build 1999042908, mac os only. although the new mac apprunner icon looks swell, it's very difficult to double-click on as lots of the icon's area is transparent - the clicks pass straight through to the desktop. not being able to design an icon myself, i'm not familiar with the correct terminology, but if it's possible so that any click across the entire image is registered correctly, that would be ideal. thanks!

Not a UI bug. Assign to Don.

Simon, you just did the new icon, right?
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
OK, I'll fiddle with the icon mask. Note, you'll have to rebuild your desktop to see the new icons, when they're done.
Just out of curiosity, were you using small icons (list view), or large icons?
Big honking icons (an alias located on the Mac desktop).
QA assigning several orphaned UI/UE bugs. cpratt, I'm giving you the ones you wrote :-), and I'll take the rest.
Target Milestone: M15
I presume that we'll get some artwork at some stage for the icon, and it will change completely.

assigning this to Shuang since she is our UI lead
Chnage miletont to M14, and reset severity to normal. cc-ing eli and don. eli,will you be the QA contact for this one, right? The res file will be ready within two weeks. by then we will need to find an eng that's responsible for putting the icon in. also, the icon(s) we are providing at this time will be Netscape build only.
Severity: minor → normal
Target Milestone: M14

Summary: [PP] mac apprunner icon is very difficult to open → mac apprunner icon is very difficult to open
I think this one is fixed: Netscape build has the netscape icon, mozilla has the "m" and both of them are not "difficult to open" any more. Anyone has different opinion? otherwise, i am closing this bug and eli can you please verify it soon.

Mozilla for Netscape uses an icon suite that Simon Fraser put together before any UI resources were available, rather than the Windows "M" icon. I believe there is another bug dealing with the fact that the Mozilla icon mask enables clicks pass through to the desktop, and this is probably a duplicate. CC:ing Simon in case it rings a bell.

I do not think this issue be ignored. I do not like the current icon at all because of this bug. No icon should require user some getting used to clicking the right position.

Of course it's being ignored, it's assigned and QA assigned to two people who are long gone.

*** Bug 66936 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Milestone 0.8 has been released. We should either resolve this bug or update its milestone.
Is anybody interested in implementing Giovanni's icons? http://www.crosswinds.net/~ggc/ For desktop icons (resource ID128), it is not difficult to adapt his. For others such as documents, plug-ins, extensions, etc, and, especially small icons, it requires more tweaking.
if we pick those icons this should be easy enough for anyone w/ a mac to do. resetting milestone to match bug 43647.
Target Milestone: M16 → mozilla0.9
I'll see if changing the mask so there's no longer a hole in the middle works... but it could look awful...
Assignee: hangas → lordpixel
Can you make icons, and add BNDLs etc to viewer and the PPEmbed smaple too please? Ensure they each have a unique creator code.
OK. Can do, but first, here's what the icons look like with the middle filled in, against a white background and a patterned one. Is this what we want?

Attached image Icons with a more solid mask (deleted) —
OK, I made a red version of the icon for Viewer, and the appropriate BNDL resources. This is using the creator 'MOZV'. S. Dagley, Simon Fraser said that you handle registering creators and types with Applet DTS. Can you do this one please? Also we'll need MOZP for the PowerPlant embeded version. Icons and BNDLs for that will be forthcoming...
OK made a stripy "under construction" version for powerplant embed. Attached project file to build app with type MOZP and altered resources to have BNL and icon. Reviews please!
Keywords: patch, review
I submitted a registration request for MOZV and MOZP creator codes. No confirmation yet but they were listed as available when I did a search.

I found issues with the patches I made to add icons to the other 2 apps last night. To avoid this bug getting any messier I'll split the new icon stuff into a new bug and CC: people on it. Attachemnt 26098 fixes this bug and should be reviewed and checked in please...

Patch is good but no reviews -> 0.9.1

Didn't the new mozilla icon obsolete this bug?
Ow, those yellow stripey icons hurt mine eyes! Anyway, we have the M icon now, so this is dead. Sorry Andy!

Oh, is that on for non-carbon builds now? OK, bug is invalid. <rant> Shame, that new one is really really lame (just less lame than most of the others posted to the newsgroups). A blue square with an M on it and a cheesy 3d border. <ugh> <ugh> <ugh> Can't we get The Icon Factory to make something nice? </rant>
