127218 - bookmarks and history sidebar links ignore link prefs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect, P3)

The bookmarks in the sidebar are now rendered in a new way where they are in the
link colour and underlined like a link. Why? -- the previous version was *much*
easier on the eye.

This bug points out that if the preference is set so that links are not
underlined then the bookmarks should not be either.

Confirming on 2002022103 on WinXP.

The history and bookmarks sidebar tabs ignore all the link prefs (underline 
and colours).

Updating summary to reflect.

This really hurts my eyes :-(

I have a patch for this, I think it's in 114142. We're retaining the single
click model but losing the link effect.

Actually, this is future. None of our sidebar links will follow this pref for
this release, although the underline will be removed.

Why don't we have the links underline themselves onmouseover?  It's simple, and it
doesn't make the UI look gaudy. With the pointer/hand and a mouseover effect,
any user should figure out that it is a link.
