That's because 'tabline' applies to the entire line of tabs, not just
the current tab. It doesn't go "over the entire tabline" and it
doesn't "make it invisible", it actually replaces the entire tabline.
This is your tabline. It doesn't draw over anything, it actually IS
the tabline.

If you're using a GUI Vim, guitablabel will apply only to one tab at a
time. But with 'tabline' you have to specify the entire line of tabs
at once.

Read the help on each of these. Also see:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Show_tab_number_in_your_tab_line

There's an example of 'tabline' in the comments. The tip itself uses
'guitablabel'.

I'm not going to code it up for you, especially not without a specific
description of what you want. Check the help and give it a try.
