Close tab button scaling

[avivariba]

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it's definitely a wish:

The close tab button at Segoe 9 looks like this, which I personally find a tiny bit too small but not too bothersome (12px²):

Scrolling to zoom up one single step, to Segoe 9.6, makes it look like this, which most definitely seems to be too big (18px²):

I feel that either the button should scale accordingly or that, more preferred, there would be a way to manually set or adjust its size.

This looks wrong. Could you post your screen settings? Just type screen; into the address bar and press ENTER.

I just tested it without scaling too, in which case it happens upon scroll-zooming from Segoe 11.25 to Segoe 12 (also on my 1920x1080 monitor). By the looks of it, it's really only the closing tab button that has this scaling issue going on.

Instead of having it scale along or not scale at all, an option/tweak to set its size to a fixed px value (so that it's never too small or too big for one's liking), would solve it regardless.

The jump when going up to 12 is by design. But not at 9.6. I'll check what's going on.

What's your setting here?
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Show X close buttons on tabs

It must be the 125% scaling then. 9 * 1.25 = 11.25 and 9.6 * 1.25 = 12 so that lines up.

What's your setting here?
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Show X close buttons on tabs

Happens in all of the options (except for Never of course).

Yep, you got it.

But the X-close button as shown in your screenshot (white on red) only appears like this when you hover it (and that's good, makes a fat target). It does not look as big when not hovered.

Problem is that I prefer Segoe 9 (11.25 equivalent), or a little smaller even, but then the close button is too tiny (on hover also).

I agree. It should be 15x15. Next beta.
