Feature Request: Add (or modify) skinnable lock state icon for use within tabs
Matt:
The distance from the left edge to the lock is the combination of these two:
FirstItemTextOffset
InternalMarginLeft

Well yes, but... just as the variable name suggests, it is only for the 1st "item", which in practice means it only applies to the 1st tab.
See the attached picture: For both tab layouts, the left/right internal margins are 9.
Tab row Top layout FirstItemTextOffset =-9
Tab row Bottom layout FirstItemTextOffset = 0
This clearly validates my statement above (that setting only applies to the 1st tab). It is because of this behavior that I use FirstItemTextOffset=0 for all my skins, otherwise the 1st tab does not match the rest of them. The green highlighting in this posts picture is meant to show how much relative excess space there is around the lock icon when there is no tab close button. It is that left side excess space I would love to see shrunk, but without compromising the space around the tab text for Unlocked tabs with or without close buttons.
Like I said, it is very difficult to come up with a combination of SplitTabView settings that works for all tab/icon combinations.
Matt:
For tabs other than the first tab, it uses OverlapRight plus InternalMarginLeft.

Yes… But then gaps between tabs become too large (for my personal taste anyway). We can go round and round on this all day, but trust me when I tell you that I have fiddled with these settings endlessly, and there is no combination that achieves the look I want. >:(
I am throwing in the towel on this one.

I'm just saying how it works. If you have a proposal, we're happy to listen. Thanks.
