This is an addon for connecting to Guitartabs.cs, Olga.net and Ultimate-Guitar.com and retrieving tabs.

Entering your search terms couldn't be easier: the name of the artist goes in the "Artist:" editbox, and the name of the song goes in "Song:". The drop-down listbox "In:" allows you to choose which of the three websites to search, and the "!" button performs the search. I was slightly confused about the function of the "!" button and I feel a simple "Search" or "Go" would have been a better choice of caption text.

The dialog is laid out very well, however there are some minor drawbacks. The "header" at the top of the dialog is a tad too large, taking up valuable desktop space. The design of this header, however, is very visually pleasing, so the two kind of offset each other.

The "Preferences" button shows a hidden area of the dialog containing a drop-down list of available fixed-width fonts, allowing you to choose the font and font size for viewing the tabs. Three other 'spinners' for R, G and B values (red, green and blue) allow you to customize the background color for the tab viewing area, and a colored square on the right-hand side of the dialog allows you to preview the color. Missing from this section, however, is an option to change the text color.

To open the dialog you must issue the '/tabs' command. Some popup menus in the status window or menubar would have been a nice addition.
