[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Tabs in Browse

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

in the current version of Browse tabs are enabled by default. The tabs 
in Browse has been an unfinished Feature which mainly was meant to fix 
the issue of a web page opening a new window (this was then opened in a 
new tab automatically).

The latest Browse does add the functionality to let the user add tabs, 
the '+' button in the toolbar [browse-toolbar]. Having several tabs open 
looks like [browse-tabs]. A few things to say here: the close icon is 
not sugarized. The coloring of the tabs is not in a Sugar style and the 
text does not elipsize - hence the tabs can have different sizes (see 
Firefox for an example here).

I would propose as well to do something similar as Firefox in the latest 
version: placing the 'add tab' button next to the latest tab 
[firefox-tabs]. This has the nice side effect of not introducing yet 
another icon in the toolbar. On an XO the url entry size is ridiculously 
small already.

Furthermore there is a significant bug with tabs [1], that should be fixed.

Regards,
    Simon
