Pop out tabs?

[Cheyans]

Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but someone requested the ability to see chat and games at the same time. Maybe a more functional way of doing this is by allowing people to pop out tabs so they can view any tabs at the same time

Lovely! Can they be "popped back in"?

You can by closing the Window... I thought about which button or how to popp them back in and i think it is most intuitive to use the close button. I might also enable dragging them back though :#

This would fix #256 as well? But we had to make it look less ugly :)

Btw. I'm not sure whether it's intuitive that closing a window pops a tab back in. I know Google is doing it with Hangouts/Gmail but it still feels weird to me. Browsers to not behave that way, if you close a window, tabs are gone (but ofc. there is no "main" window in browsers)

For the record, this feature has been requested 5 years ago and has most recently be targeted to Java 10 - so not gonna happen in the next few years.

You could drag them back in. I don' know what to think about this pilot projects on YouTube I rather do it my self, because you need to set the themes etc. to the tabs and also wanna use the window controller implemented in the client. And they are all not fully developed libaries as it seems to be 😬.Further I don't now if having Tabs outside the tabPane in the main Application is of any sense. I will defenitely mange to let the tabs change position and maybe I can simply invent some new Button to pop them back in 🤔

Well not really planned and I wanna clean up
