgets wherever you like.
the five extra templates. Without Premium, a chosen template stays saved and the page falls back to Classic.
