It's a pretty cool mockup!
I agree with what Leavengood said.
If both square and X are used, maybe the square should be slightly
smaller (same size as big box in right icon perhaps) and the X larger.
That way it could symbolize a crossed over window. A square that
becomes crossed over on hover would make sense, but I don't think it
solves the problem if one needs a button that closes something on a
toolbar. I think a small X inside the box looks even more like a
checkbox even if the Haiku ones would change, as people will have seen
the [X]-kind in other places.
The glossy tab looks kinda nice and certainly makes it pop out a
little. However I'm not sure it this is right for a tab, as they're
usually a thin piece of paper attached to something rather something
thicker (real world I mean). I also like the look when the tab blends
seamlessly with the window background/border but that might be a
matter of taste (though I think the reason is that I want to clearly
see what the tab is attached to). Maybe if the lower color, at least
on a grey window, were that of the window frame and the shine was made
slightly brighter?
Either way I think the shine would fit really well on buttons. Maybe
you could try sticking it on some for your next mockup?
