mconley

Last week:

  • Australis tabs
    • Major performance wins by switching to PNGs for gradients and curves. MattN and I have an approach that takes Australis to performance parity with the current default theme, at least on bwinton’s little netbook.
    • OSX tabs in titlebar patch now uses chromemargin instead of drawintitlebar, but causes some test failures. Currently investigating.
  • Australis customization
    • Split the Menu Panel code out from the Customization stuff, broke it up into two bugs: bug 844281 and bug 770135.
  • Downloads panel
    • bug 844341 is a regression we’re tracking on Beta, caused by the Feedback add-on. WONTFIXing for Beta, will get fixed when we tear out toolkit download window support (bug 845403).

  • Australis tabs
    • If MattN and I get the Windows patch landed, and perf is happy with it, I polish up the Linux port

    • Get rid of some fragments of customization code out of the menu patch, make panel and button state a thing that the customization UI code doesn’t care about
  • Downloads panel
    • If I get time, start tearing out useToolkitUI support
    • Fix some small alignment problems in the panel that I’ll try to fix in my spare time – unsure if they’ll make it for Beta.
  • More triage!

Blockers:

  • Australis tabs work is blocked on MattN, debitrotting the Windows patch after shared themes landed
  • bug 813802 still up for review
  • Need detailed Downloads Panel alignment spec from shorlander, since I don’t think I ever received a copy

  • Phil has been working on bug 840241 – The inspector-inspect-toolbutton should toggle between turning on/off the picking mode
  • darkowlzz has been working on bug 840745 – default html5 audio/video player controls should facilitate changing playback rate
  • Raymond Heldt fixed bug 812762 – Use &brandShortName; instead of Firefox [gcli]
