'''Move the button down'''
*Pro: Frees the recognition-relevant upper-left part entirely.
*Contra:
**The target area has probably to move down a bit too; needs testing on a touchscreen-device.
**One Problem that could occur is that people will probably be more likely to tap below an item (they still see it) than to tap above it (it covers even more than usually). The availiable target area could become too small because of that.

*Pro: Very fast preview, since one could just go over many tabs in one move. Even very shortly displayed content is recognized (siehe: Processing Speed In Cerebral Cortext– Rolls Tovee – 94) It could be triggered with long-tap too: It would trigger a kind of preview overlay and moving to another tab while down whould trigger its preview to occur than.

*Contra: Could get in the way of future attempts to make tab-resorting possible. (not applying to long-tab-triggering or a drag in one of the modes in vertical direction first) May confuse users (?)
