Re: [Tile-dev] Breakthrough! Proper tabs on OSX!

Joe,

When you implement variant notebook styles, please include
an option of no tabs at all, like the BWidget PagesManager.
It's a need I run into regularly, and though the PagesManager
works OK it's annoying to have to use a megawidget when
ttk::notebook does everything right.  Also, with PagesManager
there's a call you have to make after all of the pages are
defined so that it can compute the maximum size of any page;
ttk::notebook just does this right, with no fuss.

I asked for this once before, and you declined, saying it
was easy enough to do in Tcl, which it is; but it's one of
those things that has to be done exactly right.  I think
we'd get better GOOBE if ttk::notebook simply provided the
behavior.
