Registered by Mathijs Henquet

A collection of mockups and thought on what we want our tab handeling to look and feel like. Feel free to add your mockups to the whiteboard and joint the discussion.

This great mockup by chawsum shows ways we could change the default new tab. Instead of showing a users home folder, we could show a list of commonly viewed places, devices, perhaps some zeitgeist intergration.

What about common tab look/feel/behavior across eApps? Behaviour would include things like
- open new tab when double-click on empty space in tabbar
- duplicate tab when double-click on tab
- hover to preview tab
It'd be great if Marlin, Midori and tomorrow other apps (e.g. terminal) shared the same tab framework. --ttosttos

Spin tab?

Not familiar with Spin tab. Firefox-like tabs with the actions described above would be very compelling. The mockup above is an improvement. I'd round the corners a bit. It's unclear how you propose to display unselected tabs ('Mockups" in your case?). I'd suggest incorporating these concepts in the elementary HIG
