Well I do not have a sketch. But what I trying to accomplish is being able to control outer tabs separately from the inner tab . different colors width. Also if you have noticed the inner tabs are vertical .

Is that possible to shift inner tab somewhat outside so it looks like there are tabs horizontally and vertically sticking out from 1 box
