Here at Ximian we have been brainstorming a bit about what happens
next in the Evolution world. One of the ideas that has come up is a
substantial overhaul of Evolution's UI.

Since images speak better than words, here are the mockups for some
designs that Anna has developed: (this is just to give a very rough
idea of what it would be like; the icons and labels are not final, the
widgets are not the real ones etc.)

Re: It needs tabs not buttons (Screenshot Mockup)

Tabs are evil.

The only reason to use tabs is because your window manager sucks.

Maybe some more communication between apps and the window manager is needed to get full functionality.

An example is Galeon.

It uses tabs because then you can close all your windows, and you can easily see what windows are Galeon ones.

Now if you had a 'clever' panel, it would just spawn an ekstra line when you clicked on a galeon window and here all the galeon windows would be shown.

Innovation is needed in the windowmanager appartment before we get 100 programs programmed with the same 10 features.
