Hi, I am confused. As far as I can see ppl just want to be able to do some cosmetic adjustments to the appearance of the tabs - mostly shape and position. BTW, what about tabs on sides (for landscape layout maybe)? We don't care about functionality (OK, "business logic"), radio-buttons behavior and switching content will do just fine :) So, why was it so hard for the Android Team to give us this ability (cosmetic adjustments) in the first place? And next about nEx.Software code. Can I somehow replace TabWidget only in the original TabHost?
