986858 - Sidebar view doesn't obey the Windows high-contrast theme setting

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Kostadin Kolev]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140314220517

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click on an empty spot on the desktop, to invoke its context menu.
2. From the menu, choose "Personalize".
3. From the "Personalize" window that appears, click on "High-Contrast Black", in the list of available themes.
4. Launch Firefox.
5. Press Control+B or Control+H, to invoke the sidebar. Alternatively, from "View -> Sidebar" menu, select one of the items in the "Sidebar" submenu, to show it in the sidebar and to make the sidebar appear.


Actual results:

The background of the sidebar is white, even though the Windows high-contrast black theme uses a black background. The text however is also white (as far as I can see), making the items in the sidebar unreadable. Not only that, but the item selection color is also not taken from the system theme settings - it should be bright blue (cyan I think), but it is almost transparent, as if in an AERO theme.


Expected results:

Firefox should use for these controls the colors set in the currently set high-contrast theme, instead of its own colors.

Wayne,
No, this is no longer reproducible for me in Firefox 117.0.1.
