394565 - Calendar view navi control titles have wrong background-color

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 429101

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty)
Build Identifier: 2007090103

In Lightning, the navigation control titles in all calendar views have a background-color that don't fit the theme. I am using TB 2.0.0.6 with the default theme and today's nightly of Lightning. Sunbird does not have this problem.

I tried to find a place to solve this issue but as I have no experience in XUL I didn't make it. At least the lightning.css doesn't define background-colors for the CSS classes title0, title1 and title2 which seem to me to be responsible here.

If you could give me any help I'd like to try and solve this bug myself.

Reproducible: Always

The navigation controls are just buttons that derive the color and style from the Thunderbird theme. My guess is that the default Thunderbird theme and the default Sunbird theme for Linux have different settings here. 

If you look at the Windows screenshot from Bug 356533 (Attachment 271224 [details]) you will see that on Windows there is no difference in the color using the default theme. Using custom themes results in a completely different look of the buttons. Using the Modern Modoki theme results in similar styling as reported here.

Using tb's default theme, it also seems to depend on the system's theme.

Most themes have the same bg-color for buttons as for windows, but some don't.

Using such a theme makes the navigation controls look this way.

Hi.
I have the same problem with Lightning 0.8 TB 2.0.0.12 on Win XP SP2: http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=monthview2xs0.png
I'm posting here because I haven't found the same bug for Win OS, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Maybe someone could give the right link.
I use Win XP classic theme but I've changed some color and the background color in Lightning's bug is the same of a system color I chose:

Sunbird 0.7 works well to me and Lightning 0.7 worked well too.
I don't know if Linux platform has difference on CSS property but I've fix the bug by myself editing userChrome.css and adding these lines:

.title0 {
	background-color: transparent !important;
}

and the same for title1 and title2 (selector "titlex" are from lightning.css file ).
I'm not a CSS expert and I tried this by chance but it works, though I'd prefer a real fix (neither editing userChrome.css nor modifying others files).

Thanks, this works for me. Maybe this should be a default value? I see no reason for the coloured background. It's rather annoying.
