Description of problem: The default toolbar icons are not the standard Firefox icons and need considerably more energy directed at integrating them to achieve the same polish: o They mis-match the default "un-translated" shapes (lock/secure site symbol, new tab icon on tab bar, throbber, all the preferences icons) o They graphically mis-match the container button relief shapes on mouseover. (The icons are rough and sketchy, the relief shapes are smooth and technical.) o Their scale is too small, hard to read, and out of proportion with adjacent text (higher-res 1600x1200 display). o The icons mis-match the style found in the Firefox graphic in the About dialog. o The default Fedora Core 4 theme (Clearlooks) has a polished, smooth technical look which does not match the character of the "old" GNOME icons in the toolbar. o The theme title "Firefox (default)" is erroneous, this is the default GNOME theme, not the default Firefox one. Anyone who has ever used Firefox (1million downloads) would be confused by it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.4 How reproducible: Always Expected results: Suitable refinement to the shipped icons should have occured before dispatching Firefox's default icons. The argument for an integrated desktop environment is baseless here... it is obvious that branding GNOME was a higher priority than any actual integration given the number of rough edges left by this change.
I've got to agree. The firefox 'theme' they created for Fedora Core 4 is ugly. No offense to whomever created it. Could you at least offer the standard firefox theme in addition to this new 'ugly' theme? I'm working on a way to get rid of it by hand and revert to the standard firefox icons.
*** Bug 161289 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm observing not an ugly default theme, but one without any navigation buttons in the default theme. This is on a system recently upgraded from FC3 to FC4. Installing another theme is a viable workround, though.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Things look fine in FC6, this can be closed.
Closing per reporter's request.
