} One idea that comes to mind is something like this (image flipped 90 } degrees clockwise to save space): } } _____________________________ } / xterm 1 | xterm 2 | xterm 3 | } ------------------------------| } | } } ie. only the lowest has the triangular edge we know and love. } Someone could probably do a mockup picture easily (I would do it } now if I wasn't so dead tired. If someone doesn't beat me to it, expect } one later today or tomorrow) Here are some very cheap mockups of such a tabbing feature. They differ in handling the tab(s) button(s). It's another concern: how would you tell which window in the stack was currently active (see first picture)? wmx doesn't have the active/inactive colors of pwm per se. In the second picture, each tab has its own button so its easy to see which tab is focused. I don't know, however, if this is elegant or not. It looks choppy. In the third picture, only the focused window has its button, and the rest do not. This looks nicer, I think. } 2) The window switching operations. Both the right mouse button and } Alt-Tab (or equivalent) currently switch between windows? How would one } switch between tabs on a keyboard? Maybe alt-tab could do everything, or else just find another alt-key binding. } How would one attach a new tab to an existing window? Perhaps in a similar manner that window grouping is done? -- An Thi-Nguyen Le |If you analyse anything, you destroy it. | -- Arthur Miller
