                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-342
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wtk
            Reporter: Sandro Martini
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.0


Add some enhancements to Tabs, to have them appear like in modern Browsers (and 
other tools, like Eclipse):

- I've seen that there is the ability to put them on top, or at left using the 
orientation attribute, but not on bottom and on the right
side, we could add an attribute like position instead

- closing a tab, I've seen that there is the attribute, but no sample of it :-) 
. 
  Could be interesting to specify also the type of closure (when enabled), like 
the cross to the right of any (closeable) tab, or like in some applications 
only one close button at the right corner where tabs are placed

- have tabs using more than 1 line
  Could be done using a config option ... by default off.

- when I have more Tabs than the available space, will it be possible to 
specify what to do ? 
  Like choosing to rearrange them in more than 1 line (as in Substance), or 
make a button and open a popup with the list of others (like in Eclipse), or at 
left and right corner draw two buttons with arrows to scroll them in the 
available space or ...

On Tabs that's all ... but probably some of these features could be useful also 
for other components (accordions, popup, menus, etc ...) when I have more 
elements than the available space.


Note that the current behavior on Tabs (Pivot 1.3 and upper) is to display left 
and right arrows when there are too many tabs to fit in the available space.
