>> Sorry, I don't understand the need to remove the highlighting code.

There was a clearly visible indication with raised images
on mouse pointer movements over the tab close buttons.

>> Now there is no visual feedback when the user moves the mouse pointer

The visual feedback was observable on GNU Linux build
with GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0.

Maybe there were no such effects on a Windows build?
