491301 - Create new "dark" theme

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

Pull together a new theme based on the work of Martell and Madhava.
See:

The new theme is completely CSS and makes use of -moz-border-colors, which could be a performance issue. We could also use box-shadow which looks even better, but might have even worse performance results. We'll see.

Attachment: patch

This patch updates the theme to the new "dark" theme:
* Adds new CSS for buttons, panels, dark buttons and radios to platform.css
* Adds new classes to browser.xul
* Updates (adds & removes) styles from browser.css
* Updates images and the jar.mn file

There are still things we need to do:
* Red close buttons
* Resize the sidebar widths
* Add the green/red hints to the checkboxes
* Add the pressed larry states for EV and SSL

But the current patch does a heck of a lot and we can use followup patches for the rest.

Oops, forgot to mention that the current patch does not include the wince changes. I will certainly add them, but they could make  reviewing the patch a pain.
