👍 Pro Tip: Changing the Group Icon.

Groups function like mini browsers within the webdock. Each group has its own tabstrip, ensuring that your tabs stay tidy and are always organized in context.

• You can create a group consisting solely of tabs for activities like general browsing or research.
• You can group apps for specific tasks, such as finance, managing social media accounts, or doing client work.
• You can also use groups with spaces to isolate apps and tabs, e.g., to separate work from home, or for different projects or clients.

So, Wavebox groups are a bit like groups on your smartphone, and in a recent release, we introduced a new grid layout for the group icon that displays 4 apps instead of one. In this tutorial, you will learn how to customize the Group icon grid by rearranging the icons in the group tabstrip or changing back to a single app icon via settings.

1) Choose which apps to show in the group

• Click on the group
• Drag the app icons in the group tabstrip to reorder them
• The first four will always appear in the group icon.

2) Change the grid to a single app icon

• Right-click on the group to show the pop-up menu
• Click on the icon top-left (it will show the icon of the first app in the tabstrip)
• Click on 'Use a Preset' and the four icons are replaced with a single icon
• Click on the page TWICE to close both pop-overs.

3) Change the single app icon

• Drag a different icon to the first position in the tabstrip
• Right-click on the group to show the pop-up menu
• Click on the icon top-left
• Click on the 'Use a Preset' button. The group icon now shows the first app in the group
• Click on the page TWICE to close both pop-ups.

3) Revert to the grid

• Right-click on the group to show the menu
• Click on the icon top-left
• This time, click on the X button at the top-right corner of the icon editor. This removes the current selection and shows the default layout i.e. grid
• Click on the page TWICE to close the pop-overs.

4) Change the default in Settings

• Click on the cog at the bottom-left and open Settings
• (Toggle ON advanced mode, if not done already)
• In the General tab, click on Groups & Apps
• Look for the option to Use the grid view for groups containing multiple apps and toggle ON or OFF.
• Close Settings - the new default is automatically saved.
