It turns out that the new Options window was being held up by one line. I had the new preferences.css file in browser/preferences, but the window would be drawn transparent with only the section button/tabs at the top and the OK/Cancel dialog buttons on the bottom. It needed the prefwindow XUL element added to the global style definition in global/global.css as noted by ehume in the theme change forum thread (almost one year ago). So that works now. It’s not fully styled yet, but at least i can use it.

Also have the Software Update window (the one that pops up and alerts you that a new version of Firefox is available) has been just about finished for a few days now. It wasn’t working before because i had update.css in the mozapps directory but not updates.css, which i confused at a glance. I still need to give it the usual thorough scrubbing—adding and removing styles to cover all situations, and check for as many bugs as i can. I already stumbled on one just now—the updater couldn’t connect to the server and showed an error, which wasn’t styled as i’d like. It’s hard to know what all these selectors are for just by reading through the CSS; comments are sparse, and are more often than not dev notes about bugs rather than explaining what certain styles are for.

On 20060210 i noticed and copied tabDragIndicator.png to global/tabDragDrop from the default theme, but that alone didn’t fix the tab drag indicator. I haven’t looked into it any further.

Noticed a few days ago that there some weirdness in the Create in: menulist in the Add Bookmark dialog. The list items styles are a little off and the list popup has scrollbars, neither of which happened in previous versions of Firefox.
