83256 - Top of status bar should be aligned with top of window's grow box [mac osx]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001052904, Mac OS 9.1, Classic theme

To reproduce:
*   Open a Navigator, three-pane, Composer, Address Book, or message composition
    window.
*   Look at the right end of the status bar.

What you should see:
*   The 1px black line along the top of the status bar aligns exactly with the
    1px black line at the top of the window's grow box.

What you actually see:
*   The 1px black line along the top of the status bar is about 9 pixels too
    high.

This is a recent regression, probably caused by the fix to stop component icons
appearing off-screen after the taskbar went away. It makes the windows look
quite unprofessional.

Yes, I know.  This was the unwanted side - effect of fixing the cut-off 
taskbar buttons. The real issue is to fix all the images such that they do 
not take up so  much vertical space, and reduce the margins around the 
taskbar buttons.

You'll notice that modern does this as well only not as much.


Adding Marlon to cc list.
Setting Priority.

I'm going to file a meta bug for all the status bar issues and start knocking 
them out one by one.

Yep this is bad and is in my top 10 list of stuff for 0.9.2

that's not intentional.  it will line up once i am finished with the new taskbar

Marlon, I think making the icons any smaller is rather a bad idea -- they're
pushing the boundaries of recognizability as it is.

Why not do what 4.x did, and make the icons darker when they're clicked? (That
would require considerably less work, too.)

i don't understand, what do you mean by making them darker when they're clicked?  
how does that allow them to fit into 14px (height of Mac grow box)?   I agree 
14px is very short, but i have some that work fairly well (with the exception of 
the browser icon that is)

Like they are in 4.x. Like the `Home' button is in Seamonkey. And like the 
Security and Online/Offline icons should be (but currently aren't).

It means that you can treat them as icons, rather than as buttons. So they 
don't need a button border, or padding between the icon and the button border, 
or padding between the button border and the edge of the status bar.

o i c your point now.  i haven't decided yet on making it work the modern6 way.i 
may still use a button, but they'd behave much like the formatting buttons are 
now (which still need some work), wouldn't need the vertical padding.  i have to 
test the spacing out

The Mac OS 8/9 Mozilla is no longer supported.  Should this bug still be open?

Comment 12

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

This issue have been fixed for a long time ago. The resizer is now inside a statusbarpanel.
