690762 - [TABLETUI] Appearance of the navigation bar should be consistent with the appearance of the top bar in other apps on Samsung's Honeycomb devices

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Steps to reproduce:
 1) Use Honeycomb device from Samsung, e.g. Galaxy Tab 10.1
 2) Open and take a look at each of the following apps:
  * Calendar
  * Settings
  * Alarm
  * Video
  * Contacts
  * Email (not Gmail)
  * Music Hub
  * Music Player
  * My Files
  * Social Hub
  * World Clock
 3) Open Firefox nightly.

Actual results:
The top bar in the apps mentioned in step #2 has a subtle gray gradient. The navigation bar in Nightly has a flat gray background.

Expected results:
Expected the navigation bar in Nightly to conform to the native Samsung-shipped theme on Samsung devices and to have the same subtle gray gradient as the apps mentioned in step #2.

Also, the top bar in the apps mentioned in step #2 has a 1px black bottom border and a slight drop shadow under the bar.

What about other Honeycomb tablets? Like the EEE Transformer?

I'd expect Firefox to match the theme that EEE Transformer ships when run on EEE Transformer.

We would need native theme support (bug 674041) in order to do this correctly, though in the meantime we *could* also try detecting the most popular devices/skins and putting in a few special cases for major items like the action bar background.

I dont think this would be good in cases where a user has the ability to change their devices screen mode, (i.e., "Dynamic/Standard/Movie) which alters the native appearance of the system affecting all native applications. *

* Samsung only?

Are more drastic measures that just changing the setting needed to provoke a theme change with that setting? AFAICT, the setting affects a global screen color transformation--not what apps think they are painting.
