Windows 7 (x64)
SeaMonkey/2.24

This whole thread puzzles me.  Since tabbed browsing was introduced as
an inherent feature in SeaMonkey (not via an extension), I have not seen
any change in how tabs are closed.  There is an X at the far right of
the tab bar that, when selected, closes the current tab.  By "current",
I mean the tab whose content is in the view port (window).

I much prefer this over having an X on each tab, as Thunderbird has.
With my old eyes and hands, an X on each tab means I might close a tab
when I really wanted to select and view the tab to its right.

I have no red X.  I do have a white X in a red button, but that stops
the currently loading page from rendering.

Sure you do, at the top right corner of every Windows 7 application,
including SeaMonkey. (Well, actually, it's a white X on a red tile, but
let's not be too picky).


No, that is a black X on a gray button.  That is for closing the window.
  Immediately to its left is the button to change the window between
full-screen and "normal".  Immediately to the left of that is the button
that minimizes the window to the taskbar.  Each of these is a black
symbol on a gray button.

Of course, I have tweaked Windows 7 to make it look somewhat like
Windows XP.  I think the default appearance of Windows 7 is hideous.
But none of that is a SeaMonkey issue.

My win xp has a red square button with a white x in it at the very top right and in the old days with sea monkey I could click on it and the page I was looking at only would disappear, now it has a stupid extra bar taking up more of my viewable area full of tab rubbish that is annoying to me, I am trying to get used to using the x in that bar but keep inadvertently hitting what I have got used to. May be at my advanced age I should dig out an old version of sea monkey and refuse it permission to update.
