On AmigaOS UI the most coherent place would be the left side because you already close other GUI elements (e.g. Windows) with a gadget on the left.

Putting close gadgets at the right of the tabs will confuse amigans since amigans have close gadgets at left. Putting the close gadget at the right on MS Windows is the best place since the user closes the windows with a gadget located at the right.

Anyway if the close gadget of the tabs was configurable problem solved for those people who is used to alien OSes with close gadgets on the right.

PS: Stanislaw has done a great work :-)

PS2: But I hope he makes the position of the tabs close gadget configurable and that he locates it at the left so it follows AmigaOS UI style.

Windows have gadgets and gadgets are not "decoration", gadgets are part of the UI.

Since on AROS the close gadget is part of the decoration stuff (and hence it is user-configurable), it can be either placed on the left or the right.


Then the close gadget of whatever element should be located in the same place to keep the usage uniform and to avoid confusion.

I frankly hope amigans are not so retarded to be confused by the ONLY gadget present on the tab (apart the title).


Some people may expect the user is not so retarded to require a GUI or "launching scripts" with fashionable names, but users like GUIs and good designed GUIs have uniform way of working without arbitrarities.
