My idea was to style tabs as links in the top menu, opening target
tiddlers in the main menu/tab content area, as Yann does. Where so
much less is involved as with MenuMore's system. If there wouldn't be
the single difficulty of getting those tabs right. In TWkd the
positioning of the tabs in the top menu is accomplished by using:
#topMenu{
        position:absolute;
        top:0.2em;
        left:0;
        ...
- and:
#topMenu .txtCurrentMode .tabContents{
        position:absolute;
        float:left;
        left: 0.2em;
        etc.:

fET - forEachThought - with full transcentental logic.. - an
interesting plugin suggestion...

But thinking about avoiding all this difficulty of having either to
define complex html for each menu in PageTemplate, Menu AND Stylesheet
- as with MenuMore - or such tricky tricks - as of TWkd - I think the
relatively easiest solution could be the use of NestedSlidersPlugin
together with DOMTweaksPlugin and InlineJavascriptPlugin - as this is
almost exemplified with Eric's MainMenuExtras - which does also work
by placing it's link anywhere else, but still would need definitions
in the PageTemplate like this:
<div id='mainMenu'>
<div id='mainMenuStandard' refresh='content' tiddler='MainMenu'></div>
<div id='mainMenuExtras' refresh='content' tiddler='MainMenuExtras'></
div>
...
</div>

- plus assigning different DOM id's to the different slided menus, as
it can be seen in this tiddler:

Well, if I look at the already existing graphical navigation plugins,
which do this to a full extent - I don't think the time exactly right
yet - since this seems to have to be bought with much performance
decrease.
As non-graphical option - there is already TiddlersBar- or
BreadcrumbsPlugins.

If I understood Skye right, he would already by satisfied with showing
the context of only a few tiddlers opened from the top menu with
cookies. Mmm..

God thanks, we can only break a TiddlyWiki - or destroy the live
supporting systems of our generations - if we choose to. Don't think
we could do this do the world, or save it instead...
