Where can I get these fancy looking tabs?

2- If you only want a simple tabline (which, just display TABS ) with a little touch, with some icons per filetype, nothing extravagant. So then you have https://github.com/alvarosevilla95/luatab.nvim (which is my personal recommendation)
Is there a plugin that customizes the command line area? And is there any way to customize the tab without plugins? I enabled the tab natively with vim.o.showtabline = 2. thx

https://github.com/alvarosevilla95/luatab.nvim is a plugin for the tabline, but it's interesting because, as it says in the readme, it's "just a lua rewrite of the tabline render function". IOW, it's not a complete tabline plugin, but rather a plugin that enables you to configure your tabline easier, using lua.

I believe this plugin is for tabs only.
