I am not sure where you even want us to add these views.
The main editor view of course. Right behind the text like in Terminal.app’s pre-installed Homebrew theme.
Allan is right, it’s tricky to choose where to put those. I thought of having transparency only in the File Browser, like a sidebar app, but you had another idea. It’s not a simple unanimous design decision.
There are no “default system tabs construction”.
I thought that NSTabView https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSTabView_Class/index.html would be used by Apple apps to make those tabs, but I was clearly wrong.
Well, I guess we’ll have to wait a bit more on this, which is perfectly fine. :-)
