991413 - [Australis] Themes + Australis + Win8 = Broken (Please don't ship without this)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 590945

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Attachment: Australis theme.png

Firefox 29.0
Win8.1

1) Go to addons and install a theme
2) Theme gets installed
3) You're hyped because it looks awesome

Actual results: Not very awesome

The borders of the window (left, bottom and right) keep Windows' colour rather than the themes' choice.
The same happens with the minimize, maximize and close.

See attachment.

Please do not ship Australis with this issue. I don't know what our story with broken add-ons is going to be but this will also give lots to talk to a lot of people. I'm trying to say that we will regret it if we don't fix this.

Hey Armen,

This is a dupe of bug 590945 - we cannot draw into that area of the window without platform support for it.

We've also decided to ship it this way. I agree, not very awesome. But I believe we're already shipping this problem in Release (can you confirm?)

Not a regression. Better that way!
Thanks Mike!
