The dialogs should look good with 8 tabs at the top too - the names in the tabs are currently quite short. The changing of this value would have no effect on other dialogs such "Edit">"Preferences", "File">"Import/Export", "Tools" >"Online Banking Setup" because they have more as 10 tabs or are based on other GTK elements. So I have changed the value to 8 in my PR: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/382. <https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/382> It looks like the Import/Export and Online Banking setup dialogs are > different in that they force the user to step through each tab in order. > Normally, tabs should not depend on or affect settings in other tabs.
