<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I always recommend to get in contact with the maintainers of an application _before_ investigating so much work into a new feature. In this case I'm very sorry to say that this cannot get pushed because of the following reasons:
- I'm unable to maintain this code as I don't do any Dolphin development on Windows (and cannot do it because of having limited time)
- I'd like to keep platform dependent code in Dolphin as minimal as possible
- For the 4.9 release of the KDE applications (= Dolphin 2.1) a long overdue cleanup of DolphinMainWindow will be done (separated code for tabs etc) and I won't be able to refactor this platform specific code :-(</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I think that we would also maintain this code part as we already do for other parts in KDE, so you normally shouldn't need to work on that.
It would be nice if you could let us participate in the refactoring process for 4.9 so that we can adapt this patch early & according to your wishes.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Add Windows 7 tab thumbnails feature to dolphin.
Mostly based on the example from <http://nicug.blogspot.com/2011/03/windows-7-taskbar-extensions-in-qt-tab.html>.
An icon representation is used instead of actual thumbnails ( please agree that those microscopic previews are not useful at all ;] ). Changing an icon when url changes is also easier than checking all the time whether something inside the window has been changed. Using icons is a lot more KDE-ish and therefore more beautiful and user-friendly than the default Windows behavior ;).
"win7utils.h" and "win7utils.cpp" are from <https://github.com/xfreebird/blogstuff/tree/master/qt/thumbnailtabs_example1> with few adaptations.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Tested using MSVC 2010 32 bit, in a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
May need testing:
- Compiling under mingw-w32 and mingw-w64
- Using Windows Vista or below to ensure there are no side-efects on a box without this feature.
- Using Windows 8 (I don't know much about its bugs^H^H^H^Hfeatures ;] )
Known problems:
- There is no way to know if KTabBar got a tab reordered, so the "thumbnails" won't be reordered, but their reference is still correct
- Undefined behavior when dolphin gets unresponsive [e.g.: because of a defective kioslave], most of the code assume dolphin is okay [e.g.: QPixmap::grabWidget won't work in a frozen window].
