(+firefox-dev for visibility, but please reply to dev-platform),

Hey,

Just a PSA that the themed form controls on Linux Nightly are going to
change soonish (when bug 1689359[1] is merged to central).

This is controlled by the widget.disable-native-theme-for-content pref.
You can turn it on on other platforms if you want to test them too, the
idea is that this will become the default for all platforms in the
future, so testing and bug reports would be greatly appreciated!

It should fix some compat issues (GTK has usually huge default form
controls) and will pave the way to remove unconditional X11 connections
from content processes, which is a requirement for Fission.

The controls should be nicer / more consistent generally, but if you
find something odd, or broken, please do reach out. You can file bugs
against:

* Bug 1411425 [2] for Linux-specific stuff (only scrollbars are
Linux-specific).

* Bug 1535761 [3] for OS-independent stuff.

Feel free to ni? me for improved turnaround times :-)

This is not just my work. Huge thanks to spohl, heycam and mstange, who
did most of the work (my memory sucks, so sorry if I missed someone!).

Huge thanks to all the people that tested this early and filed bugs too
(gcp / Itiel / evilpies / julienw come to mind as I'm writing this, but
I'm sure I'm missing lots of others!).

Cheers,

-- Emilio

This is awesome! Thanks heycam, emilio, spohl and everyone else who?s
helped with this. It has been a lot of work to get it this far.

The Fission team is eagerly waiting for non-native theming. :)
