Basic Layout of the Leo GUI

One thing I never understood about the Leo GUI : Why is the tab bar with the open files right below the title bar, but above the menu bar and the tool bar? Imagine a car where the accelerator and the brake were switched. In almost every other application (I know of) the order is: title bar

I have to admit that we are on the same boat here! After 30 years of programming, with 20+ programming languages including rare gems like CLIPPER and CHILL, I knew I was at home when I found Python. And I'm not going to change this, at least on this life! But I know that we *can get the goal
