It is like a set of tabs, placed at the left side of the area, instead of the 
top, and with the text turned 90˚. The current tab button (selected state) 
has a dark background, while the non-selected tab buttons have a light 
background, which turns slowly darker when you move the mouse pointer over 
them. A nice visual effect. If you click again over a tab button when it is 
selected, the whole tabbed area is collapsed (except for the tab buttons), 
and can be restored again clicking the same or any other button. As Guillaume 
said, it is very similar to the side tab buttons of KDevelop, except for the 
mouse-over visual effect.

I think that this control could be used to replace the current tabbed 
arrangement, with the drawback of the tab buttons placed at the left side 
taking some additional space from the track list and canvas, while our 
current tabs are placed at the top of the area. 

I agree with Michael when he said that it does not solve the problem of the 
vertical stacked arrangement at all. We are trying to find a way to place the 
three current parameter areas together at the screen and at the same place, 
without taking too much space from the track list and canvas, and without 
sacrificing any control so everybody will be happy. We need the Holy Grail 
Widget.
