If it really is easier for new users to grasp the tab concept with the tabs on top approach, then it is fine to have this as a default layout but it would be wonderful to allow the option of tabs on the bottom for those who prefer that (and this doesn't seem like it would be particularly difficult since that is the current layout). | If it really is easier for new users to grasp the tab concept with the tabs on top approach, then it is fine to have this as a default layout but it would be wonderful to allow the option of tabs on the bottom for those who prefer that (and this doesn't seem like it would be particularly difficult since that is the current layout). | ||
:One implication of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitt's_law Fitt's Law] is that having the tabs flush with the top of the screen when the window is maximized gives them an infinite surface area and they can be clicked on faster. | |||
:If there is a desktop environment taskbar at the top of the screen or the window is not maximized, this is clearly not the case. Obviously some stats and numbers are needed. In my own completely anecdotal and unscientific experience, selecting a tab in Chrome seems to be faster because the tab is more visually distinct, not being sandwiched between two major UI elements. But, as I said, anecdotal. Bring on the usability testing! --[[User:Jamesgecko|Jamesgecko]] 06:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
