Yeah, that is weird. there's no zoom button either, which I suppose makes sense. It's probably a Squeak VM thing, though. On Windows, there's an annoying "Are you sure you want to quit?" dialog, so I guess we're about even.

Re: Unfair to Mac users
i know this… I mean, I guess Command+Q would be quicker, but who wants to do it that way? I never do cause you never know if your closing the right window
That's my PSN ID. I know tons of COD4 glitches. Add me as your friend. Oh, and get a headset

It works on my Mac. I think you’re opening the .image file instead of the .app file. It doesn’t work when that happens. Same with the source code because it uses .image.

What if you accidentally pressed quit while you were working on something big and you forgot to save?

I only get that if I didn't just save, lots of things do that.

On Macs, Scratch 1.3 and below have the close button grayed out.
...I might also point out that this topic was made that long ago.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
