686671 - Reduce border radii of the url bar, search bar and toolbar buttons on the navigation toolbar

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Theme, enhancement)

These should probably be completely square on Windows 8. In the meantime, I think we should reduce the radii for all Windows versions, as it looks sleeker and will ease the transition to the Windows 8 look.

Will the hover appearance of small toolbar buttons be adjusted to match as well?

Maybe you should also reduce the border radii of search bar in the Library and the border radii of buttons and search bar in the Add-ons manager for more consistency

These are native toolbar buttons, which AFAIK were already less round than the custom style.

They currently have a border radius of 3px, if I'm not mistaken. According to the patch code, the urlbar and toolbar buttons are being reduced to 2.5px.

Will this be pushed to Firefox 8 Aurora?

I wouldn't expect this to be approved for landing on Aurora.

For what it's worth (and it's not much I guess), this looks worse than before.
Why are we going back to Windows 95 style square buttons????

Did we lose our funding for modern looking apps?
We still have to deal with the **** small buttons having lost Firefox's style.

What is up with this stuff lately?
