Version: (using KDE 4.0.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Tabs as implemented in KDE cannot be changed by just placing a mouse on a tab and scrolling on it to change the tab. This however has been implemented in Gnome for a long time and is what I use to assess the progress of KDE. Ironically, this functionality has been implemented in some KDE apps like amarok (in the edit track information dialog), and in Konsole's tabs. This begs the question, cant the tab widgets be implemented using the code in amarok (which can change tabs on scroll wheel?). If you want confirmation of what I mean, go to any KDE app and go to the help -> about dialog. Try scrolling to another tab e.g. translations or about author. You cannot do this unless you actually click on the tab you want to change to. This is real;ly annoying and even more so that some apps have implemented their own working versions of the tab widget and the plasma guys are too arrogant to incorporate code from another project. This is a must have feature!
probably insulting people won't help on this one. Specialy since the plasma people have nothing todo with the tabs in a about dialog. So, you are very rude and not informed. But i support your request.

What do you mean it has nothing to do with plasma! Then why is the tracker grouping plasma and widgets together? Last time I checked, tabs were widgets. Its not my fault the tracker pple dont know the difference btn widgets and plasma (now you can imagine how confused we are), I just filed a wishlist using your "brilliant" wizardry. Anyhowz, pragmatics aside, this is a valid complaint and i'd wish you to point me in the right direction (be it a forum or how I can start working on repairing this tab widget) if this isnt plasma's area. I love KDE and i'd really hate for pple not to see a big difference in KDE4. Thanks tho.

> tabs were widgets QWidgets, not plasma add-ons. > i'd wish you to point me in the right direction KTabWidget already implements wheel scrolling; so places that QTabWidget is used instead need to be swapped over to a KTabWidget. the about dialogs are in kdelibs/kdeui/dialogs/kabout*dialog.cpp. there's also KPagedDialog which uses tabs as well via KPageTabbedView in kdelibs/kdeui/paged/kpageview_p.cpp. adding scroll wheel movement to KTabWidget and then using KTabWidget in those dialogs would likely do the trick.
