135776 - Windows XP classic themed buttons that have menus are ugly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 127453

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Aaron Kaluszka]

With the classic theme and Windows XP style, menus that have a menu (Back,
Forward, Print) look very odd because the menu part of the button and the main
part of the button are skinned inconsistently.  The buttons need to be redone
somehow so that they work like IE6.

Phoenix/Qute theme seems to have a solution.  I'll look at that implementation
and see if I can fix the Classic theme.

This has nothing to do with changing themes.

The screenshots in this bug and bug 127453 are actually a bit different. With
this  bug, the right part of the button with the drop-down arrow is actually
somewhat themed, whereas with 127453 it isn't. I do belive these bugs are
probably the same thing, though, and I must also admit that they do look a bit
"ugly." However, the Qute theme for Mozilla Firebird does display them
better--but not perfect. At least on the 4/29 nightly, the button only appears
to be split when you hover the mouse over the big left half, not the arrow on
the right. But it does display the buttons correctly when it tries to, and the
theme does solve both this and the 3D menus (which should be flat on XP Luna)
problem. (I wonder if they still appear 3D on classic windows like they should.)
