201835 - Use lighter color for whitespace nodes

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Other Applications :: DOM Inspector, enhancement)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

When whitespace nodes are displayed, they should be lighter blue than other text
nodes, in order to be less in-the-way visually.

bz: for this bug, it would require hacking inIDOMView to return a different -
moz-tree-cell-text() style rule, which the Modern and Classic skins would then 
need a patch to for the new color code.  How would we go about that, if we were 
to add this feature?

jruderman:  how would a lighter color be less in-the-way?  I don't quite follow 
that argument.

Scanning the tree, I think it would be easier to ignore whitespace nodes if they
were closer to white than other nodes.

See
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/inspector/base/src/inDOMView.cpp#306
and
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/inspector/base/src/inDOMView.cpp#105
and
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/inspector/base/src/inDOMView.cpp#125

Use
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/inspector/base/src/inDOMView.cpp#1271
-like code to test for whitespaceness (note the construction of mDOMUtils
earlier in that function, though the test for mShowWhitespaceNodes should
actually be reversed there....
