Sure I am talking to you~~
It would be great for someone to start helping me, since that FYP thing start haunting me :P
Give me your email and I will make you a project member of
https://code.google.com/p/tabkit-2nd-edition/
And then you can update the code without giving me the patch(of course a notification would be better)
Also do you have google+? It seems a good place for discussion(if we discuss here other people will get so many emails lol) -

@se-mephi: TabKit is written in JavaScript, as well as any ordinary Firefox extension is. The main difference from Java is that JavaScript is dynamically typed. You are required to learn XML, CSS, XUL also. But the hardest obstacle is to discover intricacies of Firefox, because there is almost no documentation, other than Firefox's source code. This is the hardest work.

Unless someone is helping, I am not supporting horizontal multirow tabbar anymore, since there are so many extensions supporting multirow tabbar
If you think you will help develop the new tabkit then I will be happy to apply the patch

@PikachuEXE: You broke changing tabbar position on the fly. Apply this patch http://www.beroal.in.ua/prg/tabkit/on-the-fly.patch and try to change tabbar position in preferences. What do you think?

@PikachuEXE: IMHO you should test on Firefox 6. Firefox 6 is in beta and I am afraid that Firefox 4 will be deprecated when you finish.

Great News!
The scroll bar for the vertical tab bar is back!
LOL It tooks me 1~2 days to figure out the problem is in the CSS file (difference of DOM structure)
Also as the tab bar resize, the tabs' width will follow again
(I set the max width to 9999px, don't tell me it is not enough X))The highlighting tabs function seems to conflict with bartab though, need to fix this next (so the tab tree got to wait a bit)
All the changes is pushed to Gcode already, test it if you want!

OK I have created a repo and push it to GCode
https://code.google.com/p/tabkit-2nd-edition/
If you want to join the development, just send email to my email :)If you want to browse the repo in client program, please visit
http://mercurial.selenic.com/downloads/
and download TortoiseHg 2.1.3 with Mercurial 1.9.2
It is GUI program, and I love GUI lol -

@PikachuEXE why can't you push? did you try "git push origin master"?
Mercurial would be fine -
PikachuEXE
commented
I cannot do the last push command on github
I am thinking to use google code with one of CVS(should be Mercurial for me)
Any idea? -

Good work o/ You should make a repo on github or something so other people can work on it with you. -

Just bring the splitter back(and can resize tabbar now), so many code need to be updated o3o
Anyone know how to change the arrow to scrollbar...(I need to study other extension again? lol) -

OK, Now I am able to make the vertical tabbar work by referencing TU's code
Then I have to fix the width...tab grouping...coloring...
Well it might take some time but at least I have something to work on
