A switch to turn it on/off is an easy way to please everyone though :-) But since I'm noticing a trend towards maximising screen real-estate, I'd suggest the default is off.

well, I agree with you . Still without a tab there's now way to know if you are using a full or a tabbed layout. you can forget this patch and go the firefox way (extensions are there for being modified by the users after all). andrea.

Hi! I don't know, but I think that also the first opened window should be tabbed in a tabbed layout. I think...

It's good to have precedent. What does ion do? I note firefox doesn't use a tab for a single window. Of course, a flag to turn this on or off might be simpler.

For me, with one window no tab is required. For precedents I'll cite Firefox and Gaim (aka Pidgin).

Ion always provides a tab (title bar) for every window.

Ion also has the popular mintabs extension, which removes the title bar when there's only one tab. I prefer this behavior. It can make it a little confusing to tell which mode you're in, but I think it's worth the real estate. It'll be especially useful if my ideas of nesting layouts work out, and we start having much smaller tabbed layouts on a portion of the screen--where you really don't want to waste space on unnecessary tabs. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
