326478 - alert-exclam.gif is ugly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 312501

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Mentovai]

Really, it's as ugly as sin.  It fit OS 7 like a glove, but it's been out of style for about ten years.  I mean, come on, the thing has jagged edges!  It wouldn't matter so much if it weren't the new face of our neterror pages.

Does that look Mac-like to you?  Does it say 1.0?  I didn't think so.

This file comes in from themes/classic/global/mac/icons/alert-exclam.gif, and it's brought in by netError.css.  I don't think the other .gif files in that directory actually ever expose themselves to the user anywhere.  Maybe in SeaMonkey or some other app.  For what it's worth, the neterror icon is pretty in Firefox, so maybe this time, Camino should jump off the bridge too.

We should at least replace this atrocity on our own private branch for 1.0 and look toward repackaging our own icons or themes for the future.

mento, you want to add "making sure bug 302309 gets fixed" to your to-do list, after you finish fixing x86? ;)
