I use that, and generally like it. In tabbar.el the tab bar belongs to one window, but in tab-bar.el that I presented it belongs to a frame. >> Below is a screenshot how this feature currently looks in Emacs > > Unsolicited feedback: Too much wasted horizontal space. This is a restriction from the implementation of the tool-bar reused by tab-bar.el. I don't know why the tool-bar inserts extra space between icons. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
