Firefox default widgets, part II

I made a few modifications on my previous post. The text entries, textareas, dropdowns, and checkboxes are nicer, the buttons have a “click” feel to them, and radio buttons are implemented.

Firefox default widgets, part II

For this to work, you need forms-2.css (rename to forms.css before placing in your /lib/res directory) and also radio.png and radio_checked.png

    Your work may not look like a lot of changes, but it has greatly improved my browsing. In fact, it had more impact than most changes in mozilla code for the past years. How weird.

    Controlli Firefox, e tre
    Anche Garret ha deciso che ne aveva abbastanza degli orribili bottoni di default di Mozilla/Firefox e ne ha preparati di alternativi.

    You nailed it. There is not a Mozilla Bug for this issue. We need to figure out the Mac OS X issue (the widgets are too light on Mac OS X).

    Awesome, it looks more defined than the past version.

    Very nice, Garrett. I even have it running on my win2k box here at work. ;)

    PS: Don’t anybody hurt me please. I don’t have any say in what OS I use here!

    Thats a huge improvement from the original. How about a 2 pixels worth of -moz-border-radius for buttons? I suggest this because when a form field and button are placed adjacently, form field’s corners “look” a little curved. And the button’s corners would feel much better if they are curved a teeny bit.

    Anyway, that is a great improvement you have there. Congrats.

    Garrett, these changes aren’t nearly as un-invasive as you think… See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264523#c4
