There are a bunch of those utilities that close applications when you click the the red close button. You may also want to overload the default behaviour, and to make it like in Windows OS, but you need to use separate utilities (like RedQuits).
For unresponsive apps: Force Quit ( ⌘ cmd+ ⌥ alt+ esc). Using Activity Monitor: Applications> Utilities> Activity Monitor. At the bottom of this list is the Quit option. Using contextual menu (or application's menu): Go to the Dock at the bottom of the screen and find the icon for the app, then right click (or ctrl+ click) to bring up the contextual menu. If you want to quit the app (release the memory, reduce CPU usage, etc) then there are several ways to do this: If you want to quit an app, click the app’s name in the menu bar, then choose Quit. When you close an app’s window, the window closes, but the app remains open. Here's more information from Apple's support pages: When you press X button in the window - you actually close the windows related to the app, but it does not quit. :max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/DiskUtilityRestoreYosemiteInstaller-56a5d4b05f9b58b7d0de9f83.jpg "how to exit os x utilities")
One of Mac's most confusing features is the red close button, which you think would shut down an application but often doesn't.
