308791 - [Mac] Toolbar of disk image window hidden in recent Deer Park nightlies

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Wayne Woods]

Not sure if I should have assigned the component as "Installer" or "Build
Config". Anyway...

In recent nightlies, when you download and mount the disk image for Deer Park,
the disk image window displays no toolbar. Up until that point, the toolbar had
always been shown by default.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the OS X window toolbar, and NOT the browser
toolbar :)

The toolbar is obviously very handy to be present by default, as the first
action one wants to do is drag their new browser application to the Applications
folder icon on said toolbar.

Of course it's quite simple to go up to the View menu and select "Show Toolbar",
so this is hardly a critical issue. But it'd be nice to have it back the way it
was. :)

I can't be specific in which nightly dmg this changed without downloading a heap
of old dmg files, but I'm pretty sure it started at the same time that they
added the agreement/disclaimer thing that pops up when you mount the disk image.

Cheers

I think this is caused by the script that creates the disk image. The disk image
window for the 1.5b1 release doesn't have  a toolbar either, btw.

All of that junky window chrome, including the brushed metal appearance and the
toolbar, is turned off by the .DS_Store file present at the root of the volume.
 The new .DS_Store files went into effect alongside the new packager and license
agreement.

This was done by design.  It's somewhere between tricky and impossible to get
the window geometry right with the toolbar on across the range of OS releases we
need.  On top of that, the chrome makes an "installer" dmg look unprofessional.
