it's pretty hard to please everyone when it comes to the look of the UI - and vertical screen space is a sparse resource.
Surely adding four pixels to the tab height isn't wasting screen space?
I disagree.
Four pixels are already quite a lot on todays "HD" screens which just have a screen height of 768 pixels. And quite some low-end netbooks just have 600 or 480 pixels screen height. There, fource pixels do matter.
But OTOH: Why not make it configurable if we disagree?
It's hardly a dramatic change, yet it dramatically improves the tab appearance and readability: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/dillo/screenshots.php?closeup=Z02-dillo3-...
Looks perfect and readable for me.
Kind regards, Axel
You say it's wasting space, yet you agree it helps the readability. Obviously that means it serves its purpose, so I don't consider that wasted space. (If you *really* need to conserve vertical space, take a couple pixels off the File menu and location bar; they can spare it. Or maybe set FL_NORMAL_SIZE a bit smaller, since the 14px default is frankly ridiculous.) ~Benjamin
