X means close not minimize

[JoeWilcox]

Does anyone know of a util or hack that forces this. When I close something, I want it to close, not minimize.

From the home screen tap the HTC drop down, go to settings, click the button tab, change to "End programs by tapping "X".

Hmm, no dice. I should have said I'm running Valkyrie_v4.8 leo which is sense 2.5 and WM 6.5.1. There is an option under Settings | Task Manager | Button that says "Enable the "X" button to end running programs" which is checked then I checked "End programs by tapping "X"" which is also checked.

Neither option (Ending, or ending on long press) seems to close the program. Really sucks.

You could always try the app e-Natives Showcase. Tapping and holding gives you the option to minimize the window, killing the program, or go to a running programs list.

Another thumbs up for the showcase task manager.
I think I read somewhere that the reason the x doesn't close it is because the new 6.5 interface moved the X to the lower right of the screen, but the default task manager still looks for it in the upper right corner?

That's correct. Hopefully HTC will create another workaround once 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 eventually make it to devices (officially)
