513163 - [Windows 7/Vista] Drawing in the Title Bar for Firefox 4

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 513162

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Faaborg [:faaborg] (Firefox UX)]

This is the Windows 7/Vista version of bug 513157, details on the rational can be
found in bug 513157 comment #0, or below.

For Firefox 4, there are a variety of reasons why we will need to either draw
in the title bar of the application window, or actually draw the title bar
entirely from scratch:

1) Having a control at the edge of the window frame to set the active Weave
account.

2) Drawing a persona throughout all of chrome (including the title bar).

3) In private browsing mode changing the appearance of the theme, including the
title bar.  Interactively this is to reduce the number of mode errors (a
darkened theme is easily viewable using peripheral vision).  On a more
emotional and design level, it just looks really cool.

4) Placing tabs slightly into the area of the title bar will help us free up
space for the content area.

I don't think we need a separate bug for WinXP and Win7/Vista... can we just dup this one?

Sure, just filed in case glass support caused extra work.

There is some extra work, but I think it'll just be an extra function call (and the prototype will be introduced in the bugs to fix glass support for panels).
