Sigh. Would this have been a freebie if we had implemented this in XUL instead rebuilding it in HTML?

From what I understand the bookmarks and history sidebars are implemented in XUL, but our developer was required to redo it in HTML. I simply did the UX component.

This is simple to fix and I have a WIP (it just needs |dir="&locale.dir;"| on <body>). However, another complication is that we also need a twisty that goes in the other direction in rtl.

We don't want to use [+] or [-] - we want to be consistent with the other sidebars. We want to use similar to what OSX uses for the sidebar - "arrow" style twisties, and these do need a different direction for RTL.
(In reply to Mark Hammond [:markh] from comment #10) > We don't want to use [+] or [-] - we want to be consistent with the other sidebars. Sounds good. Because, the following twisties are used now in the default theme on Windows. [-] chrome://browser/skin/syncedtabs/twisty-open.svg [+] chrome://browser/skin/syncedtabs/twisty-closed.svg

This patch also fixes bug 1245728 (wrong twisties used on Windows and Linux) as the twisties also have rtl implications. Note that this is very much a WIP and needs lots of cleanup - I'm asking for feedback on the general idea, notably using a single .svg with *all* twisties and referencing the specific ones we need using a fragment ID. Of particular note, the name of the .svg file is yet to be renamed - it's still called arrow-closed.svg, but I'll probably rename it to arrow-twisties.svg and delete arrow-open.svg. It looks fairly good on Windows, but I'm yet to test this on OSX and it looks like I'm not going to get to that today, so I thought I'd ask for feedback before I work further on this approach.

Comment on attachment 8718222 [details] [diff] [review] 0010-wip-for-rtl-and-twisties.patch Somehow my review queue was a train wreck when I got to it this morning, despite leaving it empty last night. From purely a very quick look... why aren't we just using the same files as the bookmarks/history sidebar (which I assume are the toolkit ones) ? I would prefer us not reinventing the wheel. That way we should be getting platform-specific things for free (see e.g. bug 1191230)

No longer blocks: 996638
This got confusing :) For the builtin tree control: * On Windows, a SVG is used for twisties - there's no "-moz-appearance: treetwisty*" style set. * On Linux there's *both* "-moz-appearance: treetwisty;" and "list-style-image: ..." - however, my testing shows the list-style-image is not being uses - only treetwisty seems relevant. * On OSX there's only -moz-appearance: treetwisty. So this patch takes the same approach (and fortunately "treetwisty*" is working in the html) - although it does *not* bother with the (apparently redundant) list-style-image on Linux. Thus, this patch removes all svgs added by the synced tabs sidebar and moves some of the CSS around so the shared stuff is truly shared and the platform specific rules are in their platform's css. With this patch, everything seems to work correctly in LTR and RTL, with the twisties flipping on RTL as expected - except on Linux where the twisties are pointing in the wrong direction with RTL - but they also are for the bookmarks and history sidebars, so that problem isn't syncedtabs specific. It's possible that's an issue with ForceRTL, but either way, I'm convinced this sidebar behaves like the other sidebars.

I do see the padding have no effect (so I removed it), but I don't see any significant padding differences - maybe a pixel or so, but using a "ruler" app there is no significant change for me. > Maybe we need to tweak the margins for OS X?

Given the above I haven't filed a followup yet, but I'm sure UX will be all over it if they see a problem. > Nit: can you order the RTL ones the same way as the non-RTL ones? Done. Try at https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=8456a64466c1 - seems to be perma-orange in a webgl test in dom/canvas, and I can't see how this could possibly cause that, so landing...
