Why theme Mozilla when you can theme the OS?
Authored by: a1291762 on May 21, '02 07:19:21PM

Since Mozilla's 'classic' mode uses native stuff for drawing, it will pick up your underlying OS theme (eg. I have sosumi installed)

This is where theming should come from, not in each application.

I'm pretty sure that Mozilla will pick up the OS theme on XP too.

Huh? Mozilla's classic theme does not use native widgets, rather, it makes a rather poor attempt to simulate the look of native widgets. It looks awful. Unfortunately, so do these 3rd party attempts to simulate Aqua.
