I already do have a working topmenu with 4 buttons (new tiddler, control panel, save and close all tiddlers), see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2638511/TW5_Test.htm I only need a new 'close all' icon but do not know yet how to create - or borrow - one and embed it in a tiddler.

But one of my use cases ( http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2638511/Amsterdam_1822-2009.html ) contains more than 2500 photos. And that is one of the reasons I use tabs. It will be clear if you check the photo album, menu Diversen > Fotalbum, tab Nostalgie. If you click a photo an enlarged version of it will be opened in a new tab of the browser.
