Re: widescreens
Tabs on the side waste an awful lot of space. e.g. I have six tabs in this browser, so that's either one row of text across the top or 20 characters by six rows on the side plus maybe another hundred rows of blank space underneath them
Did you look at the linked screenshots? The tabs for wm2 & wmx are turned sideways (like flwm) so they're one line of text horizontally and as many characters vertically as they need.
