Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect, P3)

Description

[Andrew Thompson]

Build 2000080410

Try creating a new mail/news account while using the Mac classic skin:

This wizard needs some work:

It has the symptoms of bug 46192 - the panel headings are white
The icon in the panel headings is being clipped.
The buttons are in the wrong font.

Its just plain ugly. The layout look amatuerish.

setting bug status to New.  I also noticed (could be filed seperately I guess,
but...) that the buttons in the News Subscribe dialog are partially cut off when
using the classic skin (and what hapened to the stripes?)

Stripes are only being used in windows classic, not mac classic.

Comment 5

[Andrew Thompson]

Actually, the stripes are gone from windows classic too, and the marble effect 
is back. 

I think Asa is probably talking about the stripes in the main toolbar anyway. 
There was a long thread about this in either the ui or the xpfe newsgroups last 
week. I think Ben is going to try to bring them back on the toolbar.

Oh, those lines (which are copied from IE 5 for Mac and Mac OS X Aqua) have been 
removed becasue we've decided to minimize the visual design changes for the 
Classic skin.  Someone can very easily make an IE 5 skin with these lines, but 
the main priority for the classic skin is not to innovate but to copy 4.x's look 
as closely as technically possible.

Reassigning all Nikhil's bugs to me as he is no longer here. 

Comment 11

[Andrew Thompson]

Someone's been doing good work here, many of the problems have been fixed in the
last few builds, however:

i) The title at the top of the window is illegable - it seems to be printed
white on white. Suggest we use the Marble background used elsewhere in the Mac
classic skin. (see attached image)

ii) The previous and next buttons are odd (see bug 55779)

iii) The buttons are using the wrong font. Should be using the fat system font
(Chicago, Charcoal etc) for buttons like these...
