This is a tracking bug to track all instances of chrome:// urls to GIF files that are hardcoded in c++ source. This can be closed once all the bugs it depends on are closed.

Until all the bugs blocking this one are fixed, it will not be possible to create a skin using only PNGs (or MNGs for that matter). This therefore blocks bug 8415.

A comment: the common dialog service allows clients to specify the image to be displayed in the dialog. 9 times out of 10, this is one of four standard images, /HOWEVER/ sometimes the client can provide their own image (e.g. the drag-link-home alert). So getting rid of hardcoded URLs breaks down here, because the client (in this case, navigator) has no way of creating a rule to be matched in the common dialog code (which lives in global). Thoughts?

Ben, the complaint here is not that hard-coded URLs are included at all, it is that we are effectively insisting that skin authors use the GIF format for them. > 9 times out of 10, this is one of four standard images Er, three standard images and one non-standard image, actually. See bug 59820.
