--- Comment #3 from Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) <Samuel.Mehrbrodt@cib.de> ---
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2)
The proposal was to introduce icon views instead of tabs. Looks tidy and
modern with icons and enough white space. But I remember harsh criticism
saying we cannot change all dialogs.
In this case we have *17* tabs. That would mean a lot of scrolling with your
mockup. I'm sure power users would complain very soon. If anything, I would
keep the small tab size and add icons left to the text, like:

[icon] label
[icon] label
...

An alternative is to just disable multiline tabs. In that case, arrows allow
to navigate to the undisplayed tabs.
This is ok as long as there is one or two tabs that cannot be shown by default,
but I wouldn't do it if half of the tabs need scrolling, this would also
seriously slow down power users.
