[rekonq] 0.7 Development: TABS UP

[Johannes Zellner]

Hi,

great to hear someone is testing/improving kdepim for akonadi, we were warned 
at work to not touch it atm... ;-)

Regarding the tabs placement, for me it actually does not make much difference, 
visually I like to have the urlabar at highest as possible.
I can understand that breaking the KDE HIGs will result in lots of worried 
users.
Is it really too much work to have at least the position of the tabbar 
configureable? We will keep a lot more users happy.

What I don't really understand is, why this should be a major change for next 
release...maybe I didn't get the point. 
"Each tab a process", doesn't need to have the tabbar at top for me...the 
users don't need a visual indication that this tab together with 
urlbar+content is separate. 
Do users really care to see the separation?

Just my personal thoughts ;-)

As I said I don't use rekonq tabs that much (kwin is the better window/tab 
manager, even without its tabbing ;-) )

Best Regards,
Johannes
