Hi Aris, by modifying the box shadow and the transparency of these items, I've been able to get things with a bit more outlining. But since I'm relying on box shadow, I'm only getting further outlining in the tops and bottoms of boxes, not the sides, which still have the original very thin outlining. It's better this way, but still very far away from how things used to look pre-29 (Mac.) You can see how soft the outlining is here. I could make the box shadow even darker, but then it gets completely out of whack with the sides outlining, which isn't affected.
Still trying for harder, darker edges: what I don't understand and have been completely unsuccessful doing, is why whenever I modify border color to any value other than .2 (in the first set of the three modifications in the code you gave me), the outlining disappears or turns white.
Perhaps you can suggest something to get that done (or why darkening border color just isn't working, no matter what I try), which would be far preferable to relying on box shadow. I would prefer the hard edges of border color rather than box shadow. This is the original code for the first set that I'm talking about, shown un-modified with border color still at .2 and the original box shadow.
Code: Select all
toolbar .toolbarbutton-1:not(:-moz-any([type="menu-button"],[disabled],[open],#back-button,#forward-button)):not(:hover),
toolbar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"]:not([disabled]):not(:hover):not([open]) > .toolbarbutton-menubutton-button,
toolbar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"]:not([disabled]):not(:hover):not([open]) > .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker,
toolbar .toolbaritem-combined-buttons:not(:hover) > .toolbarbutton-combined {
border-color: hsla(0,0%,0%,.2) !important;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 hsla(0,0%,100%,.5),
0 1px 0 hsla(0,0%,100%,.5) inset !important;
}
This is the modified box shadow
Code: Select all
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 hsla(0,0%,20%,.3),
0 1px 0 hsla(0,0%,20%,.3)
Apple has started in with this low contrast, dimmed idiocy also. But these buttons in Apple Mail, while reflecting the dimming/low contrast design idiocy, at least show things a bit more clearly, with harder edges. If I could get icons and buttons in Firefox to at least look like these, that would be more satisfying.
