var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ 
	icon: 'home.png',
	selectedIcon: 'home_s.png',
	title:'Window 1',
	custom: true, window:win1

//
// This for loop is OPTIONAL it will allow you to access the new tab bar to hide and show it
// from within any tab via Ti.UI.currentTab.ctb.hide(); or Ti.UI.currentTab.ctb.show()
//
for(i=0; i<tabGroup.tabs.length; i++) {
	tabGroup.tabs[i].ctb = ctb;
}

	ctb.hide(400);
}, 1200);
