Good idea. (I did my icon-tab-view back back in Jaguar/10.2, when tabs 
didn't look like buttons.)

You can actually use an NSSegmentedControl instead of multiple 
buttons, and it'll look pretty much identical to an NSTabView.

Speaking of tabs not looking like buttons, I still miss the old 
appearance. Anyone know if there's a 3rd-party tab-view implementation 
that deliberately uses that retro look?
Actually what I'd really love is the combo tab/slider view that 
Project Builder had. That was an excellent and very useful UI.
