O.P. [Help] Resizing Windows that the tabs make? [screenshots]
I doubt many people use the tabs, but for those that do, I want my skin to look perfect for them too :P. Here is what my skin looks like with the contact list:

As you can see, there are spaces between the contact list and everything else. This is the intended way it should look.

Then when I choose a tab that loads a webpage (?) it looks like this:

Now there are no spaces between the contact list area (now a webpage) and the surrounding elements.

My question is, is there a way to change the padding of the things that the tabs open?

Not exactly the place to ask (or for me to explain) since I have a thread here for that: Click

But basically I replaced the elements with a 1x1 pixel 100% transparent image then I wrapped the desired sections in a new element that I created. Just a little trial and error, mostly with trying to get the boxes to stretch while resizing the window :P.

the way tabs load content is not anything you control unless you have access to the page that loads in the tab, its the main reason i don't really bother with them since they can act really weird sometimes.
