Is a "close" icon necessary in other platforms?

In iOS, one doesn't need to add a close icon for an app. In the rare event that one wants to kill an app they can do it via the OS.
When looking at the cocos2d-x project that is created by default when using the console (v3.1.1), the sample HelloWorld scene places a button on screen to "close" the app.
Is this actually required in ANY platform ? Does it make sense to add this button at all ?
Apple usually rejects on this and Google and Microsoft don't like it.
You can, however, have close buttons on menus or popovers (say, like a pause screen).

Adobe AIR window on second display?

I need to open some windows in my application on a second monitor. Is there any solution for this in an Adobe Flex/AIR desktop application?
Yes, there is. It's not exactly a 'chose control', but more like an option to know what kind of displays you've got: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Screen.html#screens
This way you can get the second display and then move your window to it.

How to give widget look to the application developed using tide sdk

I have developed a weather application for windows using html and css with the help of tide sdk.But i want to give it a widget look like windows desktop gadgets i.e i do not want the title bar and borders that windows applications normally have.
Secondly,please tell me the way of removing application from statusbar i.e its name should not be shown in status bar when application is running,similar to desktop gadgets.I can't figure out how to do this using tide.
Thanks.
"There are two types of transparency in TideSDK. Full window transparency specified with the transparency property and background transparency specified with the transparent-background property."

use air native extension to show a simple native button?

I'm mainly an AS3 coder and I know Java fair enough to be able to build my own ANE files for Vibration, Toast, dialogs and that simple stuff...
using air native extensions are cool but I'm getting a bit disappointed not being able to create a simple button with it.
I know creating a simple native button is a silly thing to do as it is very easy to create buttons in air directly but I'm using it as an example.
So the question is that is it possible to create .ane for calling native Button in android? at all?
it seems like I can't create any .ane files rather than abstract tools like push notifications or popup like windows like progress bars and dialog boxes.
is it right to say that a simple native button cannot be created with air native extensions?
for those who wondering why a simple button cannot be called with extensions, read http://adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/extending-air.html (scroll down to Limitations) where it says: Extensions cannot directly integrate interactive objects, such as native UI controls, with the display list. (Other items, such as native dialog boxes, may work, depending on the platform.)

Use what HTML gives you to draw this navigation. Or look for ready code for that.
