 We've talked about this in UI group before, this is essentially a
 continuation of [12412].

 The tabs currently look rather big and bulky. We'd like to find a more
 graceful, subtle way to show multiple screens under one nav item.

 Some notes:

  - Tabs should be different sections of one nav item (primarily Themes and
 Plugins).  They are not children of that nav item.  There shouldn't be any
 visual hierarchy between the h1 and the tabs.  The tabs, essentially, are
 the different h1s.

  - I use the word tabs loosely.  They do not necessarily have to look like
 traditional tabs.  Creative solutions to this would be awesome.

  - We are also open to suggestions to changing the wording on the tabs,
 especially for themes.  Current they read, "Manage Themes" and "Install
 Themes".  "Install Themes" is a bit misleading, "Add New Themes" would be
 more descriptive.

 Attached are previous proposals.
