Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[RBL]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Many audio events are not fired; for example, Restore Up or 
Down, Maximize, Minimize, Menu Command, Menu Popup, etc.  Other 
standard Windows theme elements don't work, such as menu 
animations, menu item fading, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Control Panel > Sounds
2. Assign audio events to all OS sounds
3. Use Tbird and see if Windows knows event has happened; no 
audio plays when resizing, min/maximizing, navigating menus, 
moving toolbar items, etc.
4. Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings > 
Adjust for Best Appearance
5. Use Tbird and see that many Windows themes elements, such 
as menu and selection animations, do not work.
Actual Results:  
As above: Program does not provide 100% integration with 
Windows Themes.

Expected Results:  
As above: Program does not provide 100% integration with 
Windows Themes.

Tbird should support Windows Theme events and user prefs as well as any other standard Windows app.

Reporter, does this still occur with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.17)
