 Ah; I assumed it used the normal wx.Notebook widget.

 Is there some reason why it must be a FlatNotebook rather than a
 wx.Notebook widget? The latter is a bit more clear about indicating hidden
 tabs: the arrows are larger, and there isn't any space (the tabs are
 enlarged to fill any additional space).

 Also, a wx.Notebook will provide a more native look, as it uses the
 platform's native notebook widget. It should also honour the user's theme
 setting.
