is there any way i can place the notebook tabs above the menubar?
if not,can i make custom tabs and how?

It sounds more like you need to customise your menubar rather than the notebook. Instead of attaching the menubar to a vbox inside the main window, attach it inside the notebook. This will require a new menubar with each tab though. This could make some really bad problems with a unity desktop where the menubar is placed off the window (potentially making multiples appear), but then you may be stuck with unity problems no matter how you go about it.
In order to avoid problems with unity compatibility you might be best to use some non-menu menus. E.g. regular widgets like the GtkExpander that unity won't try to relocate and can still function like menus

any examples?i want to place the tabs above the toolbar (:

sorry for bringing this up,but honestly,is there any way i can do that?is there any way i can clone the notebook and modify the gtk-notebook.c source code to place tabs on top and how?
