Let MM4's tabbed user interface be like Google Chrome.

MM4 is clearly heading for the tabbed-interface design paradigm. A great thing. It would be perhaps really slick to have it look totally like Google Chrome. The advantage would be that many people are comfortable with the way Chrome works and then learning MM4 would be easier. Additionally, it would make MM4 look even more clean and neat.

Practially, this means moving the file-edit-view menus a row down.

An interesting read for the Mediamonkey's developers:
http://www.chromium.org/user-experience

Some points that make sense to me:

The frame is the area behind the tabs - this is the 'convenient grouping' area for our tabs. We wish to avoid including things within the frame (such as branding elements) to work away from making the frame feel like a container

Rather than enforcing a minimum size, tabs continue to shrink as tabs are added - this was found to be more satisfying than forcing users to swap to a different tab management model at some arbitrary cutoff point. It is also assumed that users with a large number of tabs will be more able to manage those tabs

That article articulates quite well what I have been thinking for sometime now. Nice find!

Again, to make MediaMonkey more like Chrome I would suggest mapping the "back to previous view"
to the mouse-back button. There's actually a topic about this all ready.
