GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315932
Form components GTK integration
Last modified: 2006-05-18 01:33:45 UTC
Hi, Currently form components do not integrate with the gnome GTK theme, for example the submit button or drop down menus are just the default grey color, not the color in the gnome theme. I thought it would be great that, unless a form component has been styled, it should take on the default gtk theme. At the moment this feature is in windows, and i think it works pretty well. I think it would be great because it would integrate epiphany into gnome alot better.
Hello, what is the status here? Any plans/news? I'm wondering why scrollbars get the native look while other elements (radio/push/dropdown/lists/checkboxes/labels) get a 1990's look. It would be incredible to be able to have Epiphany integrate "perfectly" in GNOME 2.13/2.14, it would help a lot HIG-wise too. What are the chances of this being fixed anytime soon? Thanks for your time
This is a problem in gecko (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232553) and is highly unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

Kazekahaze (based on khtml) have the same issues, so it's unlikelly a gecko speciffic thing. It's probably more something like the gnome ppl doesn't want to use gtk native widgets at all.
Are you kidding? O_o the mozilla bug report, if I remember correctly, says it's pretty much just an issue of "no one is working on it for now @ mozilla, we're accepting patches". Also, see the blog of Robert O'Callahan http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2005/04/cairo_status.html http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2005/05/cairo_progress.html http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2006/02/cairo_linux_and_gtk2_themes.html http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2006/04/gnome_themes_in_html.html I've never heard (personally) gnome people saying they did not want native widgets - I heard mozilla people saying it would be difficult / annoying because of themed widgets (read: CSS), but never gnome users. So far, I've only seen people like me who want eye candy (noooow!) and native integration. And, wasn't that the same thing that happened with Safari I think?
