Question

Turn off text inside name tabs Indesign [GPU Preview] without turning off GPU?

The question in the subject should say it all.  I want to turn off the text  [GPU Preview] which is added behind the name of the file in the tabs above. It takes up screen space for no reason.  I can't find any answers except to just turn off GPU.  Which so far I find has no difference.  2020 Macbook pro 13 with Monteray.

The subject says nothing. Honestly, I have no idea what you're referring to. Perhaps a screenshot or two?

The tabs for each file that is open has text for the names and adds [GPU Preview] text to the name which if you have several files open, takes up space.  I just turned off GPU and everything seems as fast even though InDesign can beachball often.

I see it but it's never bothered me. I don't have huge display—only a 14" MacBook Pro—and it's really not a big deal.

 

Here are 4 tabs and it only takes up about 55% of the width of my screen:

 

Rarely do I have more than 4 files open at a time. If it bothers you, turn off the GPU:
