Comment #4 on issue 185 by coreyoconnor: Tabs not supported in GTK or other non-Vty UIs http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=185
The UI.Vty code just renders tab bar from a GUI agnostic description using styled text. In theory anyways. What should be contained in the tab bar should be described in a GUI agnostic fashion in the module UI.TabBar. The first equation the GTK frontend should use when rendering the tab bar is UI.TabBar.tabBarDesc. This produces a TabBarDescr given an Editor. Once this tab bar description is acquired the description should be mapped to a GTK widget or set of GTK widgets. This mapping is where things get tricky. A quick hack would be to render the tab bar using just style text (same as UI.Vty) to a 1 line high text field. This, of though, doesn't take advantage of the styling and interaction capabilities a GTK UI has over the pure text UI of Vty. From browsing the GTK widget gallery (http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/ch02.html) the notebook widget is clearly the closest to a tabbar UI. However depending on how the notebook widget implements it's paging through the different tabs we may have to attack the problem on a lower level. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
