22999 - [CHROME] Bar above throbber dithers badly on Mac 256 colours

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20058

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Nick Meara]

Overview Description:

The area above the throbber in the Mozilla interface dithers badly when Mozilla
is run on a Mac display set to 256 colours

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Switch to 256 colours
2) Open Mozilla

Actual Results:

The bar directly above the throbber is badly dithered.

Expected Results:

Flat colour with no dithering.

Build Date and Platform:

2000010308 on Mac OS 8.6

Additional Builds and Platforms:

NOT present on 2000010308 on Windows NT Workstation

Additional Information:

The area that is dithered in the interface consists of the image n-box-
persbar.gif in the default navigator chrome directory.

The problem stems from the fact that the image is indexed to slightly different
colours than the rest of the interface -- rgb(0, 48, 96) for the dark blue and
rgb(207, 200, 207) for the grey. The actual colours that should be used are
rgb(0, 51, 102) and rgb(204, 204, 204) respectively.

Moving all UE/UI bugs to new component: User Interface: Design Feedback
UE/UI component will be deleted.

this is going away as we are removing the background-images and replacing with 
CSS. I don't think this will likely happen for beta.

QA Assigning non-confidential New/Assigned User Interface: Design Feedback bugs 
to Matthew Thomas ([e-mail]).

Matthew Thomas is now the QA owner for the User Interface: Design Feedback 
component. (Bugs that involve UI issues in the Netscape-branded Mozilla browser 
should continue be QA assigned to [e-mail].)

More specifically, this is going away as the gray area itself goes away. So ...

Uhm not really the grey area does not go away, but the area above the throbber 
used to be an image and after the restructuring of the chrome will no longer be, 
in order to get the Netscape stylisms out of the XUL structure to make 
skinnability happen. So yes this bug is about to be resolved.
