Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

yesterday I opened NS 4.7x and it was like returning home...
really, the classic theme isn't the same.
i think that perhaps this can be implemented in Firebird, as it is completely
xul-based. but i'm not talking about putting a home button or not; for example,
the place where the component bar is located, and the ability to minimize and
maximize it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




hey... this method of requesting features is really strange and hidden for the
majority of end-users.
in the past we had the NS forms for requesting features, but that is gone :`(
if the objective is to offer Mozilla as an end-user product, in replacement of
NS, an "FeatureZilla" section should be implemented.

"move up things" You're asking what ?

I guess you want to move the component bar to a different part of the interface.
Thos looks a bit like bug 92077 (floating component bar), but was set to
WONTFIX. Or maybe bug 47418. Hiding/showing the bar works in the browser, but
not in mail or composer : bug 83059.

Galileo:
can you please reply to the questions asked by Jo Hermans?

Your bug description is too generic and if you're unsure about how to use
bugzilla you can go to the forums of mozillazine and place your report there.
This way other people can try to help you by pointing you to the solution of
your problem or to existing bug reports that ask for the same feature.

Last but not least: this is Mozilla, not Nestcape 4.7 so you have to accept that
things change, indeed Firebird includes biggest changes and it will be the main
trunk of development in the future.

wontfix.
Themes have ability to hide UI or change their appearance, but they cannot
re-arrange elements or change parents (move from bar A to bar B). This has to be
done by extension.
