Yesterday we had the first scoping meeting for my GSoC project. After we made some preliminary decisions in the meeting, I set out to make some mock-ups of how I envision Tabpos

These mockups are looking superb! However, I’d love to see what the intention is for a lot of tabs. My feeling is that people won’t use Tabpose when they only have 4-6 tabs, they’ll use it when they have 10+, or basically when all their tabs won’t fit in the tabbar. Does it then reduce the size of the thumbnails and number of columns so that they all fit in the one window?

One of the things that I was thinking of for many tabs was having a set minimum size for the tabs. Once the limit is reached it would start paging the tabs and then could see more of them by either tabbing through them which would eventually slide/push the view to the left revealing the overflow. Also there could possibly be a small arrow on the side that appears when multiple pages exist.

I’ll mock some more designs up. I want to figure out a way to keep paging to a minimum, but when users have 40+ tabs it is inevitable.
