Hi Luke

Yes, the main problem I have with the capsule-design is indeed, as you
pointed it out, that unselected titles have no capsule but i thought
this could be fixed by a very slight grey capsule to give the feeling
that you can click on that buttton and expect something from it. Today
I found out that the top-right circle was for dragging the window
around... i must recognize that that wasn't so obvious, but a simple
crossed-arrow could explicit that icon's point.

However I'll still love blender with its tabs ;-)
