Build ID: 1999092909 Platform: all With the 'new' UI currently implemented in the browser, there is no visual border at the top of the status bar area at the bottom of the window. This can be visually problematic. If you load the page at the above URL, you'll notice that the background color of the table is the same color as that of the status area. There is no visual distinction between the content of the HTML document and the status bar area; this looks very strange. Other legacy browsers separate the two areas visually.

Re-assign it to german so he can point to the right spec. I think this is somewhat a "working in progress" item and will be clearly defined when the final look is in the build correctly.
I'll accpet thebug to keep track of it, but currently that's part of the new Netscape lok and feel. will revisit once we have the look and feel in the build.
Moving all UE/UI bugs to new component: User Interface: Design Feedback UE/UI component will be deleted.

You could say that `There is no visual distinction between the content of the HTML document and the x area; this looks very strange' for several values of x: * status bar * toolbar * sidebar. Such a blending between UI elements and content makes beginning users vulnerable to UI spoofing attacks (thinking that things in the Web page are part of the toolbar/sidebar/status bar, when really they're not). I wouldn't be surprised if it also causes minor residual confusion in experienced users, e.g. spending half a second every so often wondering why part of the screen hasn't scrolled, and then realizing that it is because that part of the screen is the status bar. If the new look and feel is kept to, then at least a border could be drawn around the HTML content itself, which would solve the problem for all values of x at once.

Not sure there is a problem here anymore. At the top of the status bar and the bottom of the personal toolbar, there is a 1px black rule. When the sidebar is visible, it extends down to the taskbar, displacing the left end of the status bar, something that no normal page could do. An "evil" page launched without chrome via javascript could emulate a webpage without chrome long enough to allow spoofing, but no tweaking of the delimitation between UI areas and content areas could prevent that type of attack.
this has been fixed. Now even the modern skin has a dark grey line separating status from content. The classic skin has a border as well
