With a new Substanse skin tabs are now taking the size of contact's nickname. So if a nickname is say "Ed", the tab would be very small, like [oEdx]. There are almost no gaps between status icon, name and close button. It is very easy to accidentally hit the close button. It is hard to manage such small tabs. Maybe we should decide on a minimum size for every tab. Like 100 px (like it was with older version). Or we can even create an option for users to set minimum and maximum width of a tab, so long names won't take up the whole tabbar.

Mass closing of all bugs resoved during 2.6.0 and 2.6.1

Can this be closed due to the large amount of Tab related work done by you?

Only the name. Like it was in the previous versions. Looks nicer, especially with short nicknames. This will also help with missing gaps between status icon, name and the close button. Though it will only help with short names. Longer names would still have no gaps? Again it will look better if there is some small space between status icon and name and between name and the close button.

What should be in the center? Only the name or also the presence?

Holger, can you also center user's name in the tab? Now it puts name on the left of the tab.
