I was actually about to remove the horizontal borders entirely in my personal setup, as they hardly fulfil a practical function. I found them visually distracting. Then I noticed that the Explorer is using a ThreeDLightShadow-like color, and I think that should be the default appearance for Moz apps under WinXP / Luna. It's probably also the right thing for Vista; I'm not sure about Windows Classic.

There's a corrupted line in the toolbar right above the tab bar. That's not really related to this change, though it becomes more obvious.
I was unable to find its origin with DOMi. Maybe it's a core bug -- I'm thinking of bug 371434.

This applies to Thunderbird as well.

Requesting blocking in order to get this on the radar. I'm fine with a WONTFIX, but somebody should actually make that decision.

I think this was fixed by bug 337771.

Ah, not entirely fixed. Although toolbar shadows use the light shadow, toolbarseparators still use the dark one.

Pretty simple patch, except that there's another magic number creeping in (the default code path in GetMinimumWidgetSize somehow returns either too large or too small a value for what we need to look right) and that the classic CSS version has to use overridable borders instead of margins (those come included with the natively themed separator).

updating summary to what this bug is actually about now.

I'm assuming here that the way the theming works is that you're not doing anything on Windows 2000 or XP Classic and so this CSS takes effect instead.

FWIW, the resizer (between location bar and search) look bad since this landed.
I assume this patch may have predated addition of the resizer?

It really shouldn't look any _worse_ than before. Anyway, should bug 391128 not take care of your issue, please just file another polish bug.

After this patch landed I have no toolbar separators at all with non MS themes. And with MS themes the separators are not padded at the bottom.

Ali: Please file a follow up bug and make sure to include screenshots from Windows Explorer(!) for comparison (separators are indeed expected to look differently than before this bug, so there's no need to add screenshots from older Minefield builds).

Never mind - that's bug 394142.
