On my Windows 7 there's a big huge bar behind the tabs. (This was also there on OS X, and that's worse because of the OS X menu bar which is unremovable)
I really really want an easy way to squidge that background bar down a bit.
This is windows 7. Notice that neither of them are maximized. The behavior you talk about only occurs when you maximize the window, not when it is "half-maximized" as shown.
