Many other IM and other apps already have multi-row tabs, or option to align tabs vertically. I already create issue about this in Kopete and Telepathy, so will be good to see this fixed in QutIM too. Decreasing tab width is not so good idea, because with many tabs we will can't read name of contact and tabs will be not useful, here is result: http://wstaw.org/m/2011/10/24/plasma-desktopQ19118.jpg This problem is exist already with Kopete, described here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54194 and this issue got very much votes, so the problem is serious and must be fixed! Best solution for this problem are: 1. Multirow tabs, examples: Kate: http://kate-editor.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/multiline-tabbar.png Visual Studio: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/ReviewImages/11272009103149AM/Tabs%20Studio%20in%20Visual%20Studio%202008.png Windows: http://www.computerfreetips.com/images/performance-settings.gif Firefox: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_xvqZvwoH9PI/SzLOE3mIk4I/AAAAAAAAPeE/ba5iQ4VrYGQ/multi_row_tabs.jpg QIP: http://images3.download.ru/images/reviews/qip.jpg 2. Vertical aligned horizontal tabs, examples: Firefox: http://www.thetips.org/wp-content/plugins/pe/pics/086fd_vertical-tabs.png Google Chrome: http://www.3dnews.ru/_imgdata/img/2010/07/23/595620/chrome-vertical-tabs.gif Safari: http://limi.net/media/tree-style-tabs.png KDEPIM mobile: http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/kmail_mobile_maemo1.png So the problem is serious for usability and must be fixed via any way, or will be best to implement all ways and give ability to select preferred way in options.
