So to me this looks like a tabbed view with a different UI for the tabs. We've actually needed a tabbed view component for a while: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394296 > > Maybe this could be that. I think the swipe navigation is fine. However if this is going to have all the functionality of a tabbed view, it ought to //look// like a desktop-style tabbed view on the desktop platform. The different tab styling therefore has to go. On mobile, the tabs should look like desktop tabs, and on mobile, the tabs should look like mobile tabs. IMO, the affordances of a traditional tab style hint at tabs being editable. This is fairly established: Chrome uses the traditional tab style for its user-manipulatable tabs, while using a different style for non-manipulatable tabs. Firefox does the same, as well as Falkon. elementary on a platform level uses traditional tabs for manipulatable tabs and a different style for static tabs. macOS does the same thing. Using editable-style tabs when the tabs are non-editable is a misleading affordance, hence why this patch doesn't use them.
