79274 - nsIPrompt and nsIPromptService alerts should have red borders on Mac OS

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XUL, defect, P4)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Currently, alerts in Mozilla have gray borders. On Mac OS, they are supposed to 
have red borders. This is an important cue that the window is an alert, rather 
than a dialog. It is also one of the highest-reward bits of Mac-savviness for 
an app to have, since alerts are so common and since other OSes typically do 
not highlight this distinction between alerts and dialogs.

Fixing this may fix bug 53345 for free.

Is there any chance that doing this will involve nsIPromptService api changes?

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

Since Mozilla is no longer supported on Mac OS X pre-OS X I am attepting to test
the remaining open bugs (all 175 of them).

The test client will be the Mozilla (SeaMonkeys) 1.6.

Result/Status: OS 9 HIG
