I read through the above two links. It seems that being able to resize 
the Tabs bar is something that was intended to be and might eventually 
get implemented? When I decided to try Single Window mode for the first 
time, I actually did expect that the Tabs bar would resize by dragging 
the edges, but of course it stubbornly refused to.

In multiple windows mode the Toolbox gets as narrow as you like in. But 
in Single Window mode the Toolbox width is determined by the widest 
docker. It would be nice to be able to make the Toolbox as narrow as you 
like in Single Window mode.

There are places in the user preferences where the relative size of 
thumbnails can be set. But those preferences don't seem to affect the 
Tabs bar thumbnail size in Single Window mode.

Thanks! for the links.
