List-view / Form-view design issue

[Don_Macaroni]

I made a nice IE9 dynamic tab header for view on all layouts, works flawless. Only thing... it jumps to the right a couple of pixels when going from a form-view layout to a list-view layout. This sucks big time, extremely annoying. Anyway, how can I turn off the couple of pixels on the left in list-view? (its the space Filemaker uses to let you see in which record you are). Check the picture, this gotta be doable...

The pixels cannot be turned off. I add a couple of extra pixels to the left in the form views. I do this by mimicking the little white bordered rectangle that appears in list view. It looks seamless.

I thought of that too, but flush to the left is way prettier than with the white space... But I guess not much choice.

You have 2 choices:

1) create the illusion that the little white border on the left is permanent and appears in both form and list views; or

2) make the form view the couple of pixels wider so it appears the white border appears only in list view (which is the default, kind-of)

If you think this is fun, wait until you try to do something serious with table view. My testing indicates there are tiny differences between FMP 10 and 11, and between Mac and Windows versions. I have table view disabled.
