Hey!
Recently I used this script for closing windows on my Mac:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Application"
click button 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell
But now it doesn't work. Can anybody suggest any way to close windows through the scripts?

There are two forms of this: 1) closing an application's front most window, or quitting the application:
use scripting additions
tell application "Application" to if it is running then close its front window
or
use scripting additions
tell application "Application" to if it is running then quit

Nothing there in dropbox. Some applications simply will not respond to AppleScript either, which may be the issue with Reference 4, or you are attempting to close a application prompt, that is blocking all other events until you click on it.
Sorry, here is the link one more time:
I found that in the left corner of "Reference" program there is no option like "Close the window" with shortcut "Command + W". It means that I can close it only manually by clicking red circle on the left corner of the program.
Or there is another way?
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Any other ideas?
I know the syntax I provided above works, as they were tested on the released Big Sur with real application names instead of the placeholder "Applications." What specifically does not work?
I have attached the link you to see that one of my programs' window closes (Splice), but the second doesn't (Reference 4 Systemwide). What can be a problem?
Manually clicking on a red traffic light in the application title bar may close the window, or depending on how the developer wrote the application, it could also quit the application.
Yeah. Is it possible to script this light?
No.
Did you see the video? Maybe somehow else it's possible?
