*Agreed with Dave. We need to follow the GUI standards while designing, so
that it’s more usable.*

*With the disabled gray label, we might change the disabled tab colour to
dark gray, and on pointer move event, we can show the reason of
disablement.*

*The use of semiotics on tabs may complex or provide a heavy look and feel.*
