109178 - Mac Classic uses hard-coded colors

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001110708, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
1.  Do either of the following:
    (a) Install Kaleidoscope <http://kaleidoscope.net/>, if you do not have it
        already, and switch to the Sherbet theme.
    (b) Boot Mac OS X.
3.  Start Mozilla.
4.  Wander around the UI.

What you should see:
(a) Lots of orange, orange, red, orange, and a bit of red.
(b) Lots of white, white, blue, white, and a bit of blue.

What you actually see:
(a) Lots of gray, gray, red, gray, and a bit of purple.
(b) Lots of gray, gray, purple, gray, and a bit of purple.

Mac Classic is using system colors for a few things -- toolbar button text, 
Personal Toolbar items, and shadows in tree/outliner column headers. However 
most colors are hard-coded, and shouldn't be. All colors used in the theme -- 
except those for indicating message priority -- should be CSS system colors.

The above patches won't fix the problem for buttons, checkboxes, etc, but they
should make a big difference for dialogs, toolbars, and status bars. Note that I
haven't tested these.

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.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

Since Mozilla is no longer supported on Mac OS X pre-OS X I am attepting to test
the remaining open bugs (all 175 of them).

The test client will be the Mozilla (SeaMonkeys) 1.6 running Mac OS X 10.3.2

Result/Status: Won't Fix, kaleidoscope not for OS X.

Mac Classic specific bug. This platform is dead. Not valid on other OS. Marking
WONTFIX.
