In order to give more customization options, we're considering adding a property to change the tab shape. The goal is to allow anyone to create tabs with round corners.

To achieve this goal, we have two options:

- Go for a simple solution: add an attribute 'gadget_area.tab.shape' with values such as 'normal' or 'rounded'. The color of the tab would be set with the usual gadget_area.tab.selected.background_color and gadget_area.tab.unselected.background_color properties.
It's very easy to write, but it's limited (only a limit number of shapes, no fancy effects).

- Go for a more complex solution: allow anyone to use an image to fake round corners. The solution would require the image to look like http://www.netvibes.com/themes/garlic/img/tabs.png This solution allows extreme customization but is more complex (requires a graphics manipulation program, the template must be respected)

Tell us which solution you prefer. It will help us decide which must be implemented.
