the XP hooking-up of the nsITheme stuff to the PaintCaret routine.

Moving the rest of Hyatt's NS_THEME enhancement requests to Future.

I'm guessing that this would be where we would pick up the control panel, access, seeing, set width of cursor setting.

I have tried to widen the cursor via windows accessibility options. It does it for word documents but does not seem to flow through into Thunderbird

Jane, you can set the caret width manually in about:config with "ui.caretWidth".

I guess for the caret width to honor windows system settings, this line of code needs to change:

I'm not sure if that's what this bug is about, though.
I guess this is about getting the css keyword 'caret' to work under windows for -moz-appearance:

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
