Yes! Something like that!
Turns out I had three copies of the same "decompresssion" of the .zip file of the latest
version, meaning that the syslinks all pointed to the same original decompression... and
that one didn't have gmHorstSpace.py modified. Now with that modified, tabs are above no
problem :) Thanks for the feedback!

I have made it my purpose to understand wxPython better, have started writing a very simple
dummy program with wxPython to practice and learn. Should have more knowledge once I get
further along!

The hardcoded bits mostly! For example, how would one build the UI of a new plugin. Or if I
were to "clone" one of the plugins to tinker with.
Since asking the question, and specially just now that the modification of the tab position
worked, I have been able to glean that:
- plugins' "backends" and almost all the formatting are at wxPython folder
- those same plugins' GUI and the .py from where they are actually called are at wxPython/gui
It seems this is correct? For sure will be testing and tinkering, learning how things work.
Best regards,
María
