... the tabs look nice, but could increase the height to match the File button or no?

it's pretty hard to please everyone when it comes to the look of the UI - and vertical screen space is a sparse resource. Cheers, Johannes

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.

You say it's wasting space, yet you agree it helps the readability.

Ehm, I thought the screenshot was without the added four pixels as you wrote something like making them the same height like the File menu and on that screenshot the tabs still have less height than the File menu.

maybe set FL_NORMAL_SIZE a bit smaller, since the 14px default is frankly ridiculous.)

I think I'm with Axel on not liking to waste pixels on the tabs, and, as for FL_NORMAL_SIZE, I'll likely commit the patch that changes it based on font_factor, so if you have your font_factor small, you may get your wish. (As for me, I'm happy with 14px.)

By the way, just to clarify on FL_NORMAL_SIZE: On Windows (and modern X toolkits like GTK+ and Qt), user interface fonts are a system setting, like colors. It's not perfect by a long shot, since fonts are still hard-coded in many applications and a number of other places, but it at least provides some level of consistency. More importantly, if the fonts are too small in your applications, you can adjust it once system-wide, rather than having to tweak each individual application's settings. This is not new stuff; Windows, for example, has been doing it since at least 1995. I really miss FLTK2, which actually used the system font settings rather than hard-coding the default fonts -- which, coincidentally, don't really match anything except old Motif apps and look-alikes, and who the hell still uses Motif? But now I digress. ~Benjamin

Works OK here (Debian testing amd64).

Haven't found time for testing the Debian package build yet, but plan do so later today, including corvid's patch for the redirect filtering issue.
