The GUI is not finished yet but you can already create your favorite
tab and drag the components there.
That is the whole idea of this feature.

I have more ideas for the future. There could be pre-configured and
user configured component layouts to choose from.
The current tab names and component placements are not logical.
"Common Controls" comes from Delphi's COM-wrapper components which
makes no sense in a cross-platform system.
"Standard", what does it mean? All LCL components are standard IMO.
"Addional" or "Misc" do not mean anything.
Why the buttons and edit-controls are divided between Standard and Additional?
Maybe there should be tabs called "Buttons", "Edits", "Multi-line
text", "Graphics" etc.
