250400 - Update bugzilla.mozilla.org stylesheet to newer one used by main mozilla.org site

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect, P3)

bugzilla.mozilla.org seems to be the only part of mozilla.org that still carries
the OLD look.

Applying the new stylesheet used in all the other mozilla.org sites would give
bugzilla a much needed refreshing look..

After all, the old look may not look as inviting to new bug reporters, and
giving it a modern look may attract more bug reporters?

I know that it's not a problem with bugzilla itself, because redhat's
installation of bugzilla is very nicely matched with the main redhat site theme..

Nice to know work is going on for this.

If i may make one suggestion on this though (i realize this is still a WIP), the
text font and size look a little weird. 

May i suggest a smaller font? Perhaps one or two points smaller?

Thanks for the update,

Work wasn't in progress. :)  I threw that together after you opened the bug.  A
couple of us spent an hour or so screwing with it this afternoon, have another
look. :)

Would this be a good opportunity also to revamp the custom index.html.tmpl?
There are several bug reports on it. I'll gather up the feedback and try and put
something together.

You might like to fix bug 119153 while you are there.

What are the chances of getting new ids/classes on this install? Should that be
a new bug?

Redhat's bugzilla makes me very, very jealous. I attempted to copy some of the
better looking stuff from their install using the @-moz-document rules, but am
limited by the lack of the same classes/ids (I imagine it's possible to get a
similar effect without them, but I don't know enough css)

We're going to pick this up with the next upgrade actually.  It's mostly already
been checked in upstream, we'll have to make a few local tweaks for b.m.o.

something i think that's missing is a guide for people towards the support
options available for mozilla.

with that in mind, i've thrown together a *rough* bmo index page..

Did you look at the one we're already set to deploy?  See bug 279823 (you can
also find it by following the dependencies on this bug ;)

maybe you could add the bugzilla bug icon on the main banner to the right of the
mozilla text.
