Sorry, I needed that for TheIDE, so I implemented the custom Ctrl...

(Nothing too complicated, 250 lines of U++ code. See RightTabs in uppsrc/ide).

OK, I see many people including me would likely appreciate generic Ctrl like this. The trouble is, generic is much more complicated that special case and, even worse, XP theming API does not support other than classic TabCtrl....

One of solution could be painting tabs in buffer and then rotating that buffer. Rotating about 90 * n degree should be quite fast.

Yes, I was thining about it, the problem is that you would have to rotate the pane as well, otherwise theme elements would not fit. As the pane has top-down gradient inside, I am afraid that result could look a little bit off...
