The orange "selected" tab color conflicts with other colors.  Anyway to change the selected tab to Yellow or something bright?

I would actually like to experiement with all Black tabs w/white text. 

Another request:  Group tabs.  Have all my idle tabs grouped into a "IDLE" tab with a drop-arrow on the side.

Another request:  Adjust size of the tabs.  I have a large resolution screen.  The tabs are super tiny and tough to get your mouse on them.

Another request:  I have this stupid habit of adding another table/graph to an existing tab and end up screwing up my display.  Other than reloading the workspace, any way to "smartly" organize all windows within a tab?

Another request:  It would be nice to "zoom" on the tables.  Again, trying to select a tiny dot on the table adjust is tough.  Sometimes the table is extremely large while my adjustment points are extremely tiny.

about tabs: there will be improvement on it, probably after v1.0
adding table/graph to existing tab: We've noted this and it's in the todo-list.

about tables: there are currently two display modes for table: "Auto Table Sizing" and "Font table Sizing". The two buttons are on the toolbar of the table display.
"Auto Table Sizing" will make a table larger.

forgot to mention, you can assign hotkey for tabs like "Ctrl + 1" so you don't need to always "click" on them.

Hotkeys are great.  I'm "that" user that will cruise with the laptop on the passenger seat and am trying to make it easier for me to get around the software while on the road (as dangerous as it may be).  Usually its simple operations, anything more intense and I'll have to pull over.

I think I solved my problem by switching the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1280x768.  Everything is "bigger", fonts, tables and 2D charts.  Easier to read from when sitting on the passenger seat.

The table sizing works fine, although auto table sizing almost always makes the font super small, thus a pointless feature on my side at this point.

But, the 2D table could use some resizing.  Just as you can zoom-in on the 3D table, it would be nice to zoom on the 2D.  Again, partially solved by lowering my laptop resolution.

The tabs are growing on me.  I have noticed a lag when switching tabs.  This happens only when connected to the ECU.
