Details

The Help viewer toolbar icon in Pinstripe for customizing the toolbar is based off an older version of the Pinstripe theme (the one that had blue triangles for forward/back). A new version of it (with the newer green arrows instead) needs to be created and put into the tree. The toolbar icons for Help in Pinstripe: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/themes/pinstripe/help/Toolbar.png The (newer) browser toolbar icons in Pinstripe: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/themes/pinstripe/browser/Toolbar.png
This should be done for 1.1 for visual consistency. Requesting blocking-aviary1.1...

Flags got lost by the move to the Toolkit product. You have to rerequest blocking-aviary1.1 if you want.
Can we just agree on a toolbar config and drop customization instead? As evil/nasty as this mockup is, I think its much close to the right thing than what we have. http://steelgryphon.com/stuff/Screenshot-Mozilla%20Firefox%20Help.png
This bug is just one hair above WONTFIX. It shouldn't block anything. The secondary icon element that Jeff is referring to is meant to represent a generic toolbar. The "inconsistency" does not mean it's more difficult to understand the meaning of the icon. Yeah I could make those little arrows greenish at some point but it's not a priority. This is on my "to revisit up at some point" list though.
(In reply to comment #3) > Can we just agree on a toolbar config and drop customization instead? I've been thinking about the viewer UI over the past couple of months, and I'm slowly gathering ideas together into something that's different from the current impl and (at least in my head so far, without a whole lot of thought on the matter) better. I'll try to post a mockup of it sometime in the next few days or so, probably with the opening of a new bug. In the meantime however, I'm not sure this bug needs to be fixed. Every other toolbar gets along fine without a visible, non-menu item customize widget, and since help won't be used nearly as much highlighting its customizability isn't really worthwhile. As a temporary move between now and some revised UI, I'm perfectly fine with just removing the Customize Toolbar icon from the available icon set and just rely on the user to right-click if customization is really desired.
Bug 295817 should make this bug INVALID, because we're eliminating toolbar customization completely and going with sane, usable defaults.
Depends on: 295817
The icon is no longer needed now that bug 295817's fixed.
