This module is already un-freaking-believable, but I think a feature worth looking into is transition effects. Barack Obama's website has a sweet example.

could be implemented along with #351008: Style improvements

@Pasqualle: How would you like to proceed with this? I think this issue could be for the addition of javascript transitions and #351008: Style improvements could be for improvements to the css tabstyles.

What do you think of using jQuery UI? http://plugins.jquery.com/project/accordioncontentmenu is an example that is close to the Outlook effect, and there are a ton more: http://docs.jquery.com/Effects and http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Plugins/category/22

1. the style system in QT needs to be improved as it now only accepts 1 css file
2. these special effects should be part of the style not a setting on the QT admin interface (I want to keep the QT admin interface as simple as possible)
3. I do not plan to add additional dependencies just because of one style. Styles should have their own simple js files. If one style requires additional modules (or it has too much code), then it should not be packed with QT, but a new Drupal module (QT special effects :)) should be created for the code heavy style(s), this way extending the list of styles usable with QT..

Issue summary: View changes

The tab rendering system should provide their own display options. IMO, the goal of any module including quicktabs should be to remove as much developer required interaction as possible. This means that if a display plugin can support adjusting transitions, it should provide the ability on the admin screen.

Bumping this to 7.x for further review.

With D7 EOL approaching in a month I'm starting to triage the D7 side of quicktabs queue.

If still an issue or needed for 4.0.x (latest branch) feel free to reopen
