Attached patch Fabrice's old patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
We'd like to add some support for simple personalization using Lightweight Themes (Persona) Fabrice started a patch a while ago. I'll add it as a WIP, but it's bitrotted.
CC' shorlander He had a nice mockup of an idea for the startup page
Attached image Lightweight Theme Mockup (deleted) —
Mockup of how it could work on the start page and in the toolbar while browsing.
That looks great, but persona headers are not tall enough to fill the full height of the start page. In the add-on I wrote for XUL fennec, I worked around that by fading into a gradient using the dominant color of the header image.

Probably out of scope for this but I think for the best experience we should consider adding an option for submitting full sized mobile specific images. Or for even more future proofing just larger sizes in general that we could use for desktop and resize+crop for mobile. :)
Sent this in an email, but it probably belongs here too
Attached patch WIP (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
(So many things :O :O) This patch adds the capability in the Gecko side to listen for LightweightTheme based events and passes it on to the Java. Gecko takes charge of downloading the image file. Java reads the image file and informs the listeners (who registered themselves to sport a persona image) about the new persona. Listeners ask the Persona for cropped drawable based on where they are in the window. They apply this as their background. Design decisions: 1. Persona has to be single instance. (With all hatred over existing single instances :( ), I am creating the instance inside GeckoApplication -- which by itself is a single instance (yaaaay!). 2. Instead of Persona taking care of applying the background, the view takes care of how to apply the background. And since we have already created most of the views that render the curved background, this is just an extension of the capability. 3. Some views (like TabsButton, MenuButton) ask for drawable with "alpha" (yes! LayerDrawable and alpha are worst enemies! and have to do it in CanvasDelegate way). This is taken care of my a special kind of Drawable called PersonaDrawable. 4. AboutHomeContent is a special kind. Persona, by default, sees if the cropped image exacts fits the View. If not, it gets the dominant color, creates a ColorDrawable and adds the cropped image to it. The cropped image has to nicely blend with this ColorDrawable. Again, PersonaDrawable comes in for rescue. (Captain America!) To Do: 1. Reset is not currently handled. The view knows (or actually, should know) its default background and reset it. 2. Desktop shows a "confirmation" doorhanger UI. The support is there in Gecko, just needs to be un-commented. 3. On rotation, AboutHomeContent (alone) doesn't refresh. This is a bit crazy UI, and there are a few race conditions. Needs a bit more effort to see when exactly to refresh it. 4. I haven't really tested on tablets yet. Might/might not work as expected. I need to tweak the XML a bit. 5. Each TextView (or the parent like AboutHomeSection) should register for Persona changes. Based on the brightness of the dominant color, they can change the text color. This is a one-time change for the views as long as they exist, and wouldn't regress performance. 6. I would like moving PersonaDrawable, TabsPanelToolbar out of their containing classes. This would make the code more readable and each class self contained. 7. Back/Forward buttons in tablet should be recreated like just another ShapedButton, and then Persona should be applied. 8. AwesomeBar should sport Persona (including SearchSuggestions). Difficulties faces: 1. There is a setAlpha() for Drawable. Unfortunately LayerDrawable doesn't use this properly. For TabsButton, the image should have some alpha over the dark textured background. Android does some optimization and thinks that the image fits the entire view and doesn't draw the textured background. This makes the alpha drawable (set through bits in bitmap), to show the "+" from the TabsPanel. Hence PersonaDrawable mentioned above is the only way. 2. I tried getting the drawable by getResources().getDrawable() and finding the layer and replacing the image. I didn't work. LevelListDrawable and StateListDrawable doesn't really have option to get a Drawable for a particular level / state. Hence, any change in XML should be manually reflected in Java code too. 3. When registering as a listener, if the event is not posted to the UI thread, the app crashes as the width and height are not ready yet. So, we need to post it on UI thread. And this looks a bit ugly. 4. Padding gets reset when applying a background: http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg09595.html. Hence we need to manually restore the padding when changing the background. Doubts: 1. Finding the dominant color: My current logic is to find the dominant color of the AboutHomeContent (only section that would need this) and use it for ColorDrawable (Design decision #4). However, this is done by Persona and wouldn't be available for AboutHomeSection (Todo #5). I made Persona take the color from the last row. This would ensure Persona to know the dominant color, and use it for ColorDrawable and inform TextViews. However, the effect wasn't as good as the first approach (of using a larger drawable). What's the minimum size that I can take to get the dominant color -- so that Persona has it. 2. Text colors: There are 3 text-colors in AboutHomeContent currently -- title, subtitle, link. What should be the colors for light and dark themes? 3. Opacity: I don't understand the 70% opacity in the spec. Which should have opacity and which should be opaque? Suggestions: I somehow feel like adding the dominant color (with opacity) to the background of the TabsPanel. I am not sure how it'll look though.

Attached patch Patch (1/4): Change in animation for personas (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch changes the animation used in tablets. Once the animation completes, the translation is made to be 0, and the margin is applied to the entire BrowserToolbar. Thereby the entire BrowserToolbar fits to be in the screen. There might be a very small visual glitch while animating on closing tabs-tray. This cannot be avoided. Also, the use of RightEdge is causing a visual glitch while animating, as its background doesn't animate with the entire animation.

This patch is same as the WIP posted earlier -- with animations and rotations perfected. Currently there is no visual lag while rotating. The dominant color is found only once for an image (to preserve consistency while rotating).

The animation translates the views in the BrowserToolbar -- for smooth animation. Hence I reset the translation and add a margin -- which shrinks the BrowserToolbar as required.

RightEdge (now made a custom view) is used by lucasr to show the right curve of the url-bar. Basically the url-bar translates "behind" the "right edge, action-bar menu items and menu button". This makes it feel like the "url-bar" shrinks and doesn't actually "cut off". > > >diff --git a/mobile/android/base/LightweightTheme.java b/mobile/android/base/LightweightTheme.java > > >+ // Post the reset on the UI thread. > >+ for (OnChangeListener listener : mListeners) { > >+ final OnChangeListener oneListener = listener; > >+ oneListener.post(new Runnable() { > > Are we sure this will always get called on the UI thread?

Then LightweightThemeConsumer can query for the component (or module) and call nsINativeThemeConsumer.update(...) which would do whatever needed to happen for the native UI. Fennec would send the message to the Java UI.

The about:home didnt resize on phones. Hence had to refactor it. (But actually this patch is wrong -- my new patch will have it right). > You're triggering a relayout at the beginning of the animation.

A re-layout is happening only for BrowserToolbar. I don't think all elements in it will have a re-layout (this happened to me when I was trying to do a mLayout.requestLayout() and mTabs didnt receive any). My assumption is that only mAddressBarBg alone is re-laid due to this. The reason behind not all elements are re-laid out is because of hardware acceleration. Please correct me if am wrong here. Also, this will not affect the phones. This is only for 10" tablets.
This changes the setTabsAnimation() and resetTabsAnimation() to use a single method -- adjustTabsAnimation(). I've addressed other questions in my previous comment.

We don't have anything unique yet, but will soon in bug 797613. We can file new bugs for updating the Makefiles once that lands.
Unfortunately, this was backed out due to Android bustage that it was caught up in the middle of (the bustage couldn't be cleanly backed out without taking this with it). Feel free to re-land when the tree's a bit quieter. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/2301d07ca953

:xti, can you check if there's a basic smoke-test for applying a theme (maybe archived from the XUL test-cases); if not, can you add-one?
