Remove 'X' from vim tab bar

Remove 'X' from vim tab bar

When using multiple tabs in vim, there is a bar at the top displaying the
tabs. At the far right of that bar there is an X. This is used to close
the current tab if use of the mouse is enabled; however, I don't use the
mouse in vim, so for me it is a bit of useless cruft taking up space.
With many tabs open, vim doesn't display the whole filename in each files,
only the last few characters. Getting rid of this X -- and the small
amount of empty space that seems to be reserved next to it -- would free
up a little bit of space. I would be interested in a method to simply turn
it invisible, but the ideal answer would give me a way to remove it
entirely and free up this space.
