1088742 - Download Progress Bar in Dock/App Switcher looks broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1148911

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Stephen Horlander [:shorlander]]

Attachment: Download Progress Bar in Dock

The progress bar on the Firefox icon uses the new thinner Yosemite progress bar but still has it inside a taller box with a white background.

Expected result: Just show progress bar with no background.

Relevant bug: bug 548763

Well, this is annoying. It's not clear to me that there's any general way to do this that works on all Mac OS X from 10.6 to 10.10. Unless someone can come up with one, we'll have to look at the OS version and swap implementations.

Either:
* On 10.10+, draw the white background differently. I don't know which areas of the progress bar are transparent, we'd have to figure that out.
* On 10.9+, use -[NSProgress publish] to make the progress bar appear. It would be on the Downloads folder (if that's in the Dock), instead of on Firefox's Dock icon.

I think you want NSProgressIndicatorThickness which should have the correct value based on the OS it's running on, if it doesn't that's a bug and we should report it.
