Vote for this bug if you think modern should remain default. Don't close, as
long as bug #48205 remains open Ben gave me the OK to post this.

i have framemaker for win32 and for linux . for linux UI is blue ... and it look 
strange for me. netscape4.xx have very pretty face to change it with something 
blue.

Modern is memorable, it has well realizeable ideas in it and 
we should not be forever stuck with "old good" one.  This is new and
this should be used in a new product.  Dont take old user's associations
to a new product.

This decision is Mozilla-specific.  Reassigning to Ben.

no votes left, but i like modern better, too. Not because Modern were a genious
peice of UI design, but because of classic's shortcomings:
- I dislike the buttons.
- Classic Unix emulates Motif, which is completely outdated even on Unix.
I like the
- pixmap background
- hover effect
in modern.
