"Yes, "All Notebooks" just shows all *open* notebooks.
How should ON present notebooks that are closed?

A bit different:
To "close" a notebook means that it is no longer loaded in ON.
What you call "light version" does not close the notebook at all. The
notebook is still open and active in ON.
Just the presentation on the navigation pane is different.

It's easy enough:
The navigation pane shows all *open* notebooks.
If there is a bar with the notebook's name, the notebook is open.
Clicking on the bar with name just unfolds the register or closes the
view of a notebook's contents.
