Default Tab control overlaps with border
On Windows XP when using the default tab control, the tab shown overlaps with the border which separates tabs from toolbar.
To reproduce:
1.) Start XnView.
2.) In Tools > Options > Interface activate "Use default tab control".
3.) Close Option dialog with OK
--> The "Browser" tab overlaps and hides the border.
V1.90 B6

Ghost tabs !
• Hi !
• Confirmed, here I get "tabs" which are not painted at all !

• Only the lack of a portion on the white line shows the “active tab”
- Same in Browser and in View.
• Frankly, I don't see what this option is useful for ?

Buggy !
• Again…
in example I get them OK in the Options with my classic Win9x interface…
• Hence, the file-tabs are pretty buggy using that option.

- Yes, why not ? But in the case, we might get the normal Windows tabs,I'm not sure what this settings is good for, but perhaps some people want the native Windows controls. …

XP - XP

• I guess you misunderstood a bit that I told above : I tested under XP-Pro only, in which I use a classic Win9x theme…
• In the same PC, I've too a Win98 SE, but it's out of duty, impossible to reuse it to boot…
- The reason is an error when installing a new M-B and XP…
- Besides, my oldie PI with 98 SE is broken and I didn't repair it yet, I miss time…
