576814 - prettify a little about:cache and about:cache-entry

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Themes, defect)

Description

[philippe (part-time)]

Bug 538813 did a nice job de-uglifying the whole page (Thanks Steffen !).
The color choices aren't exactly great however (see bug 538813 comment 29) and feel pretty foreign on my Mac.

---

A couple of suggestions (aka, what I'll do when the time comes to implement this for Camino) - but I'll leave it to the Firefox UI theme to decide what to do…

1. drop the background colour on the 3 main tables (#disk, #memory, #offline).
2. set the #entries table to border-collapse: collapse
3. for cells and rows, similar to what I did for about:plugins

My ideas for improvement of at least the Firefox UI of about:cache pages:
- Paginate the cache entries. ff4b7 hangs while trying to render my ~350MB disk cache entries.
- A search for looking through the cache entries.
- Have a better way to identify the expired cache entries then (in most cases) a 1970 date which is confusing if you dont know how http caching works.

I don't think the redesign of this page will be on our to-do-list since the majority of our users don't use this at all. But feel free to design something and ask for review.
