本文通过讨论Eclipse中的Tab控件样式，引发了对于Windows系统下原生Tab外观的思考。作者指出，不同应用程序中的Tab控件外观各异，Eclipse的Tab虽然独特但是否与非原生性有关尚存疑问。

I came across an article on EclipseZone today that got me to really wonder what a native tab on Windows should look like.

The article takes the tab control of Eclipse for an example.

Eclipse’s editor and view tabs have a gradient-based rendering with the colors drawn from the system primary and secondary colors.
…
, whereas Eclipse’s tabs will always stand out a bit from the surrounding native widgets.

This actually is a good point. I myself find the curved un-anti-aliased zig-zag looking tabs very funny to look at. But is it actually anything related to non-native-ness?

Think about all the tabbed applications you have used on Windows. Firefox, Internet Explorer, MS Word, Live Messenger, Google Talk, UltraEdit, Notepad++, … God! I can’t even find two of them which have the same looking tab controls! Isn’t that so obvious that it’s funny?

So the only thing wrong with Eclipse tabs may be the geekish looks. People don’t complain about those glossy IE7 tabs anyway…
