no more X icon to quit the app on MacOS !

Feature Request

I wondered if this was a bug, but in reality, it’s just me making the same mistake over and over: clicking the “X” to return to the current application. But actually, it’s natural to think that way, because SmolPad is a “menu bar” application that launches when the session starts (and therefore remains active at all times).

I’d like the behavior of this “X” icon to be changed so that it closes (rather than quits) the SmolPad window (just like when you click outside the SmolPad window).

    @Ange thanks for the feedback, I’m going to make this setting off by default. And if off, then a close button will be in place of the quit button.

    @Ange If you go to Settings > General there is an option to turn off the Quit button.

      I’ve forgotten this option to display/hide the quit button, but better now if you propose (and let the choice to the user) to replace it by a close action !

      Thanks !

        @Ange testflight version should have a close button now that shows up when quit is turned off
