In a continuing effort to make a Macintosh Classic Skin:
On most platforms, mouseDown on a scrollbar thumb provides the user
with visual feedback in the form of highlighting the thumb. Using CSS in
the scrollbars.css file, I tried to emulate this highliting effect by changing
the thumb color during the "active" state:
thumb {
behavior: url("chrome://global/content/xulBindings.xml#thumb");
user-focus: ignore;
user-select: none;
background-color: #9999FF;
border-right: 1px solid rgb(40%,40%,80%); /* #6666CC */
border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(40%,40%,80%); /* #6666CC */
border-top: 1px solid rgb(80%,80%,100%); /* #CCCCFF */
border-left: 1px solid rgb(80%,80%,100%); /* #CCCCFF */
list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/scroll-thumb-horiz.gif");
}
thumb:active {
background-color: #6666CC;
}
However, this style does not produce any effect. Oddly, though, once in a
very long while you will see the highlight effect for half a second or so, and
then it will disappear.
This bug should be fixed for nsbeta3 because the hilite is a polish effect
necessary for a Classic skin to fit in the OS's GUI. The bug is jarring and
destracting for the user, and makes Netscape's interface look cheap and
hacked together.

Just realized that this bug only crops up when viewing "special" (non-html
only) sidebars: Bookmarks, What's related, and the top and left panels in
Mail, for example. In most other sidebars and regular html panels, the
thumb gets the :active message just fine. Hope this helps.

This bug might only crop up in sidebar panels that have embedded trees.
Maybe this bug should go to hyatt?
