Close Button

The standard behavior of the X button is minimizing applications rather than closing them. Spb Pocket Plus allows you to change this behavior. Just after installing Spb Pocket Plus the X button will really close applications instead of minimizing them. But you can customize this behavior.

To do so you should open Spb Pocket Plus options, then open Close Button options and select the Button page. Now you can choose a desired action to be executed on

- Tap
- Tap-and-hold
- Gesture (tap the X button, drag the stylus, then release)

For example you can choose to close programs by tap, minimize them by gesture and show context menu by tap-and-hold (default settings). Or you can choose to minimize programs by tap and close them by gesture, etc.
