What I mean is _another_ tab widget, instead of the scroll-to-switch. It can't possibly be slower, as it's the same amount of work for Qt... So it would look like this (excuse rubbish ASCII art): +-----------------------------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------------------------+ | Log | Patch | | +-----| |---------------+ | | | | +-----------------------------| At the moment, you have a label in the top left of the text window that is mouse-clicked to change mode; I'm suggesting replacing that with a tab widget as above where you mouse click to change mode. It's no more operations, doesn't include a strange floating label and is a more standard and recognisable user interface. If you still wanted up and down buttons, they could very easily go to the far right of the log|patch tabs, similar to the "close" button on the top tabs.
