One of the biggest quirks I've had with AW's new GUI is the tabs window. I
hate having to either block out parts of the view/chat windows to have my
tabs open, or have the web window open on the side so the tabs won't block
anything. Can we please at least get an OPTION to have the older GUI where
tabs were built-in and not a seperate, floating window?

I have my tabs window the full length of my screen and to the left of my
main aw browser window. I leave it open all the time and were it not for it
being an actual window of it's own it pretty much looks like it use to as
far as where it *sits*. It's also the full height of my browser and about
1-1/2" wide, the browser window takes up the remainder of my desktop view to
the right of the tabs window. I don't use aw's built in web browser cause I
don't like how it takes away from my view screen so I view webpages outside
of aw.

Perhaps instead of treating it like a separate window ... set it up so that
it is close to what it looked like before like I've done?

if you do that(acting as if the dock isn't a seperate window), then when
turning, you don't actually turn at the center of whats left of the 3d
window, so it looks wierd. and, certain objects you should see, which are
hidden, so can feel irritating too, so i'm guessing, when building, and
exploring, it could be quite irritating.

Yeah, that and somehow when a window isn't maximized I always close the one
behind it when I click in the upper right corner of my screen...

I just don't see how it could be too difficult to add a checkbox in the
options that just makes the tabs part of the browser window again, instead
of a seperate window.

I totally agree with you guys. It's the number one annoying thing about the
new version 3.6 browser! Let us "anchor" the docking feature, please!

But it is kinda nice to move it where you want also and being able to make
it the shape you want it. I suppose sonetimes it's anoying though. I guess
if you think about it...it's just another thing to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time. Maybe having it it the same place all the time is better and
less fuss. I feel however that the Object Properties box always covering the
object your working with is far more frustrating. It seems to me that you
used to be able make it stay in the same place all the time even after you
left AW and came back.

Yes we need this back, if people want it still it should be an option..
It's quite annoying.
