Over the course of tabs-in-titlebar on OS X, we've accumulated quite a few magic numbers in the code that handles how to draw the tabs in titlebar (or how to draw things when tabs _aren't_ in the titlebar). That technical debt is starting to become pretty expensive. For one thing, it's making fixing bug 973694 difficult, because it doesn't allow me to easily position the private browsing indicator at the top of the window in a nice way. I think we should try to simplify the OS X titlebar handling stuff a bit.
This will want a const introduced in bug 946987.
Depends on: 946987

Comment on attachment 8401913 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v1.1 Review of attachment 8401913 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Some prelinary notes from a screenshot diff on 10.9 in case you're still around. Some of these may be acceptable but I haven't investigated yet: * Note that the fullscreen button's vertical position shifted slightly when we are bring it down. I need to check if it is aligned with the other three * This causes a regression that the customization mode texture doesn't appear at the top of the window. (feedback- for this) * This patch changes the horizontal position of the the fullscreen button when tabs are not in the titlebar and a LWT is applied

The fullscreen button should move down 1px.

Like I said though, going to ensure this doesn't somehow regress CART. Try builds coming next.

It shouldn't be in browser.inc, at least not without a more careful name. browser.css using it like you are is essentially a bug. In reality, that number is something like the tabs' min-height and using it as if it were the tab bar's static height is bogus.
My understanding is that we decided months ago that we don't support anything other than a height of @tabHeight@ on OS X which is why I was fine with it (I thought of this issue too).
browser.inc is cross-platform. I can already see the patches making use of tabHeight elsewhere. As for OS X, my understanding is that the current situation is a compromise but nonetheless a bug that we'd fix if feasible.
Alright, so how do you recommend that I proceed? Should I drop using @tabHeight@ entirely?
Flags: needinfo?(dao)
Or do you recommend we rename tabHeight to something else?

I would also use this in https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/themes/shared/tab-selected.svg?raw=1 for the two @height attributes and in that case "tabHeight" is fairly accurate.

Perhaps, but I don't think it's a priority, this bug isn't introducing the problem, and I don't see us fixing it in the next week for 29 so I don't think we need to fix it now. I'm okay with renaming the define to tabMinHeight in browser.inc (of course then I wouldn't use it in tab-selected.svg). (In reply to Mike Conley (:mconley) from comment #16) > Alright, so how do you recommend that I proceed?

I guess we already do this for LWT though and in my testing with "window.alert('foo')" from the browser console we sheet just appears at the very top edge of the window instead which is not ideal. Since we're already doing this for LWT and we haven't seen reports of other issues, I think it's fine to do in customize mode for now unless you have a way to avoid this. Ideally we'd fix LWT too but we can do both of these in a follow-up.

Rename it to @tabMinHeight@ or move it back to tabs.inc.css or both. Either way the outcome should be that it's not so tempting to use it all over the place in browser.css.

Alright, so here's how I'm going to proceed: 1) I'm going to address the two issues that MattN brought up, and then land this. 2) I'm going to file a follow-up bug to rename the tabHeight define to tabMinHeight.

Without -moz-appearance: none, the texture doesn't stretch up into the titlebar, and it looks wonky when the window is in the background. I'll file a follow-up bug to deal with it. Maybe we can tag a visibility: hidden pseudoelement onto the titlebar in the customizing / LWT case. Thanks for the (as usual) thorough review!

Comment on attachment 8404754 [details] [diff] [review] Patch v1.3 (r+'d by MattN) [Approval Request Comment] Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): Australis. User impact if declined: None directly - except that this patch is a prerequisite for bug 973694, which _does_ have user impact. I'll request approval on that patch once it's had a night to bake on central. Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): Lots of local testing, of course. A night or two on m-c, plus, MattN did a smash-up reviewing job using his screenshot comparison tool to make sure this didn't introduce any regressions (in fact, it fixes a few extra things instead!). Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Given MattN's superior reviewing techniques, I'd say pretty darn low. String or IDL/UUID changes made by this patch: None.
