925156 - [Australis] Titlebar/menubar and tabbar presentation is ruined with custom XP visuals styles

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Dimitri Saltanov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

The following currently fails in Australis when run against custom visual styles in Windows XP:

- titlebar/menubar fill colors/gradients, as well as top border
- menubar font colors, including both active and inactive windows
- window control buttons (minimize, maximize, close) placement and borders
- tabbar fill color (displays window border on top of tabbar below menubar/titlebar)

Admittedly, custom window control buttons don't render exactly as designed in regular Firefox editions with the Firefox Menu button enabled, but the failure of properly rendering the titlebar fill color with Australis makes this issue especially awkward.

Please see attached screenshot exemplifying these issues against a custom visual style courtesy of lassecongo (available from deviant art). Other custom visual styles from a limited selection that I tried mostly exhibit similar problems.

We've dropped support for Windows XP.
