Details
Mac OS X builds of Mozilla currently look like the ugliest WIN-DOS app. This is
totally unacceptable and a major hurdle for success within the Mac OS X
community. There's a reason to why many Mac users will judge an app's value by
its package design.
The solution is pretty simple: 1) license or whatever the Pinstripe and Navzilla
themes, and use them instead of the notoriously unusable themes that are
supplied now. 2) Change the M icon to the much better lizard icon found on
WINTEL (but brushed up to photo-quality). 3) Get rid of all legacy icons and
replace them with 128x128 icons in all bundles. I dunno if you are aware of
this, but Mac OS 9 is DEAD AND BURIED.
Keep the splash.

The "Classic" theme may use "native" widgets, but it still looks like a WIN-DOS
app to me. Oh well, you simply don't get it. You invalidate us, we invalide
Mozilla. You might as well drop all Mac builds right away. The majority of users
will _not_ customize with third party extensions, they want a usable and
attractive app to begin with. And that is the topic of this "general" bug.
Ask anyone in the real world, and you will often hear that they will not use
Mozilla because it is so damn ugly. They can't immediately grasp the
under-the-hood benefits, and since they think it's ugly, they won't learn about
it later either. They will just trash it and go back to IE. Neither will they
use any commercial instance of Mozilla, since they are all bloated and crippled
and even more ugly.
Man, when are you gonna _get_ it? You _continuously_ leave walk-over to IE...

Niklas, your suggestions in comment 0 are valid, but you should file separate
bugs for each.
