While probably ignoring the Aqua GUI standard here, but could the 'red' 
dot / (X) close box work as follows:

red = Unsaved document
green (or other colour) = saved document

active document would remain as it is in b7.

That way we could see instantly which doc's are unsaved when we work 
with a gazillion tabs open.

If the above could be done, then I'd prefer the (X) rather than the 
dot-bubble-thing.

Mine too !!

That would be nice, but surely not anything that's urgent. IF it can be 
done easily and quickly then by all means do it.


Kind regards,
