288884 - Remove platformMailNewsOverlay.xul

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Ian Neal]

Make use of the XUL pre-processor to place ifdefs in mailWindowOverlay.xul and
SearchDialog.xul so the plaform specific mailnews overlay xul files can be removed.

Attachment: Provisional Patch v0.1

This patch:
* Removes all references to platformMailnewsOverlay.xul
* Removes all references to files under base/resources/content/[mac|win|unix]
* Adds #ifdefs to mailWindowOverlay.xul and SearchDialog.xul
* Adds alternate key for GTK2 platforms for key_selectThread
  - the original Ctrl-Shift-a will not work

For key_markAllRead on GTK2 platforms TB uses Shift-c and mailnews uses
Ctrl-Shift-m instead of Ctrl-Shift-c as that will not work. Do you we want to
switch to use the same as TB?

As part of this patch the following would also be cvs removed:
mailnews/base/resources/Makefile.in
mailnews/base/resources/content/Makefile.in
mailnews/base/resources/content/mac/*
mailnews/base/resources/content/win/*
mailnews/base/resources/content/unix/*

Ian,
Are you still working on this ?

A decision still had to be made on whether to remove platformMailNewsOverlay.xul or not

Comment 4

I think we can say it won't be removed.
