iPad Mini: Missing blue 'traffic light'?

IPad Mini A17 Pro Ver 26.3

Red. Yellow. Green. And Blue Traffic Light Issue

Correction…blue isn’t missing. It’s never been there. there Anyone else have an issue closing “traffic light” buttons on upper right in multi tasking mode? Or am I a love voice in the wilderness? Apple, special request….possibly just add one more button ie: “close” since it’s static and not floating?

I like this multi task mode but really dislike the fact that the button is located directly above x spots on ads in games I play, actively blocking me from clicking…and many other windows without closing the whole ap. There was one post saying it was relocated from the middle once already, I noticed. IMO..an absolutely a massive over site correction that clearly does not resolve the issue.

And….

Can you get that done by EOB please? Lol…just kidding…but actually….why not?

This can’t be the most complex UI adjustment for you, knowing all that you can do. Can I go into developer mode or something and recode that?

Thanks.
