Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a page with video controls, or view chrome://global/skin/media/videocontrols.png 2. Run a screen magnifier like Windows' magnify.exe Actual Results: The pause bars are slightly too tall. The volume control speaker isn’t quite right, the voice coil on the back has rounded back corners (a voice coil has a squared off edge) and the coil is slightly too big for that size cone. I earlier provided this feedback on http://jboriss.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/html-5-video-tag-pirate-edition/#comment-318 , along with comments on other parts of the control UI that aren't exposed (yet?).
I adjusted the pause and the voice coil in http://www.skierpage.com/moz_bugs/videocontrols_tweaked.png , go back/forwards between it and chrome://global/skin/media/videocontrols.png to see the improvements. Unfortunately, #$@! MS Paint changed the color balance (what tool do you use to edit PNGs?), so it's not a replacement.
Thanks for the feedback, skierpage. I'll revisit this & post a mockup here.

Pauze button was not centered, moved 1px to the left to make it centered.

Comment on attachment 353426 [details] Centered pauze button It basically looks fine to me, but... * Bug 464371 is spitting these into multiple PNGs (1 per button state). * If we're going to clean these up, I'd also like to make them proper transparent images (ie, transparent background instead of dark gray). Boriss, I assume you have original vector art for these buttons? Can you generate cleaned up versions with all these changes?

Ok, understood. That will be much better.
Bug 464371 has split the image into four images, but didn't fix the issue of this bug. Btw, why split the image into separate images per button? -moz-image-region was invented for the purpose of reducing the number of images in chrome (as they do impact performance of the browser overall).

(In reply to comment #7) > Btw, why split the image into separate images per button? > -moz-image-region was invented for the purpose of reducing the number of images > in chrome (as they do impact performance of the browser overall). Because -moz-image-region doesn't work with background images.
But as the buttons are now real xul buttons, a normal list-style-image would also work. And for making the background grey, background-color:grey would work ;-). As said in other comments, the preference is to use transparent icons, and let the css do the styling... Note, I have done with my themes (such as Nautipolis and Walnut) and this works like a charm, with the added benefit that the browser provided controlBar as the same styling as the browser itself.
Sure, but the purpose of bug 464371 was suppress the unexpected load events. For example: <button onload="alert('load')" style="list-style-image: url(http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif)"/> When <video onload="..."> gets triggered because of these image loads events, that's a problem.
So list-style-image do cause load events, but background-image not?
I agree with the jist of Comment 1, but would go a bit further. I've posted new versions of the graphics, with some changes: - Pause icon a better height/thickness ratio - Colors of played/loaded/unloaded more distinct from each other - Volume icon looks less like shuttlecock - Colors and opacities of controls and background changed to look better on various backgrounds. I've been playing around with this and think that a better solution than having the full opacity of the controls on top of the video is to have parts of it slightly transparent, so that some of the video can be seen below it. This makes the controls more visually integrated - rather than something stamped on top of the video, something blended in. If the background especially can be made slightly transparent, the difference is pretty striking (see preview).

There are some gray lines on the inside edges of the pause button. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, and not a big enough deal to block ui-r+, but they might make the icon look ever so slightly fuzzy.
Summary: in <video> controls, the pause control is too tall and loudspeaker looks wrong → update <video> control icons
