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.</p></div>

<p>I feel like this needs discussion rather than being presented as a truism. We use tabbed views for non-editable views all over the place throughout KDE software and to be honest I don't see a problem with it. If we're going to declare this to be a bad thing and move towards changing it, we need to first start that discussion, agree on it, and agree on a solution.</p>
<p>Would you like to open the Phab patch for this?</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R169 Kirigami</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D28873">https://phabricator.kde.org/D28873</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>cblack, Kirigami, VDG, ngraham<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>ngraham, niccolove, mart, ndavis, camiloh, plasma-devel, fbampaloukas, GB_2, domson, dkardarakos, apol, ahiemstra, davidedmundson<br /></div>
