Safari 4 - How can I get smaller Tabs back?

I used to have 23 Tabs open. Then came the update to 4.0.
Now I can only access 18 Tabs - the rest can be found under the >> menu.
How can I make the Tabs smaller so that all 23 fit again on the screen width?

iMac 24/2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Apple changed the look of Tabs with the final version of Safari.

Download/Install 3rd party add-on Glims. When installed, you'll find Glims options as a separate panel in Safari Preferences. There are more options for Tabs including a smaller sizing. Also, many other useful features to enhance Safari.

Send feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple and let Apple know what you think of S4.

I've just downloaded and installed Glims, but can't find
an option for smaller sizing. ???

BTW For me Glims is a bit of overkill - I would need help
for many options to fully understand them.

Hi Hawaiian_Starman, could you please answer?
I'm afraid it will not work...

Thanks, I've uninstalled it.
(It didn't work manually - had to use the uninstallation program from their website.)
