Mac UI was one of the big Mac usability issues. We'd like to see the classic skin
have more Appearance manager support, such as:
* scroll bar settings
* variation color
* system font

Each of the issues mentioned is covered in other bugs, accordingly I'm adding
dependencies. Conisder marking this with meta keyword...
Whener I do the later someone always complains that I should have set them as
blockers (or vice versa). I'm afraid I don't understand the difference, so if you
feel the need to change what I do please mail me and try to explain why I'm being
stupid. (To my mind the two are redunant. If X blocks Y then Y depends on X. ie.
x if and only if Y, necessary and sufficient and all that).
bug 1004 - should support CSS2 system colors
bug 46174 - [Mac Classic] Widgets don't use Appearance Manager variation color
bug 16277 - Scroll bars should follow user's Smart Scrolling preference
bug 47059 - Font for modern skin is FUGLY! - has a lot of font related info, but
its specific to the modern skin, so I'm *not* adding any dependency.

oops.
Forgot to add
bug 36305 [RFE] Proxy icon in title bar (Mac OS, Windows)
Which would be easy to do and nice to have. Its impact in the Mac community in
making it appear that netscape is trying to cater to them would far outweigh its
actually usefulness. Its just its a recent/Mac OS 9 thing so its "cool"

Added 57488 should use CSS2 system fonts rather than hardcoding Charcoal and
Geneva
Depends on: 57488

Added depends on bug 57490 - Mac classic skin should use CSS2 system colours.
Also - the last solution proposed in bug 16277 could be used as a temporary (but
clunky) fix for the scrollbar colouration problem.
Its not a long term fix because it doesn't help in themes other than Platinum.
See bug 39375 for long term fixes for that issue

here is a related comment from John Kendall (11/15/2000) at
http://www.macintouch.com/netscape6.html:
The classic skin ignores appearance settings. Scrollbars remain blue.

I think I can help take this on, but I believe this will need to be a concerted
effort between engineers on the C++ side and UE folks on the CSS / js side.
This is a _big_ undertaking but I think one which will have a positive impact on
mac user's perception of Mozilla.

How about using the theme protocol? It can custom render various appearance
appropriate widgets, buttons, progress bars.

I believe this bug is almost complete - it's just the refreshing of the ui when
an appearance changes while the app is running I believe. Otherwise it's already
doing just about everything it needs as far as I know.
