The network error pages are naked, as they derive their styles from global/netError.css, which i haven’t set up yet. This brings up a usability sticking point because if i style the page in LCD fashion, it won’t look like the standard error and may confuse people. On the other hand, i like to be complete, and don’t like to include non-original material in my theme. I did up a completely original stylesheet for the about:plugins page as well as for Help pages, so chances are slim i’ll stay with the default here.

I didn’t realize it at first, but the Update notifiation window is completely unstyled. With the recent push of the 1.5.0.1 update, a little window titlebar popped up out of nowhere, but was empty and couldn’t be resized. I figured it was some stray popup ad, but later realized what it was after seeing the real deal on a machine using the default theme. I already tried to start patching that up by copying over the styles in mozapps/update/updates.css, but it didn’t make any visible changes. I’ll have to scrape the theme updates thread for all the necessary changes.

Also a little annoyed with the unstyled feed button in the Location Bar. It’s taking up a good bit of width, and i end up clicking it accidentally. I’ll have to tie that one up soon.
