I prefer old look of tabs in Source Editor of Lazarus 2.0.1. I have
failed to find IDE settings to achieve the same look in new Lazarus
2.0.11. Any hint is greatly appreciated.

p.s. In new Lazarus I do not wish to see tabs with bold text, and I
would like to have visual separation of tabs. Both things should look
the same as in old Lazarus.

I think you installed the "packagetabs" package. Before you uninstall
move the tabs to the left ("Tools" > "Options" > "Editor" > "Pages and
Windows": "Source notebook tabs position" = "Left") and check whether
you like it: This way the tabs are listed vertically like in a listbox
and you can see a huge number of tabs without scrolling. Since the
tabs are grouped by package and sorted by name you can very easily
find a source window in large projects. For this reason, this has
become my standard tab configuration.
