Yeah I guess that's my fault here that I lived through the 90s starting with windows 3.1. I saw Teleshopping praising and selling the illegal BeOS variant Zeta. But I always found it's dockable windows very cool. Something that no other OS ever did, not even today.

    Didn't Fluxbox have dockable windows?

    Does it? With Dockable Windows I mean the following: you have a file browser and a text editor and you snap them together so the titlebar acts as a tabbar and you can tab between the file browser and the text editor in the same window.

    Yep, that's Fluxbox tabs.

    Tabbing is a nice feature that allows you to tab windows together. This can be combined with the "autogrouping" feature that is provided via the apps-file. This will make certain applications tab together by default.

    Tabs can eiher be embedded into the window's titlebar as shown in the upper screenshot or they can appear as little tabs at the outside of a window such as the lower example. The position and size of the outside-tabs is customizable.
