Details

the Go and Search button currently, unlike other navbar buttons.. has the look
of a common gui button. To be more consistant with the other buttons perhaps it
would be better to give it the same mouseover effect and remove the 'button' look.
UI design, then themes once the UI people make a decision.

Go and Search operate on the contents of the address field, while Back, Forward,
Stop, and Reload do not. If the two groups of buttons looked the same, it would
be highly misleading. Marking invalid.

V/invalid.

The problem with this is that modern has a grouping outline that puts the
location bar + go + search in an area. Classic does not, so the right side
(go/search + print + throbber) is inconsistent, especially in classic.
