)close window gadget would be?

The main thing is to be sure to set the flag TOPBORDER in th proper
field of the gadget.

Also, you might want to place the gadget AHEAD of the Intuition system
gadgets.

I wouldn't advise placing it "over" the close gadget.

And, the trickier you get, the more likely your program will need to
be revised for future versions of the system.

The look of the title bar is one area which is receiving heavy revision.
