Description Tijmen Ruizendaal 2006-04-04 12:11:54 UTC 
Most of the time I have like 20 tabs open. Right now I have a resolution of
1280x1024. The bad thing is that I can only see 6 tabs at once. If I want to
view a tab somewhere between 8 or 20 I have to go through all the tabs (with
ctrl-pagdown, or clicking the arrow on the right) to look for the tab I want. It
takes a lot of time, while I can just recongnize the tab by it's icon and/or
first three letters of the <title>.

My suggestion is to make the tabs smaller when the current size is to big to fit
 all of them. The arrow could appear with 20 or more tabs or so.

It sounds reasonable, sadly my resolution is hardware fixed so I can't try or fix this :(.

Can anyone with a high resolution confirm and check this one?

The tab size is determined by character width, not resolution. So making the window wider will make more tabs fit.
