Description _ jrichard 2003-11-28 20:14:48 UTC

Currently, with the 20031127 dev build, there are
two styles of window closing icons, one for editor
tabs and one for window tabs.  The editor tabs use
a small 'x' without an etched border.  The other
windows use a bold capital [X] with a bold etched
border.

I'd like to suggest that there be just one style
of editor closing icon.  IMHO, it should be the
same as that currently used for the editor tabs.

Which look and feel please? I expect that Metal. Current impl is OK
from the point of view of Visual winsys spec, see at
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/ws/ws_visual_spec_metal.html
So I would close this as wontfix, but reassigning to visual UI expert
first for final decision.

I realize these screenshots were taken with XP L&F, the close
buttons here (http://www.netbeans.org/images/screenshots/4.0/Outline.png)

aren't "normal" native XP MDI close buttons.  Since netbeans "windows"
are no longer MDI windows, there's no reason (IMHO) to continue using
the MDI close buttons and it's possible to go with the cleaner looking
close...

There's no border on close buttons in non-editor tabs.
