Thanks! One notable feature of this patch on Windows and Linux is that it removes the transparency of the separators entirely, while previously the same separators had only a 10-15% effect, and the remaining 85-90% was the underlying color.

As far as I know this might be good and even make things better for the high contrast case, but given that the change is substantial I think someone with more experience on the theme like Jared or Gijs should review the patch.

10-15% of a very dark color, that is. --panel-separator-color (ThreeDShadow on Linux, ThreeDLightShadow on Windows) is substantially lighter than that color. Also, the background color is always white or some shade of gray with default OS themes. So the net result is roughly the same.

r=me if you agree with me and use --separator-color. Otherwise please request review again.

This variable should have a different name. It doesn't make sense reading the code that the panel-separator-color is used for the urlbar-search-footer.

Is this really just --separator-color ? That name would be fine by me.

Why does it not make sense? It's the footer of the urlbar's autocomplete /panel/. I believe Paolo also wants to consolidate this styling further across different panels.

--separator-color is too generic. E.g. we wouldn't want to use this for tab separators.

Okay, I didn't think about it that way. I was only thinking about "panel-separator" in terms of the subview left-border separator.

This separator color really is too light for the app menu in the normal case of non-high contrast etc. The darker lines were better for creating the edge of the subview, and now with the subview open there is not as much of a clear distinction between the subview footer and the main view footer, http://screencast.com/t/5PMCbwJNj

I think we should only apply ThreeDLightLightShadow when not -moz-windows-default-theme.
