A way to hide "Tips" tab

Imago

As the title says, I want to hide the Tips tab and keep only the Info and Tags ones.

In some of the tabs, like Parameters I can click on the handle and hide it but in Content and Smart content I need that part accessible for the Tags and Info ones.

Basically Tips tab is useful only for the newbies... Anyone with more that six hours on DAz Stduio doens't need that that stealing pixels on the interface.

I don't believe it can be hidden, no. But I am not sure it is stealing pixels, the size of that section is the same with or without that tab.

It still gets in the way. I need the Info tab open all the time, Tips is always on my way, especially when I'm in a rush.

It looks like it get reactivated every time I change tab, for some reason. I go to read the infos about the product I have selected in the Smart Content and I see that "Video: Content Library" button. I'm a DAZ Studio user since more than 13 years, I don't need anymore that tab.

Please, give us the chance to hide it along the "Lessons strip"...

It's easy to make it hide Tips tab in Smart Content and Content Library by using a plugin. I made one for DS4.24.  You can test it if it works for you. Unzip the DLL file to the \plugins folder under DS application folder. Relaunch DS ~ 
For the Tips tab in other panes, you can just hide the info. pane for the time being... because making Tips hidden there may require rebuilding the structure of those panes...)

This is exactly the feature I wanted!
Switching from the Tips tab to the Info tab was always such a hassle.
Thanks, @crosswind !
