Apps Tab tutorial Layout confusion??

[Mr.Boyd]

I am new to Android development, and am trying to implement the Tab layout as directed in the Tab layout tutorial on the site. I've done everything and have finally got it to run fine on my device and emulator. However, it doesn't look the same. Mine is boxy and the picture they show on the tutorial is just better looking ha. I have the minimum device to '7' in the manifest.

note: I did use the same microphone image for simplicity to start out.

Thank you for any help!

Sometimes how things look depends on what version of Android you are running. After I updated from 2.1 to 2.2, I saw some visual differences between various apps.

Thanks for the reply. Yea after fiddling around and running it on a 1.6 emulator it does appear Android 1.6 imo has better tabs than 2.1 and 2.2! Super lame...
