You may need to create you own custom TabBar, by inherting it, and adding more features to it.

add more implementation relavent to mouseEvents, paintEvent, etc.. on top of exsisitng TabBar.

If you want your image to show in the forum then upload it here rather than use a third party host.

If it should look like a tab then I'd start by making it a tab.

Add a tab with the tabText() "+" as the last tab. When the currentChanged() is emitted with the "+" tab index then insertTab() a new tab before the "+" tab, i.e as the second-last tab, then switch to it. This approach works but becomes awkward for the user when the tab bar starts scrolling. If you put the "+" tab first then it will never scroll off-screen.

If you put the tab bar and a "+" QPushButton in a horizontal layout then you can have a permanent add tab button independent of the tab bar scrolling but you lose the automatic "looks like a tab" and it is always positioned far-right (or left).

BTW: The button in Firefox moves to accommodate the new blank page.
