A nice visual effect.

The best way to get rid of tabbed tabs I've found so far. > I think that this control could be used to replace the current tabbed > arrangement, with the drawback of the tab buttons placed at the left side > taking some additional space from the track list and canvas, while our > current tabs are placed at the top of the area. Still I'd rather sacrifice few pixel of canvas area for vertically stacked tab (when collapsed) then rushing for keyboard every time I want them to disappear completely. I can collapse them (really easily) any time I want. My segment canvas will not be narrower by 150px even if I don't need to adjust segment's properties (or track's) at all. > I agree with Michael when he said that it does not solve the problem of the > vertical stacked arrangement at all.

We need the > Holy Grail Widget. I understand. Taking that I'm not pessimist... You will never achieve that! I (user) will newer salute collapsing of subproperties of collapsable properties placed in a tab (one of many tabs) of window that has versatile content, just to satisfy need of having all options visible at once. Actually, I don't think that number of that options will reduce in time -- it will just get higher. Tree click away is too much for me (take a look on notation menus). Sorry... I still think that what Amarok (or Kdevelop) has is the most elegant way to get rid of tabbed tabs. And that you should give up the idea of vertically stacked view! Add one more option and it will explode. Honestly, whatever you choose it will fit my needs... :) Cheers, Vlada > Regards, > Pedro ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
