proposal tab layout with label on active tab

SUMMARY
When have an label of the active tab you can reduce height and it's easier to know what the tab use used for.

In fact that option was considered during the redesign that produced these tabs.

However the problem with this idea is that it re-arranges the tabs to the right of the one with a title, which would break your muscle memory and make it hard to navigate to other tabs, because the click targets would always be shifting around. The compromise we came up with was what ended up getting merged: icons-only tabs, with the name of the current view below the tab bar.

So I think it's gotta stay the way it is, sorry. :)
