88276 - New Modern checkboxes/radio buttons are awful

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84051

I think the new checkboxes and radio buttons in Mordern look terrible. They look 
very flat compared to the old ones, and give an impression that the software is 
intended for users between the ages of 3 and 7. Really, it looks like kiddie 
software now.

Probably we should start a special branch MOZILLA_THE_GREEN_BARNEY_FOR_KIDS for
the final modern theme...

Hmm, don't know how seriously this will be taken but here goes.  One problem I
noticed is that the radio buttons are being lit from the top and the pressed
states of the checkboxes are being lit mostly from the top, though a little to
the left. Disclosure triangles are being lit from either the left or the top,
depending on their state.  Dialogues would be more harmonious if all the widgets
were consistently lit from the top left.
