661745 - Toolbar (buttons) and menu bar shouldn't have transparency on Aero glass

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 667248

(Thunderbird :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

I confirmed on 5.0b2pre, 20110602000050.

The toolbar and its items have transparency on Windows 7. But it's hard to distinguish the buttons if back of the window is black.

I think that basically, toolbar shouldn't be on the glass. Otherwise, the buttons shouldn't have transparency.

Confirming.  Here are some screenshots; you can see that if you've got a dark background and/or desktop icons in the area where the menu and toolbar are, both become quite difficult to read.  A dark background is not the default, but Windows packs icons to the upper left, so that part, at least, will be a common issue.  Even more irritating is when there is a rapidly-updating window behind the Thunderbird window.

My exposure to Windows 7 is pretty limited, but it seems to me that most Aero-aware applications do not make toolbars or menu bars partially transparent.

Retitling (this affects the menu bar too).  This appears to be a regression from bugs 588007 and/or 545557.
