Hi there! I think the look of the close button is a non-issue. If anyone mistakes it with a checkbox, with "x" he will mistake it for a marked checkbox... :) Further decoration would mainly add noise to a widget that is pevalent and constantly used without thought. Is this an area where a user can go wrong more than one single time after his very first Haiku session? * He wants to close an app. * Trained from every other OS, he looks for a widget in the tab. * He's smart and recognizes the size-related widget to the right: takes the left one -> bingo Or he's not so smart, chooses blindly and at the latest from his second try onwards gets it right. That's another reason why there should always only be two widgets in the tab: spacially separated left/right is much more muscle memory friendly than having to discern symbols. Putting up another minimize button, and maybe even another widget deluging the poor user with options like making sticky, send to workspace, change colour or whatever insanity, would rob us from this simplicity. Even I, experienced user that I am :), did have mouse-accidents in the past where I clicked Windows' XP red-X-button to close instead of the intended minimizer... Maybe the big fat red blob (+"X" will mark the spot) attracts the mouse unconciously.
