9) Here is the case which eats these famous 3 pixels. In fact we lose nothing, apart from the series of dots at the top of the screen, telling us that there is something in the level 8 of the stack. I don't think it is so important. Furthermore, this case gives a more finished look. Even with 7 pixel and 6 pixel font heights, the 56 pixels remaining for the stack won't cut characters.
In this example, I've added one pixel to the tabs, and shifted them by one pixel to the right, in order to improve visibility.
