Description Milan Kubec 2003-12-04 14:17:24 UTC 
[WinXP, XP L&F] I looked closely on all kids of
tabs in IDE and realized that each type look very
differently. I mean editor tabs, component palette
tabs, properties tabs, debugger window tabs.
I will attach screenshots of each type, please
consider that they differ in: colors, height,
label alignment, expressing focus, spacing related
to neighbors, ...
All screenshots were taken after one click on the
active tab. 
I undestand that each tab represents something
else (TopComponent, Property sheet) and are
implemented in various modules, but some kind of
consistency would be good.

Passing to Jano, to think about it.

This is just as horrible in the Metal look and feel.

Its particularly bad in SDI mode for the Output window, where the
outer layer of tabs (typically Output & Execution) look completely
different from the inner layer of tabs (Compiler, XML Check, Debugger
Output etc).
