This is awesome. Actually the inspiration was that items on the tab don't actually have to be on the lower tab area, they can be over the top of the tabs. I've attached an example of how it works just fine even without making the tab labels so small you can't see them.

It opens up some interesting design ideas by incorporating items to the right of the tabs. in the space that seems unusable.

Thanks!
