Where can one find a detailed set of instructions to set up and operate tabs?
Thanks

wim leersAll information you could ever need is in the README. It's just a matter of installing and the configuring your panels to use this style.

garpy commentedPerhaps I am looking at this in the wrong way. After following the directions, enabling all the appropriate switches, I just don't see any tabs on any of my pages. I do see the sections of the panels have the rounded corners and the look of a panel. Just no tabs to click anywhere on the site. I hope I am explaining it right. Thanks for your time. I would be happy to document my learning curve here for others to follow. I'm missing something simple I'm sure.
The following is the readme text I used:

Description
-----------
Configurable 'tabs' panel style. Provides 3 kinds of tabs:
- Normal tabs (horizontal filling disabled).
- Horizontally filling, equal width tabs: sets the width property, forcing
each tab to be equally wide. If the text doesn't fit in the tab, the
overflow will be hidden.
- Horizontally filling, smart width tabs: calculates the length of the text in
each tab and compares this to the total length of the text on all tabs. It
then sets the width property of each tab according to the percentage of text
the tab contains.
Dependencies
------------
* Panels 2 (http://drupal.org/project/panels)
* Tabs (part of Javascript Tools, http://drupal.org/project/jstools)
Installation
------------
1) Place this module directory in your modules folder (this will usually be
"sites/all/modules/").
2) Enable the module.
3) Go to the "Layout settings" tab of the Panels page, Mini panel, ... on
which you want to apply this style.

garpy commentedOk Here is the problem solved. You must pick a theme that has tabs. I would suggest including this in the README for DUMMIES like me. After rereading the README it does not appear to be included. Thanks.

wim leersOk, that *is* something very tricky. That's actually even a bug.
Good catch! :)

Gabriel R. commentedHello everyone,
the updated readme is useful, thanks for that. But it really should include some pointers for how to add or enable tabs support in the theme. I am currently using the Blueprint theme, with quite a bit of customization, and would love to be able to use Tabs without starting from scratch.
Thanks for your help.

sunYou perhaps realize that this issue was closed years ago and was against a version you do not seem to use...?
