Re: [Camino] Tabs / Moving targets

[William J Taggart]

I agree with this aspect of closing multiple tabs -- Something I do 
every day is go through MacSurfer and open many tabs for articles I'm 
interested in.  When I've gotten through all of that page, in Safari, I 
can position the cursor over the MacSurfer close tab and close it -- I 
can then go through each of the articles in turn, closing them as I 
read them, all without moving the mouse.  This isn't possible without 
both left alignment and close widget on the left.  In Camino, rather 
than use the close widget at all, I continue to use the cmd-W as I go 
through my tabs.  The widget might just as well not be there.

As for the tabs being left-aligned... no, I don't like it.  I much 
prefer Camino's current methods over Safari's.  Centre-alignment sets 
the tabs nicely apart from other screen clutter, er.. I mean 
features. :)
The point I was trying to make is not about setting one element apart 
from another but this was rather a practical aspect...

Imagine the following steps:

- Open a browser window with a bookmarked tab set (say some news sites 
you check several times a day (like I do)
- In Safari, position the mouse cursor over the close button of the 
first (and active) tab
- When you are done with the first page, close the tab, leave the 
mouse cursor where it is...

Observation: The close button of the next tab is now exactly under 
your pointer, ready to be clicked - that was my whole pro 
left-alignment argument (in combination with having that close button 
on the left and avoiding the whole tab-resizing)

I thought the current way of handling this just demands too much user 
attention - as I said, this is more than just the visual aspect for 
me.
