Close windows with just one click

J.One · 2011-09-04 15:23:45

Hello Guys,

I was wondering if its possible to close my open windows in the same way i close my tabs in Firefox. (without opening them first)
In Firefox, Chromium, Opera... you can close tabs very easy by just clicking in the "X"(we all know that), and i would like to do the same with my active windows in XFCE. Now I always have to "right click" and select "Close". And this is really annoying especially because the tabs are right under the active windows, so it would be a lot easier to operate them in the same way.
So what i would love is to see the same "X" on the "tabs" of my active windows. Is this option available in XFCE?

XFCE Version - 4.8.0
Distro - Xubuntu 11.04
Slickness Black Theme

Thanks in advance,

Please post a screenshot of your window, it doesn't make all sense. All xfwm4 themes have windows buttons to minimize/maximize/close the window.

I think that the OP is talking about closing windows via a single click action on the panel. This would require a close button area added to each item in the windows buttons panel item, or possibly allow the user to select an action in preferences to be performed on middle click.

Yes, this is exactly what i mean. Is this possible?

I have never seen any desktop with such a feature, you will need to write your own panel plugin I think.

You could try tint2 as your panel task switcher. It allows you to specify what actions to take on each mouse click.

Have a look at

for configuration options.
