This isn't complete as we'll still need to finish with the column icons, but it's an initial start for anyone who's on hg

Bryan: I just noticed a regression with this. It seems a "}" character is missing on line 379 (the section saying #threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected) { + background-color: Highlight;), resulting in no icon being displayed on message tabs.
Attached patch new patch (does it work this way?) (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
added a new line saying: +} I'm pretty bad at this patching business, so please correct me if I screwed up! :)
Attached patch updated patch w/ fix (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Ok I added your fix in. I think you have to be really careful about the patch format if you're going to hand edit the file. I don't really know. I usually just apply, make changes and then remake the patch; even if it's something easy. There are a couple things left to do, but I'll get to those when I upload a screenshot next.

Attached image message list screenshot (obsolete) (deleted) —
here's the screenshot of the message list with this patch applied. Here's what's left to do: * header icons - b&w and slightly smaller versions of these icons * new message icon - old one seen in screenshot; we can use the one from bug 483759 With those items done I think we can get this patch applied, even though we may not have larger icon version to replace the ones in the toolbar. We could also land bug 474523 soonish so the missing larger versions aren't so noticeable.

to go into icons
Attached file updated css (obsolete) (deleted) —
Realized there was some oddness going on when combined with #484395, since there was a box around the tab area and the 3 pane area. Hope this css works better.

Comment on attachment 371473 [details] [diff] [review] updated patch w/ all icons Overall this is very nice! The one icon i'm not quite happy with is mail/themes/gnomestripe/mail/icons/message-new.png It looks too much like a star imo, and the star or whatever it's supposed to be is slightly off center. Also there's the issue that Phil mentioned in some other bug: that -moz-image-region speeds things up... It's a PITA but I guess we have to use that. I'll attach a small script shortly that at least partly could help. >+#threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected) { >+ background-color: Highlight; > } Looks like this fixes bug 352833, yay!
Nothing fancy, feel free to improve ~/tmp/imgs$ ./do_collage.sh *.png -moz-image-region: rect(0px 0px 16px 16px); /* collage.png */ -moz-image-region: rect(16px 0px 32px 16px); /* message-read.png */ File to write to [collage.png]: Wrote to collage.png

actually, this script could be super useful. nice to know!

thanks for the script! that's going to save a lot of time in reworking these patches
Here's the updated patch that uses a single message-list.png image. I didn't remove the message.png image yet since it's still being used by Account Central. Once that page gets reworked we can probably strip this image down to the singe imap-deleted that is left. And just to note that the do_collage.sh is awesome, but needs the following patch: @@ -11,9 +11,9 @@ let h=16; let top=0; -let right=w; +let right=0; let bottom=h; -let left=0; +let left=w; let images=$#-1 for file in ${@}; do

Fix the bug Bryan found, remove/fix old bogus comments.

Comment on attachment 372127 [details] [diff] [review] updated patch using moz-image-region Looks good! r=mkmelin (with a mumble about message-new.png also not matching the folder icon "red sun", but I'll leave the artistic decisions to others)

I just realized, I guess we need to put the source images into hg too somehow - otherwise it's a major pain in the future when someone wants to change one of them. Something like in a dir mail/icons/unpackaged/ perhaps?
I was going to do that, however there was a movement to put all the "design" related source artifacts in a separate repository (bug 476008); however my account has yet to be created (bug 476056) so the files are just on my laptop for now. I'd like to put your script in that same repository if you don't mind.
Sure, feel free to!
