This is real cool, but looking at this, it's clear that it
doesn't look the
way tab widgets are supposed to work. In particular, of course, they should
have the proper borders around the stuff displayed. I've attached a screen
shot of a typical Windows dialog box with a tab widget in it. The problem
lies with this "expanded gutter" concept. Tabs are *NOT* extra
graphical
I think in this case the extra border would just be wasted space. The
buffer tabs are more like the tabs used to select between various
sheets in modern spreadsheets. They also do not use extra borders.
Anyone remember the text base DOS IDE's that did MDI in text mode,
wasting a character on every side of the text window, so that you
actaully had a 50x10 window to edit in?
