GitKraken is free for public GitHub repositories, I never tried it with anything local but I think you are right in that the free version does work as well. I spent a few weeks with the free version and happily handed them some money for the pro version. Its a really nice client. I actually bought a second license as I had the GitHub client on my wife's computer and it was so terrible in comparison.

Here are some ways that I use the tab control: Can you think of other good uses for the tab control?

Has anyone noticed that if a window (A) has no titlebar AND (B) is resizable, then it will have a white stripe at the top of it? (see screenshot below, and note that the big titlebar is not actually a titlebar, but a styled button, and the actual titlebar is hidden) Has anyone figured out how to get rid of this white strip (perhaps with Windows API calls)? I know I can get it to go away if I make the window NOT resizable, but I don't want that -- I need to be able to resize. I've done a little googling and the only thing I can really find how to set up WPF properties for the windows, and I can't seem to find any magic user32.dll calls or anything like that. Here's an example: white strip at top of window.vi Thanks for any help or ideas.

6. Show/Hide Controls -- In UIs that have CPU intesive indicators (Tables, Graphs, ect.), I have a show/hide option that I used to implement with the visible property, but I now use tabs. The added bennefit is that I can put a message or picture in the empy tab saying that the indicators have been hidden for faster execution. Alan

I have seen people using it for dumping stuff they dont want to see on the UI 5. Garbage collector -- Use a 2 tab control, put everything in the first one that the user should not see (for example VI inputs, VI outputs ...). In the second tab put the UI controls that the user is expected to interact with. At run time make sure the second tab is selected and that the user do not see the tab control. PJM
