User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110302 Firefox/4.0b13pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110302 Firefox/4.0b13pre

Starting from FF4b8 when i use non default theme i get transparent modal dialogs, like alert, prompt etc.
The problem is that transparent alerts are on even themes which marked as FF4b supported by addons.mozilla.org.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use some custom theme, like "Chromifox Basic".
2. open javascript:alert('this is alert');
3. see alert with no background and titlebar.
Actual Results:  
see attachment screenshot

Expected Results:  
show old alert style, like ff3.6 then no alert style is defined by theme.

I hoped it's a temporary bug, bug it haven't changed for last month. I couldn't find any submitted bug before. This bug affect too many firefox 3.5 themes.

3rd party themes have to be updated for Firefox 4. If the prompts don't look right with a theme which claims FF4 support, you'll need to take it up with the theme author.

I think there must be fallback for such themes, there is no reason to drop support of them on the browser level. Оtherwise there must be info, how to update them (exactly about modal dialogs styles).
