Abstract
Tabs of a computer program running on a computing device, and tab groups, are organized over hierarchical levels. A lowest hierarchical level corresponds to the tabs, a second lowest hierarchical level corresponds to one or more of the tab groups that each directly encompass one or more of the tabs, and a highest hierarchical level corresponds to one or more of the tab groups that each directly encompass one or more other of the tab groups. Tab headers are displayed in accordance with the hierarchical levels. Each tab header corresponding to one of the tabs or one of the tab groups.
