Issue 188: UI: tab overflow http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=188
Comment #17 by figaro1111: Comment #12 said "No need to reinvent the wheel,". I personally think that there is room for a new idea here(Or maybe that's because I have a new idea for the wheel. :P). Besides, isn't that what chrome is all about, starting out fresh; trying things differently in an experimental way? I have a few crazy/different ideas. 1: Some kind of dragable and flickable area above the tabs, instead of < and > arrows. This way it'll be more responsive to navigate this virtual plan and wont take much thought for the user, it wont be intrusive. I've never liked the arrows in firefox because it felt like clicking several times to get to the tab that you want takes more clicks then it should. Of course this drag area doesn't have to be visible at all times. For example, in a maximized window it can only be visible when you place your cursor at the very top pixels of the screen. 2: Another idea I had in mind was some kind of visual layout that gives a wide, clear, scope of all the tabs we have up. A while back when a version of Safari came out for windows I thought that it would be cool to have coverflow in as tabs, but that would be pointless eyecandy. But sense chrome stores thumbnails of websites on your local drive then this is could be possible. Coverflow would be a little to intense, for slower computers, so maybe a thumbnail view of some kind with the title above the thumbnail in the tab. Just another idea. 3: Comment #14 mentioned a maximum number of tabs per window, which is an idea I had in mind also. But when a window is full the + button could change into a button which says full and when you click that it'll open a new window, or something like that. This idea isn't so great though because some people will want to have all their tabs scrunched into one window, rather then clutter their taskbar. My point though is that it should be played with to find the most intuitive route that will fit most everyones browsing experience.
