+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1164178 +++

And Toolbox/Toolbar items are transparent and title bar is also transparent on Windows7 Classic Visual style.

No longer depends on: 1164178
Tracked this down to the following CSS: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/themes/windows/browser.css#132-141

@media not all and (-moz-windows-compositor) {
  #main-window[tabsintitlebar] #titlebar:-moz-lwtheme {
    visibility: hidden;
  }

  #main-window[tabsintitlebar] #titlebar-content:-moz-lwtheme {
    -moz-binding: url("chrome://global/content/bindings/general.xml#windowdragbox");
    visibility: visible;
  }
}

We need to override this for dev edition (since we just want the normal titlebar to show up).

Do we? Doesn't that push tabs out of the titlebar etc. ?

Since it's just setting visibility I doubt this will change anything with the layout (I could very well be wrong).  The main issue is that the #titlebar has that beautiful classic blue gradient due to the -moz-window-titlebar appearance, and right now that's being hidden for lw-themes.  In the DE case we actually want that visible since there is no background image to show.

Let me know if you think there is a better approach

Attached patch windows-transparency.patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Gijs, this patch fixes the problem for me in Win7 classic theme mode.  Basically here is what is happening to the best that I can tell:

* Lightweight theme is applied, with a transparent accentcolor and transparent bg image
* The #titlebar element is hidden with visibility:hidden (see Comment 2)
* If you click on the transparent region the click goes through to the OS and blurs the window.
* If I re-show the #titlebar element, the click doesn't go through to the OS but dragging it still doesn't work
* I also need to add a background color to the #main-window to get original functionality working

This feels pretty hacky, but I'm getting lost in all of the different issues coming up here.  Does this seem like a reasonable fix?  If not, any advice?

Based on further research and comments in Bug 1165383, I think maybe backing out the accentcolor change and instead handling that in CSS only when the compositor is available is going to be the least error-prone fix

Can you please confirm this fixes the problems you've been seeing with basic / classic mode?  This build can be simulated as Dev Edition if you select the Dev Edition theme from the Addons Manager and then restart the browser.

There's another build that's based on Aurora but it's not yet done: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=af8bc1da4cef

Attached patch windows-transparent.patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
I wish the lightweight theme system better supported transparent accentcolors, but it feels like the safest thing to do for 40 at this point is to back that part out and:

1) Land a separate CSS fix for the white titlebar issue on Win7 / 8 (the original report in Bug 1158872).
2) Land a fix to make the titlebar show up properly in the DE theme case when there is no compositor available (Win 7 basic/classic and WinXP)

So that's what this patch does.

Flags: needinfo?(alice0775)
This issue seems to be also be causing Bug 1165284, Bug 1165212, and Bug 1165383.  Seems like there are some very bad side effects from having a transparent background color on #main-window in Windows without -moz-windows-compositor.

As discussed in-person, I think we should also be setting the window background to var(--chrome-background-color) so it doesn't show as white in some cases e.g. fullscreen.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: 1158872
[User impact if declined]: Users running Dev Edition with Windows XP or Win 7 classic or basic theme will see a transparent browser window and that is broken in various ways (can't drag the window, flash video doesn't play)
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: CSS change only without tests
[Risks and why]: There is a risk that this CSS change could cause some other problems, although it's limited to Dev Edition theme and Windows XP or 7 with the basic / classic theme.  There shouldn't be a change for Win 7+ (normal theme).  We've also tested with mozscreenshots to make sure we aren't missing anything obvious in XP / 7 / 8.

This bug just hit me today - figured I'd workaround it by changing my theme but even that has issues: whichever theme I choose, after restart, I'm back with the dev.ed theme (i.e. the change wont stick)
@Russ: need to tweak about:config

This has been fixed in Bug 1164178, but is also awaiting uplift
It is time to back Bug 1158872 out from Aurora40.0a1

When this patch has landed and is going to be uplifted today or tomorrow? Doesn't make sense to me.
