most of our front end XUL is a stagnant mess of non-skinnability and HTML elements, screaming out to be rescued pre-beta2. this bug will track bugs dealing with this rewrite.

Hey Ben. What was your plan for doing this. I was pondering that I could write some code to flag any violations of the "skinnability rules". Let me know if that would help.

my plan at present is basically to go from file to file and: a) convert from using html widgets (form, table) to using XUL widgets (XUL checkbox, radio etc and grid) b) clean up structure, remove excess frames c) remove inline style

I'm rewriting each dialog in the XPApps group of packages slowly... john, hyatt had a cool idea yesterday that he plans to check in once we have all the widgets - he's going to create a couple of style rules for debug builds that style all deprecated HTML and XUL widgets with brightly coloured borders. Also, we'll probably create rules to detect for inline style, etc.

Adding 'skins' keyword to appropriate bugs en masse, sorry about any mistakes...

Move to M16 for now ...

Mass-adding beta2 keyword to all skins bugs.

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar.

Move to M17.

99% of the June 22 work is done (as near as I can tell), so I'm moving this to M19 and turning it into a meta tracking bug.

reassigning to skinability

This is pretty much "complete" assuming a minimal level of pedantry. If there are issues relating to non-skinnable windows, I will file new bugs to make the intent clearer.

Adding verifyme keyword.

verified. This is close enough, any remaining issues are minor and can be refiled separately.
