Close tab button..

I was asked on a forum how you close tabs in the message-window. The user simply did not understand that you just click the green/red icon, or even try to hold the mouse-arrow on top of it.

What I am suggesting is that the green/red icon sometimes (every 30/60 secs maybe) slowly fade into the cross, and then slowly fades back.

I think this creates an even more negative experience because the animation would seem to imply you need to wait for it to cycle, not mouse over to activate.

I agree. I think the current implementation is fine. It's one of those things that takes a minute to learn, and from then on it is never a problem.

Is Closing Inactive Tabs on by default?

If not, maybe it should; that’s how other apps work.

We had a lot of problems before with it on, with it off this is the first I've seen of it.
