The icon for Mozilla on Mac OS X is a big M. Currently, if you click between the legs of the M, the icon is not hit and is not selected or opened. Since this icon is only used on versions of Mac OS which support 8 bit alpha masks, the space between the legs should be masked such that it is 99% transparent (rather than 100%). This will preserve the visual look while affording the user a larger area to click without any holes in it.

This version of the icon is identical, except that the spaces between the legs of the "M" have been made 99% transparent in the 8 bit masks. This means the hit mask (1 bit) is opaque between the legs of the M and clicking in the space *will* select the icon. This is much much more usable, as the user doesn't "miss" when clicking inside the legs of the M in the icon anymore. Visually, it makes no difference (you can't tell the difference between 99% transparent and 100% transparent). I note that debug builds use a resource based version of this file, whereas release builds (those packaged as .app) seem to use this file, renamed to 129.icns and copied into the application. Need a Mac build guru to let us know if we need to generate the resource version manually or whether the build system can do it for us. If needed, I can make the changes in the resource based version too.

Fixed icon
you need to manually update the resource file in the tree. the build system
doesn't do it for you.

according to bug 142031, the current icon is too big?

Hmm, I don't think it's too big, but that's not this bug, anyway. Can we get one of pink's friends to sr= this?

We changed the icon in bug 88393, so there are no longer any holes in the mask -> Fixed.
