982644 - (theme-win8) [meta] Windows 8.x theme issues in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Tim Nguyen :ntim]

With the new Windows 8 stuff landing, I see these issues :
- Weird borders in bookmarks menu button in some cases
- Weird active effect on back button
- Non Windows 8 style new tab, list all tabs, switch to metro, and tab scrollbox icons.
- There shouldn't be a border-radius on the customization mode buttons
- Darken the icons on hover (to match mockup, this can be done with SVG filters)
- Sidebars still have the aero blue
- The toolbars should have a lighter color (#F8F8F8), not just because of a mockup, but because it looks better
- .panel-multiview-anchor looks bad on Windows 8.

There are 2 other issues, but they were intentional, awaiting for a future decision :
- Toolbar button open state should be blue
- No Windows 8 style icons when they are inverted.

Proposed solution for the sidebar :
- White background for the content
- Light gray for the header

A bit like the headers

Tim, thanks for filing this to keep track of things. We can use this as a meta bug for future work.

See blocking bugs, most of them are resolved, if you see another issue, file a new bug blocking this one.
The remaining bugs require UX input or assets to go on.

Doesn't look like there is any progress on the blocking bugs.

That didn't help much, by the looks of it :P

Pretty much irrelevant with Photon.
