[opensuse] Thunderbird/Firefox styling issues on 10.1
Hi, after upgrading from SuSE 9.0 to 10.1, the same firefox and thunderbird RPMs (our own packages recompiled from the source rpms in projects/mozilla) have a very different look (colors, frames, buttons,...): http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/firefox_old.gif http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/firefox_new.gif Since the user profile and the RPMs installed on 9.0 and 10.1 are exactly the same, it must depend on some system stuff, and I would like to understand where it comes from and if I can change it. Btw, on 10.1, our own RPMsl ooks the same like the official SuSE RPMs for 10.1, so it's not an issue of our own recompiled binaries.. I had similar issues with Opera which I could resolve with qtconfig. Is there sth. similar that affects the mozilla programs? I know about hacking userChrome.css etc. and did a lot with this, but some basic rules must be defined somewhere outside firefox etc., otherwise the same RPM could not look so diferrent on 9.0 and 10.1. Can someone enlighten me? :-) (Because I really don't like the new look...) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

The Firefox default theme uses GTK settings to support some native theming. Usually the native theming was only used under Gnome or KDE (through qtgtkengine) but nowadays with the latest GTK update: * Do Mai 04 2006 - dobey@suse.de - Add in default gtkrc file to set theme/icon theme under KDE/etc Fixes https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=172779 it's also active without a gnome-settings-daemon (or alike) running under other windowmanagers. So if you don't like it you can change the gtkrc file or change your gtk theme in gnome-control-center. I have to admit that I like the look because GTK without any kind of theming is simply ugly.

Ok, thanks, that really helps!

Well, I've styled my Thunderbird for weeks to make it look like the old netscape 3.x/4.x because I was so much used to it :-) Then suddenly having yellow 3d buttons in that style somehow confused me ;-) Thanks! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
