Agree, shadowing could help out here, and it would make sense now that 
the draggable areas on the right are shadowed.

I was going to suggest that the active tab got nudged a couple of pixels 
up, compared to inactive tabs.

Then I got thinking... should we consider the feelings of the 
programmers? I mean, the tabs are going to be pretty hard to implement 
as they are now... What can we do to make it easier on them?

Oh, and sidenote: the Expand/collapse buttons are a bit too subtle in v. 
18 I think. I'm not going to be all passionate like with the rest of the 
UI since those are essentially non-standard web elements.

But how about going bigger?

Check out this expand button:

It's not really good looking, but it's damn easy to click :)
