Clumsy User Needs Option for closing tabs

Postby prpetitt » Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:38 pm

I really like the new UI, and appearance. But I have spent more time restoring accidentally closed tabs than anything else. Can we have an option to remove the X's and require a right click + selection to close? Thanks

Next beta will have a lock to lock the GUI down (prevent inadvertent drag and drop). I can look into making the X's optional.

The Lock will help if it prevents closing the tabs too. m Thanks for all the hard work! :D

Now that the TS mentions it, yes, I too sometimes accidentally close a tab. Would be nice if it were indeed possible to prevent this.
