The do not have [OK] and [Cancel] buttons only a [close] button. Which type of windows should be used for settings of observers, and sessions ? The hig recommends always using instant apply windows except when: - the changes can take more than 1 second to apply. - the changes must be applied simultaneously. While both above reasons do not apply to the Observer and Session Editing windows. It can be argued that the changes are kind of high risk, and they may have an effect on the performance of the user's system. So it is important the request that they explicitly click [OK].
