Description radick 2007-12-05 13:20:38 UTC 
In NetBeans all windows ("Projects", "Files", "Navigator", "Output" etc) are added as tabs to the special areas. The
problem is that the length of the tabs is always fills all the length corresponding area. This makes length of the tab
very long in some cases. For example if you have only one "Output" window opened in the bottom area this makes the
length of the "Output" window to be extremely long (it is as long as your screen). This makes IDE's UI not very
attractive. The whole IDE will look more pretty if the length of the tabs was decreased to the required size (to fit the
length of the tab's title) but not to the available size as it is now.

Thanks,

This is very similar request like 120075, marking as duplicate.
AFAIK layout is designed so that there is visual difference between tabs for views and tabs for documents.
