626409 - Tabs-on-Titlebar on WinXP doesn't look good on unfocused tabs.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 569850

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Swapnil Rustagi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b9

Tabs-on-Titlebar on Windows XP doesn't look good on unfocused tabs because the background color of unfocused tabs is blue(Due to Windows XP's theme). It looks nice on Windows Vista and Windows 7 but only with the default color ie. Windows Aero. It looks bad on Windows Vista and Windows 7 too when not using Windows Aero and using a different Windows Theme.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta 9 on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
2. Open two or more tabs.
3. The unfocused tab has the issue as it is hard to read because of Windows XP themes.
Actual Results:  
The unfocused tab appears in blue which means black text on a blue background which is too awful experience. Only Windows XP x86, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows server 3003 x86 and x64 are affected.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should use it's own theme for displaying unfocused tabs like it uses for the active tab.

Aye, it is not a complete duplicate. The other guy(reporter of bug 569850) is talking about something else, both the bugs have very little similarity which is not enough to mark them duplicate..

Yeah, so isn't is awful to read the unfocused tabs. On,MS Zune Black, it's almost impossible. What I meant to say was that Firefox should also use a Google Chrome-style which means it should display all the tabs in white color regardless of the color of titlebar.

Well, if the bug 569850 is fixed, I would like to see the changes in Firefox 4 Beta 10. If it fixes my problem then, I'm going to cancel this bug. But, however I do not feel that the issue described in that bug is relevant to mine ( Except that he is talking about titlebar and I'm too and we both have an x86 Windows XP system). Please do not again mark that as a duplicate. If Beta 10 fixes the issue, I'll cancel this myself. Ofcourse till then, any suggestions are appreiciated and welcomed.

Swapnil, you're abusing bugzilla. Again, stop it. Reopen if you see the issue in a build containing the fix for bug 569850, and only then.

It's great that you want to make sure the issue is fixed, but this isn't your personal issue tracker. Bugzilla serves the whole Mozilla community.

OK, I am totally sick of explaining this to you that the other bug is not relevant to this bug. If, you want, I quit, not from this bug but the whole Mozilla Community.
