[QUOTE="whiteunibrow, post: 779507, member: 80142"] So, here is my understanding: (by the way i have a Macbook Pro with OS 10.5) If an app has a window open, you can click the red x on the top (or command-w) and close the window. But that doesnt close the application. The app still takes up some ram. If you want to exit the application entirely, then you need to go to the top bar by the apple, click the name of the app, and select "Quit [name of app]" or do command-Q. I think that is really inconvenient. Is there a way to configure my laptop (or my apps individually) to make it so that if i close the last window of an app, either through red x or command-W, that also quits the application so i dont have to worry about doing that myself?
