They labels on disabled toolbarbuttons are too washed out compared to cocoa apps. One can hardly read the labels.
We shouldn't be using GrayText for disabled toolbarbuttons. The native color for this is #3F3F3F. We've got these options: - Hardcode the color to #3F3F3F in the CSS, - find a platform color that's #3F3F3F and use that (is there one?), or - introduce a new platform color for "disabled text on dark chrome". If we use a platform color, we should find out if there's a way to get it from the system. However, this might be a problem because it will probably different on 10.4...
Let's go for option 3.

Comment on attachment 351983 [details] [diff] [review] part 2, v1: use the color in the CSS "toolbartextdisable" is strange... disabledToolbarText instead?
Yeah, it's strange... I did it because it's similar to the already-existing -moz-mac-menutextdisable, but I'm fine with disabledToolbarText.
pushed as -moz-mac-disabledtoolbartext (we don't use intercaps in color names): http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a72ce0279ba8 http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a441f54e2c64

(In reply to comment #7) > (we don't use intercaps in color names) We do, but apparently, for some or for no reason, only if it's a spec'd color (GrayText, HighlightText, ThreeDShadow, etc.)
Oh, yeah, I didn't even think about those without -moz prefix...

Yeah, I was wondering why we /don't/ do it for prefixed values (except for -moz-Dialog and -moz-DialogText).
