Change tab height in a TabView?

Is it possible to change the size of the tabs displayed in a TabActivity? I'm currently only putting text in my tabs and I'd really like to minimize the size as much as possible.

Also, is there a way to use icons for my activity that aren't 48x48? I'd like to do something more rectangular as opposed to square. I just want to use my screen real-estate the best I can :)

How is the YouTube app doing this? (See screenshot, and yes I know that the YouTube app isn't open source)

It seems that they're also making it possible to scroll left and right for more tabs. Any ideas on how they're doing this?
