Hi Tobias,
: the current tabsize is always resized to a minimum
: of the possible titlewidth while the others are maximazed. It
: would be much better if every tab has equal width !
At the moment the tab-button for the visible tab is resized to
allow the title text to be fully visible & the remaining space is
shared equally between the remaining tab-buttons for the non-visible
windows.
Earlier versions of FvwmTabs used to share space equally among
ALL the tab-buttons (I think this is what you are asking for?)
which works fine if you only have a few tabs & the title text is
not very long. However if you use many tabs &/or long title text
(much more common) this quickly becomes a problem as you can't
see all the title text for the visible tab.
Hence the current arrangement which deliberately tries to solve
this problem.
I don't see any advantages in using the earlier arrangement - you
don't really *gain* anything. Aesthetics perhaps? Am I misunderstanding
something?
: It is
: then possible to easyly see which tab is currently used and
: therefore the tabs can be switched faster.
Color & tab-button relief are the best ways to see which tab is visible.
Anyway, consider what's described above & tell me if you *really*
need this feature. If you do I can add it in as an option.
What do other FvwmTabs users think about this issue? agree? disagree?
SCoTT. :)
