I posted this to Zorlac in the Developer's forums and he agreed it was a good idea to make better buttons for the *TB* tab.
This should be easy for some of you graphic experts. I suggested we make more 'icon' type buttons for the *TB* tab. Something that looks real slick and is easy to understand at a glance.
I just mocked this up for an example of the idea:
Some ideas to keep in mind for a good design:
Maybe also group the buttons that change the Window 'State' (Max/Normal, Close, and Minimize TB) together. Also group the buttons that change the 'look' of TB together (ie. Cursor, Button Borders, Tabstrip, Statusbar, Titlebar). Maybe using a common background shade for each grouping? And put the Previous Tab button in the top/left corner? Put the Suspend Macros button next to the Macro List button.
Zorlac said these are the requirments for the buttons:

So, if you have some time, and can come up with some cool buttons to make the *TB* tab look real slick, post them here.
