No offense, but I don't like it. It's hard to explain why, I'm not really
sure myself.

After thinking about it, I think I've found a reason. It's quite simple: my
previous computer experience tell me that "tabs don't behave this way".
Well, they don't do it in real life either, of course. They should only
"move" along the z axis.

Yes. I see the buttons on Kickoff as tabs, and tabs just shouldn't slide
this way. Or so says my brain, I think. Maybe it's just me.
