Context
The napari plugin's sidebar is currently using a tabbed layout at the top. As we add more tabs (e.g. Events, Registration, …) the tab bar starts eating into the vertical space available for the actual widget content, which feels increasingly wasteful.
We need a more compact way to switch between tabs so that the sidebar can stay usable as the number of tabs grows.
Proposal
Replace the top tab bar with a more space-efficient navigation: e.g. a dropdown / collapsible menu in the sidebar header. A proof-of-concept is being explored on the feat/napari-top-dropdown-poc branch (see commit c76f571 — "feat: replace napari tabs with dropdown").
