I agree with comment #1......... and the other issue is that the grey area where all the tab names are.........the bottom part is cut off! U can see it in the preview!
Well.....if and when these details are fixed, i will download, and complete my Tronnix suite! Honest opinion, i wouldnt put this next to such a perfect Suite!
P.S. the highlighted selected tab, would have sold me! Oh, and please dont take offense.......its just an opinion!

I cant fix the cut-off bit. I tried too, but the only way to do it is to move down the text, which looks really bad. As for the highlighting bit, how would I do that? It would just look like the whole section was highlighted the whole time...

I am not a professional skinner.....but I have seen Tabbed docks that highlight the selected tab! I have no clue how to do it..... but i have seen it done!
and cant u just make the entire dock like 10 pixels taller to compensate for the cutoff bit! Well sorry i had such a bad opinion!

No no, not a bad opinion...there is no such thing! 
It IS possible to highlight a tab, but the way this is designed, its as if the entire top section is one tab. I'm not sure how I could have any sort of highlight bit that wouldnt show up around all the edges of the dark bit, therefor making it look like both tabs were highlighted. As for making it taller, thats a possiblility, but then it really starts being obvious around the screen edges. I dont think it looks too bad...

Just toying with an idea here. Haven't had a chance to try it. What if you made the image for the tab a completely transparent .png, leave the tabs embedded like you have right now. Then for the selected one give the transparent png a bit of a glowing halo like the buttons when you mouse over? Might work, might not, worth a try.
