It can't be done. If you want to keep the tab, you'll have to redefine it as a regular section and explicitly include all your custom fields in it. This is good practice anyway. Once you have done it, you can move any of your custom fields anywhere else in the skin.

And how to do it, can it like this:
Code: [Select]
<row>
<column>
<label width="100" halign="right">
 <caption>IMDB Votes</caption>
  </label>
   <spacer width="10"/>
     <custom field="IMDB Votes"/>
 </column>
 </row>

For example, can it like this:

Code: [Select]
              <row>
                <column>
                  <label width="100" halign="right" valign="top">
                    <caption>IMDbID:</caption>
                    <font>
                      <name>Arial Black</name>
                      <size>10</size>
                    </font>
                  </label>
                  <spacer width="-7" />
                  <custom field="IMDbID">
                    <color>$D7FDDD</color>
                    <font>
                      <size>11</size>
                      <color>$006600</color>
                      <bold />
                    </font>
                  </custom>
                  <spacer width="10" />
                </column>
              </row>

Sorry, I'm not sure what your question is. I know you collect a lot of custom data, and therefore assume you know how to add a custom field to a skin. AFAIK, once you include a custom field in a skin, the special 'customsection' no longer works. It's purpose is to automatically display all custom fields in one section when none of them are explicitly included in the skin.

It is true, I know a lot about how to add custom fields in the skin.

                      <bold />
                    </font>
                  </custom>
                  <spacer width="10" />
                </column>
              </row>

This is just one of the ways for example, how to do it add in skin.
