I think there a two(or both) ways to do it. 1. child tabs that are

this setting is on, child tabs will be connected to each other
visually(only visually). with some triangle cut out or something like
that.
Was thinking something along those very lines as well.
I've seen those.. ye can't say I'm happy what I see but some UX stuff
could be useful for sure. My stuff is kinda more minimalistic and
clean without obvious indicators and stuff.
I'm only for minimalism when it makes sense. Hidden scroll-bars, weak
differentials between active & inactive windows, low contrast design
(the "flat" or "metro" look), overly anti-aliased text (MacOS X goes
just a touch too far, IMHO, and looks a bit unfocused), and the like are
not something I see as beneficial to usability - and often not even to
aesthetics.
Do you consider a possible migration to something more modern?
Sure, I'm always on the look-out for new ideas, my work is all framework
and a very simple basic implementation. In fact, the default decorator
will be the current one, with inactive windows receiving a very slight
reduction in opacity, the corners nipped off just a bit (about three
pixels), and - of course - optional shadows (which follow the decorator
outline and are only a couple of pixels wide).
I like understated designs, nice, simple, clean, but still communicative
with greater discoverability.
If you have some examples of what you mean by minimalism and modern,
that would be fantastic.
