GUI - Closing a tab

This may seem like a little thing, but for me, it's maybe a bigger deal as my eyesight is not as good as some.

I wish the gui would be changed so that the tiny faint gray "x" on the right hand of tabs, for adding a tab, and closing tabs we little buttons instead the faint gray little x. It wouldn't take that much room and it would be a lot easier on the eyes.

Maybe someday you will allow us to choose some skins for the interface to accommodate different people's vision and taste in the GUI. That would be awesome!

Thanks,

-John

The solution is simple. Make sure the window you wish to close has the focus (click on it) then use <ctrl-F4> to close it.

I would agree, and thank you, that that is a possible solution, but not my preferred one.

I would maintain that from a GUI design perspective, the little "x"s are hard to see and use.

Just my opinion and I thank you for yours as well.

For closing tabs in Logos 4 Windows, Thankful for middle mouse click option.

Keep Smiling [:)]

Also an X on the far right of the PANE and not on the TAB, which someone is trying to close is not intuitive and a departure from "industry standard."

This would be a much better solution:

Also with an "X" turning color (to red for example) once hovered over. I understand, that this may be a WPF limitation, but maybe it was the wrong platform to chose from INTUITIVENESS and design perspective.

<grin>Maybe Logos should have started with an Apple SDK</grin>[:)]

John ... what you suggesting would be almost frightening in the small community north of Seatle.

'De-coolification'.

Of course, my favorite Bible software (L3) is easy on my eyes, easy on my brain, and easy on my patience too!

Yes! With all due respect to the efforts of the Logos team and all involved, Logos 4 MAC is merely a port of a very unintuitive Windows product in my opinion.

Lots of good stuff here but VERY much a Windows application. So much of the application doesn't even follow Windows useability standards.

My main reason for sticking with it is the content, not the useability.

I also wish they had used the Apple SDK for the MAC product.

Yes, the former Logos for MAC was much easier to use!
