the case i saw first was a window with no splits 1 term.. with no extra tabs.
it shouldn't have had any extra decorations for the tab bar. :) if you want a
tab bar covering all splits (and it switches the currently focused split) -
sure. i would put a tab bar at the top of every term (in each split). if user
hides tab bar then work like terminology did before - with the grid tab
switcher. with tab bar visible then you can use the tab bar to switch terms. :)

i'm easy there - as long as when turned off. it ceases to exist. :) give me a
bit and i'll show you what i would do/expect from tabs. it's a bit complex as
there arent really any examples of doing nice tabs with edje. i can see why you
did it the way you did, and why i'd do it differently visually (which would
affect everything else too).
