371184 - Submit buttons should keep their native look

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Wladimir Palant]

Have a look at the "start your discussion" button at the link above. At least on Windows XP it is extremely ugly. It is due to these styles http://remora.stage.mozilla.com/css/forms.css:

.amo-submit {
    background-color: #eee;
    border: 2px #999 outset;
}

.amo-submit:hover {
    background-color: #fff;
    cursor: pointer;
}

Please don't replace the native look of form elements. Also, I very much prefer the default hover behavior of buttons. And while keeping cursor:pointer is probably not too bad, this cursor value is usually reserved for link - and a button clearly isn't one. So my suggestion would be to remove these styles altogether.

I would second that removal, I think!

I fixed this in SVN r2705 and r2706. Fligtar verified that it looks native on Windows now.
