Were you double-clicking the tabs or something?

well yeah, i want them back!
i mean, i can no longer merge entire windows, or windows that you open and have no address bar, now only tabs can be merges with other windows.

the tabs on top had a little edge, even if it was just one, that you could drag around anywhere.

something i hate abt macs is how the desktop gets so cluttered and that was a great solution, i loved, i got so used to the beta. i even kept it while i was suffering with the messnger bug.

i want the tabs on top back, why wasnt it an option in preferences, having them on top or not!

Yes, the tabs on top save lots of space on a laptop screen. Want them back too!

I love Tabs on Top. Want them back.
A few from the Stone Age don’t like them :(

Can anyone tell me a way to get them back.

Thanks! The tabs were less responsive when they were on the top!

[...] The “Tabs on Top” looks very messy and doesn’t give the app enough of an “enclosed” feeling that I like in my apps (I turned it off with the plist hack) [...]

I just wish Apple would offer preference settings for arbitrary changes they make to the UI. Would it be so difficult to include a checkbox in preferences to either enable or disable this “feature”.

Esthetics aside, the tabs-on-top mucks with the integrity of the title bar/window frame — you’d think that would be a violation of Apple’s own user interface guidelines.

Thanks so much for this hint. I couldn’t use the tabs on top when navigating with my Wacom graphics tablet. For some reason, tapping my tablet would always minimize the window to the Dock instead of switching to the tab. Very annoying
