Thanks Alan, for your suggestion. I know the tabs can be put anywhere on the four points of the compass, and I have tried them all: I like them where they are, on the left hand side.
My question was if there was a way to lock them so that they cannot be closed - like the original 'Accounts' page has no 'X', though additional ones do. I agree with others that the 'Close' button could be moved, or better still done away with, I think it serves no useful purpose. Perhaps change it to 'Quit GnuCash' and really quit the program - on MacOS the red 'dot' does not always quit a program - with a confirmation dialogue window. But that is another matter, and what I am concerned with is my original question and the possibility of GnuCash being enable to do this, or not, and if not is it possible to add it at some point.
