I installed this and getting:

/admincp/etab.php

Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

EDIT:
The attachment has the folder "adminCP" <-- should be admincp .. the caps creates a whole new map.

EDIT 2:
Saving a tab name gives me:

Could not find phrase 'SUCCES!'.

EDIT 3:
As your screenshot, when adding multiple links to the navbar. The first link uses up some space over the other links you'll add.. Possible this can align all perfectly?

EDIT 4:
Possible more tabs can be created with this plugin?

Is it possible to require that a link opens in a new window / new tab (depending on browser) / existing window ?

Thanks

oh you want to control if the links open in same window, parent or new ?
gonna add it to the todo's good idea, relative simple to implement.

Something I've seen on some other mods that do similar things would be allowing you to specify a user group that the links show to, per link.

Anyway, nice stuff. =)
