A new bullet-style dirty indicator is available that overlays the tab's close button when a view or editor has unsaved changes,
33+
replacing the leading asterisk (`*`) in the tab title.
34+
You can enable it via `Indicate unsaved changes by overlaying the close button` in `Preferences > General > Appearance`,
35+
under `Dirty indicator for view and editor tabs`.
36+
The setting takes effect immediately for all open stacks.
