I wanna see a TREE!!!

The first tab is double height to show it has children,...(have tabs on top)

But then both it's children, AND the children's children (i.e. a subtree, are on the same level...)....

I lose the tree structure immediately after 1 level...

I'd want to see .. a different line in the tree for each level/sublevel I create so I can see the tree structure!!!

The data structure holding the tabs may be tree structured, but I want to see the visual..

Now ideally, the line I am on, and it's children would be normal size...or maybe the children 75% size, but lines above and
below that would be 'minimized' to 'maybe' (don't know what would look good), a doubleline outline, then either a single line of color (from the tab color and no attempt at text), OR a 7px high space using a 6px font with no space above/below it (touching frame or cutoff if it was a really tall char).....just enough to give a 'hint' of what is there...if you really want to read it...have to switch to that
tree level.... (best would be togglable option to choose among all 3 -- the 1-line color, mini-squished, or some larger size(s)...).

Is that possible? Otherwise...I love the idea on this, but as it is now, you are only showing me 1 level more than the
default browswer shows (i.e. it does things in trees, though I can't manage them in trees)...

I don't really need the 'management' as often as I need the visual aid to see where I am in the tree...

Make sense?

Great work though!
