This page is a collection of requirements for the third generation Chrome tabstrip implementation.
- live tab contents during dragging
- full size dragged representations
- frame fade transition during detach/attach
- dragged representation places tab at relevant position in tabstrip (from jar)
- ability to resume drag in tabstrip after attach
- ability to resume drag in tabstrip after move from overflow UI
- overflow UI capability
- multiselect for drag and close
- independent continuous animations (View::GetAnimator)
- generic TabStrip baseclass that does not deal with TabContentses
- BrowserTabStrip subclass that interacts with TabStripModel (and knows about TabContentses)
- testing for Layout
- general testable interface (View-Controller separation)
- tests for drag and drop using testable interface
- windows 7 integration for drag and drop targets at screen edges in lieu of the current Dock system that we use on Vista and below.
P2s/3s:
Implementing a system capable of supporting all of this will require some tweaks to TabStripModel and a replacement of the existing Tab/TabRenderer/TabStrip/etc system.
We should avoid adding new features/capabilities to the current tabstrip until this system is implemented
