from the page:

Your picture is almost black on black, even if I view it outside the 
page (full size) => I can not see anything

Anyway try to compile with -dWithSynOverviewGutter
It gives an overview of some elements:
- implementation vs interface
- the yellow/green changed line indications
- position of bookmarks
- position of breakpoints

=> It is meant to one day indicate the locations of errors and warnings.....

Not the same, but:
using docked ide, you can use several source-edit windows, docking all 
in the same window.
Instead of docking them next to each other, dock them so they each have 
the full space, and a tab.
Then you have one row of tabs with the source-edit-windows; and in each 
of them your selected editors.

Tab drag/drop may not work that way, but you can use the context menu to 
sort the editors...

oh, yes, it is / will be.
some ideas where already on the list....
