Now that we have Snazzy Borders it is possible to have a simplified tab menu that is infinitely resizeable.
The above menu has been produced without the aid of images and will work in IE5.01, IE5.5, IE6, Opera 7.54, Mozilla 1.75, FF and NN 7.1. I am unable to test on a Mac so would be grateful for any feedback.
Also works with iMac tested in OS 10.2.8 with Camino 0.8.1, Netscape 7.1, Internet Explorer 5.2, Safari 1.0.3 and 1.3, and Firefox 1.0 (thanks Rick).
A big thank you to Alessandro Fulciniti for his work on Nifty Corners.
