Tabber 2 Wishlist

I wanna build an app you'll use, so please tell me what you wanna see :).

This next version of Tabber is going to look something like this... (a screenshot of dragthing but quite similar to the layout of Tabber 2 atm)

Thanks :)

Lookin' good! I eagerly await this.. ^_^

Great to hear you'll be working on a new release!

My suggestions:

- ability to dock to whatever edge you choose (I have my taskbar on top and most of the tab gets hidden by the taskbar)

- closing a tab by clicking on it would be good

- make the icon area size customizable

refer to your screenshot:

-make the left side bar (with the three buttons) only extend as high as the icon space

- make the area around the actual tabs transparent (i.e left of the Applications tab, right of the URLs tab and over the top of all the tabs) - hope you understand what I'm saying here.

There are also some good suggestions in the other thread for Tabber 0.1

Nice! :lol: ! It would be great if you can dock it on a side of the screen (left/right side) and make it auto hide! (Y)

XP_2003, love that auto-hide idea - looks great.

Alilm - note the tabs in XP_2003's demo...no background behind them...that's what I was trying to explain in my wishlist post above.

That looks great! (Y) Does it support drag-and-drop? And the "poof" animation when removing an item?

#90752

Another thing to look forward to (besides TDK4)!!

Alilm, I've found a dragthing clone, kinda. It's called CoolTabs, google it. Maybe you can refer to it or something. It's shareware, takes up a lot of resources and not very versatile. I didn't like it.

i agree - for some reason the background behind the actual tabs just doesn't look right to me.

I like it :shy:

The background should be gone when you dock it to one side of the screen, not when it's a floating window! ;)

#91145

What i want? A dock replacement that act like Windows explorer (moving icons, copy, cut and paste, renaming, adding folders and docs, etc.) and looks like the pic XP_2003 posted (below). Now that would be cool! :lol:

#91209

Nice!!! :rock: And if you add docklet support i could kiss you! :lol:

#91781

docklets in Tabber?! that would be too much! :D

Man, this is very different than what I thought, I was expecting some kind of tabs in the explorer windows. Tabbed browsing through the OS. This is much better!

#91795

-Ability to add tabs

- an Arrow under the app that is running

-A poof when you drag an icon off

-When you click on it the icon is pushed in?

Those were just a few of my suggestions. I hope that you could add this stuff to it

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

#91993
