Indent tab in TabControl

Question

I'd better illustrate what I want to achieve.

Original: Desired:

original tab desired tab position

Any ideas how to draw tabs in this way? Thanks.

Is it puzzle to find how many character are in this picture?! — DeveloperX, Nov 14 '11 at 07:51
@DeveloperX, No, it's "Where's Valdo?". In case the question is not clear, the idea is to move the tab a little bit to the right. — Dmitrii Erokhin, Nov 14 '11 at 08:03
Do you want to do that in your own code or any third party components? — DeveloperX, Nov 14 '11 at 08:07
@DeveloperX I want to do it in my own code, but I'll appreciate any links to third-party controls which implement such functionality. — Dmitrii Erokhin, Nov 14 '11 at 08:15

You should set a margin for your first tab. Like this:

<TabControl>
  <TabItem Header="Tab" Margin="5,0,0,0" />
</TabControl>

Thanks for the links. However, as for now I'm using this component http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tabs/ThemedBottomTabNET.aspx . It looks promising, I've already managed to draw tabs the way I want and now it just needs some minor tweaks. – Dmitrii Erokhin Nov 14 '11 at 10:44
