Nope, it doesn't have "close button" per tab support - at least I
could not find this in MSDN.

Also the tab position (left|right) rotates the text vertical under
Windows. This is definitely not easier to read than normal horizontal
text (preferred). For example, GTK2 and fpGUI, the tabs left|right
position still keeps the text in the horizontal orientation. In fpGUI
the left|right tabs can grow to text width (default) or can be set at
a hard-coded width and clipped tab text will appear in popup hint, or
the user can resize the tab width at runtime to suite there personal
needs.

I had to hack my Lazarus IDE to get the following:
