That was quick.  Thanks.

Looks interesting.  When I loaded it I got this message:
Wrong type argument: listp, :inherit

This is one offender:
(defface frame-tabs-higlight-tab
  '((t :inherit frame-tabs-item-tab
       :foreground "white"
       :background "green3"))
  "Face for highlighting frame tabs item."
  :version "24.4"
  :group 'frame-tabs)

But if I try `C-M-x' on that twice, the first time gives the error and
the second defines it OK.  Likewise for the other face defs.

Haven't tried to dig into it further - no time now.

(BTW, spelling typos: "higlight" -> "highlight".)

Wrt the function (and how I discovered its doc), I just used it in an
answer to a StackOverflow question.  Dunno whether my answer is
appropriate or a good use of the function.  Probably there is a simpler
and better answer.
