Stephen, can I use the same arrow icons as on OSX (svg) or would you like to provide me with different ones?

Yes, you can use the same icons.

While you are here, why not use them on Linux too?

Hm, should we add an outline to the SVG icon so that it's visible on different backgrounds? It currently seems to use just a single fill color. We could also use -moz-dialogtext as the fill color, but we'd need to take care of lightweight themes too.

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

Good point! Let's ask Stephen if he wants to adjust the SVG - in case a drop-shadow style outline is preferred - or define a stroke. In any case I'd like to know the color value of this stroke.
Lightweight themes are not applied to the findbar.

[Dão Gottwald [::dao]]

If lightweight themes aren't a concern, we can just use -moz-dialogtext instead of #4c4c4c, right?

That should probably work. I think we are applying a gradient overlay on those buttons though. So that would probably need to be removed or the effect reduced to avoid potential conflicts.

-moz-dialogtext is rather black on my windows box... is that correct? And if so, is that the intended look?

Comment 11

[Dão Gottwald [::dao]]

It's in fact 100% black with default settings on Windows, just like the text in the find bar. Matching the text color sounds right to me.

I agree with Dao, this should be -moz-dialogtext and it will be fine that it is black. As it is right now on Windows 10 they are a dark navy blue which doesn't match any of the other colors in the findbar.

I think this will work fine. If we find that it's too dark, we can still reduce the opacity.
