Has anyone noticed that the default Firefox toolbar icons (which Themes SAYS is the default Firefox 2.0 Theme set) is definitely NOT the default theme set? The icons in the current Rawhide firefox are plug-ugly, and do not match the default firefox icons that are present on my Windows box, my Mac, and FC2 (those all match each other). I'm not sure what these icons are, but they need to be replaced by the correct default firefox icons!
Currently sitting as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138986 which was reported last November and has not had a developer reply yet. Just curious if I am the only one experiencing the problem. Thanks,
-Sean

Hi, what you describe seems to be a feature, since rawhide firefox uses icons from your gnome theme. This is imho a great improvement, because the look and feel is now a lot more consistent. To have other icons, you may install another firefox theme or change / modify your gtk-theme. You could also try to pick the default theme from the original firefox package, but I'm not sure whether this works.
Though, I agree with you that it may be confusing to call the theme 'Firefox (default) 2.0'.

An interesting thought, although I have the same ugly icons in KDE as well. Looking around on the 'net, I found a thread at mozillazine.org that indicates that the Firefox folks would like the default theme to be consistent across platforms (which makes sense), and this is the case on every platform I have used Firefox on. The reason(s) this seems more like a bug than a feature to me are:
-The icons look nothing like any other platform; which all use the same default theme
-If you click View --> Toolbars --> Customize, The "Bookmarks, History, and "Download" icons are non-existent, while the "New Tab" icon looks like it was drawn by a 3-year old
If for some reason Fedora is going to go with a non-standard theme (even though it erroneously claims to be the default theme), can we go with something that is at least pleasing to the eye, like Noia or Qute?
Firefox is the default web browser on FC4, it is the App that most people use on a frequent basis, and is getting all sorts of press right now. All I am asking is that the default icons be the default icons...

Just my 2 cents, and if I had a clue how to fix it myself, I'd submit a patch. <sigh...>

bugzilla this, as this obviously needs to be addressed, even if it is with the ugly icons. ;-]

It of course rasies the question, why have a GTK+ version of firefox (a officially supported option) if 'they' don't want you to use GTK+ icons in the interface.

I like that mozilla looks consistent with the rest of my desktop, instead of the 'Good Old Days (tm)' when it stood out like a saw thumb.
I'm not actually sure that FC4 isn't doing anything that the mozilla developers haven't helped happen.

Amen to that. IMNSHO, themeable apps are evil. Or at least themeable apps that don't let me pick "use my desktop theme, dammit" for a theme are evil.

Dang, a triple negative? Well, I followed it, at least. ;-) And agree, of course. It's always good practice to have a good working relationship with upstream developers. But if they don't like you customizing their software, they should evaluate the terms under which they've distributed their software. That said, it is a little odd, and probably not a good idea to have a theme named as it is upstream, but using different icons.

I didn't mean to be that negative ;-]

While I get your drift, suggesting that two distinct groups shouldn't call their particular default themes 'default' is a little strange don't you think? ;-]
