New Plugin: TabBar Utilities

This plugin offers two options for customizing your tabbar. The first one is for replacing the center tab with a custom image that is larger than the rest, extending above the height of the tabbar. (See screenshot 1). The second option is for a scrollable tabbar (see screenshot 2 and 3). With the second option, an optional background image can be applied. Also, each tab can have a different highlighted color when it is selected.

To expand a little more: The beauty of this plugin is that it makes changes to the core when it loads, then kills itself leaving the rest of the app to use as normal.

So does it have to be set as the home screen, and it loads another screen? Jake
