42157 - skins need to be able to take advantage of overlays

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen Poprocki]

skins should be able to use overlays so they can add extra buttons, etc...
the only ways to do this now would be to add in the overlay link in 
navigator.xul or whatever you're skinning, thus not making it a skin 
anymore, or add it into chrome/overlayinfo/global/content/overlays.rdf.

 i think the manifest.rdf file for the current skin could update the 
overlays.rdf file to include anyoverlays it needs... of course this is just one 
way i see of doing it.

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Did not make feature train.

Ben sez what you need to do is make a package that contains your overlay.

*spam* changing QA to me for all skinability bugs (all 4 of them!)

Comment 4

i'm reopening this.

if i were to make it a package, it would affect all themes, no?
i would need it for my theme alone, so that it wouldn't look bad in other 
themes.

Again: Ben sez what you need to do is make a package that contains your overlay.

Moving to Future milestone.
