Description

Enhancement Summary

I'd like to be able to "maximize" all of the tabs that appear on the left side of the screen. My Projects, My Samples, My Presets, etc.

Justification

The icons only show up as icons until clicked, and I constantly find myself clicking through them to remember which is which. Having an option to have the titles always displayed would be useful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the UI tabs implementation (likely in Qt) and add an option to display labels persistently. Refer to the mockup for expected behavior. Look for how other UI elements are configured.
