Windows:
- Workspaces for more information. With this enabled, OmniWeb will make sure you're presented with a browser window when it is launched. See the section on
- Standard Mac OS X application behavior is to either create a new document window or to un-minimize a minimized window when the application icon in the dock is clicked if there are not any open windows. With this option enabled, OmniWeb will not do either of these things when its dock icon is clicked.
- With this enabled, OmniWeb will prompt you when you try to close a window that has more than one tab open within it. The prompt gives you the option to cancel the close, close only the current tab, or to close the entire window. This can be useful to ensure that you do not accidentally close a window with many open pages. When this option is enabled and there are multiple tabs open in a window, it's close button will contain a solid dot in the center (like that for an unsaved document in other applications).
