It would be totally sweet if the user interface for the tab bar were enhanced:
* Add option to display tab bar all the time (even when only one tab)
* Add option to display tab bar on bottom and sides of window
* Add optional new tab button on tab bar

I think these three UI enhancements would greatly improve the look and feel of this nice, fast terminal emulator.

Having an option to set tab title would be a great thing for newcomers. One can assign a shortcut to this action, but fresh users often do not know that, and double click is either that evident.

For the first 2 options there are already hidden settings: MiscAlwaysShowTabs and MiscTabPosition, please read the documentation.

The new tab button is not possible atm. since we cannot pack extra widgets in the notebook widget. IIRC there is a feature request to do this.
