Hi Iannis, As far as I know that is not possible.
If you have a look at the shadow tiddler $:/core/ui/SideBarLists you will find therein: <<tabs "[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/SideBar]!has[draft.of]]" "$:/core/ui/SideBar/Open" "$:/state/tab/sidebar">> So the default tab to open is the More tab. *But* the state of the tabs is held in a tiddler $:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512. E.g. if the Recent tab is selected the tiddler $:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512 contains $:/core/ui/SideBar/Recent If you save your TW the state of the - at that moment active - tab is saved in $:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512 So you edited for example a tiddler while the Tools tab was selected. Upon save the $:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512 tiddler will contain $:/core/ui/SideBar/Tools. When reloading the TW the Tools tab will be selected. Only if you delete the tiddler $:/state/tab/sidebar--1835078512 the default tab More will become active again. Summarized: 1) With an "undefined" state the default tab is given by the tabs macro in $:/core/ui/SideBarLists (you can change $:/core/ui/SideBar/Open to $:/core/ui/SideBar/Contents to make Contents the default). 2) When reloading the TW the tab selected during the last Save will be opened. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ton On Saturday, October 4, 2014 1:32:45 PM UTC+2, iani wrote: > > > Hello, > > I am trying to customize the menu tabs of the sidebar. I added an item > "Contents".
