848240 - Mozilla theme doesn't show visited link coloring.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Sandstone/Mozilla Skin, defect)

Description

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

After switching to the Mozilla theme for BMO, I can't tell at a glance which bugs I have already visited. All links have the same coloring.

Is this some consistency thing for the One Mozilla theme or something? I could see that being nice for the links in the header/footer, but I really think the links to bugs in the buglists and search results should expose the visted-ness.

In the few days that I have used the Mozilla theme, this is my number 1 complaint.  It's very hard to use Bugzilla effectively because of this bug. :(

Attachment: Remove link styling for visited links not in the header or footer

Is this all that this bug needs? When I made this change in the Style Inspector, links to bugs I've visited in bug comments show up differently than non-visited links, while everything in the header/footer are still colored as specified in the stylesheet.

Not really sure who I should ask for review on this, as there are no resolved bugs in the Sandstone component for me to look that up. Guessing glob, please pass it to the right person if you're not it. :)
