Close Button on Pinned Tabs

Jace edited this page Nov 9, 2026 · 1 revision

Shows a close button when you point at a pinned tab outside a folder, like Dia already does for tabs in a pinned folder.

Why use it

Dia hides the close button on pinned tabs that aren't in a folder. This shows it when you point at the tab.

  • Handy if you pin tabs and want to close them with a click.
  • Skip it if you like pinned tabs that can't be closed by accident.

Turn it on

Open Dia → Settings → Patches and switch on Close Button on Pinned Tabs. Or run:

diatweaks enable pinnedTabCloseButton

It's off by default. It works with tabs in the sidebar and at the top.

Works with
