Hi Don,
Yes, the tabs still take up room, i guess that's the way it goes,
unless possibly create a 'hot tracking' set of tabs, where the tabs
appear when the mouse hovers over a small area of the tab control.
I kinda like having them visible though.
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
