It seems to me someone already ask of that but I can not find the topic.

If you create a form with a TabStrip than add a ToolWindow, the headers are not the same size.

It has a particulary "bad look" if you add also a toolbar in toolwindow1 and tabStrip1.
You can have a look at SQLServer Management Studio 2005 for a sample of what I'm trying to build.

How can I have the same header size?

If you set the TabStripTabOuterMargin property to 0 on the TabStripRenderer that is in use for the tabbed MDI area, that will help.

You also can inherit one of our TabStripRenderers, override the Measure method for the tab and tweak things there. Then use your custom renderer in place of the default one.
