Now, I don't know how many charts people keep open, If its a large number, then I guess the tabs would start to eat up a lot of screen space by themselves. So, I could imagine some refiinement to the idea might be needed for handling a large number of charts. In that case, you could maybe do something that looks like the Windows start menu, where you click on the chart selector menu, and a tree list of open charts would show up.

Because I'm a programmer myself, and because I like to screw with things, perhaps too much, I wrote an "experimental" tabbed user interface for NinjaTrader charts. I have to call it experimental as the menu bar doesn't work when I stick the windows into a tab. And there are other issues with cosmetics. But, it mostly works otherwise. I've got a printscreen below.
Notice the two tabs, "NZDJPY(1MIN)" and "$EURCHF(1MIN)". I can click on either of those tabs, and that is the chart I see. I can add up to 100 tabs, which is what I set the limit to.
You can at least see roughly what I'm suggesting. I'd e-mail my program to anybody that wants to play with it. But, as noted, it doesn't work perfectly.

stellar contribution!
I have recently tested TabMaster and I find it to be extremely useful.
The program has been enhanced massively by its very capable author since my last test early last week.
The new features (that I have not used yet) are said to include:
1. Ability to hide titlebar on windows within TabMaster.
2. A "detach" option to manually detach a tab.
3. Hotkeys to go forward/backwards through the tabs. The hotkeys
are Ctrl-Alt-F11 and Ctrl-Alt-F12.
4. The titlebar for Tabmaster itself can be hidden.
5. The right-click menu includes option to minimize, maximize so that one does not need a titlebar.
5. Ability to grab specified windows.
6. If you run multiple instances of TabMaster, and put, say, 5 minute
charts in one instance, and 15 minute charts in the other instance, it
automatically links these. So, if you display the AUDCAD 5 min
chart, then it will automatically select the AUDCAD 15 min chart in the
other instance. (Assuming of course that you have such a chart grabbed
in the other instance)
7. Automatically restores window positions when it detaches
Some of my personal observations about "TabMaster", based on an older release:
My initial test environment was Win2k Pro, sp3 with NT 6.0, Tradestation, and an early version of TabMaster. Everything worked very well for me.
I also use a freeware program called "DeskPins" to pin windows, and it works well with "TabMaster".
There was some prior discussion in this thread about the loss of a chart window's titlebar functionality after it has been added to TabMaster. I observed that it is easy to RMB-click on any NT chart inside TabMaster in order to access working versions of the same tools that also appear in the title bar. If window linking in NT was applied to a chart before the chart was added to TabMaster then the links apparently continue to work even though other titlebar features seem to be disabled.
Of course, I observed no loss of titlebar functionality on NT windows that were not added to TabMaster, such as Control Panel, Market Analyzer, DOM, etc.
In my opinion, the author of this program has made a stellar contribution to the NT community!

But, at least as far as tabbed charts, my TabMaster program is coming along very nice. Send me a PM and I'll shoot you a copy if you like.
