153 esr Changes to windows buttons

Thunderbird Themes

Hi.

Just had a not requested update to 153 esr, which in itself is generally fine, with a small exception.

The windows min, max and close buttons all come up with a code.

Probably just some weird setup I have but any ideas will be welcome.

I use userChrome.css to give a background colour, so maybe the ID of each has changes for any css

  1. titlebar-min{height:1.66em; background:#00b !important}
  2. titlebar-max{height:1.66em; background:#090 !important}
  3. titlebar-close{height:1.66em; background:#d00 !important}

but I don't see how that would effect the actual bare icon

Thank you

OK Update:

By removing the css I went back to 'normal' and the min,max,close icon were 'normal' so I edited out my font css

font-family: Candara, "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif !important; font-size:16px !important;

which sorted that.

Now I will try and get the formatting sorted:

Looks like the IDs for the buttons has changed as cannot format them. Will get back here when I have a solution

Thanks for being here

I think looking at the image that the "code" is the custom unicode for the item.

Looking in the developer tools, I found this 

.titlebar-min {
  /* Even though we use appearance: none, -moz-default-appearance is necessary
   * for Windows 11's "snap layouts" feature, see
   * DealWithWindowsAppearanceHacks */
  -moz-default-appearance: -moz-window-button-minimize;
  content: "\e921"; /* ChromeMinimize */
  @media (prefers-contrast) {
    content: "\ef2d"; /* ChromeMinimizeContrast */

in messenger.css https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/mail/themes/windows/mail/messenger.css

It looks like the image is mapped to a private glyph area of the Unicode font, but it is way over my head. .

Hi Matt

Thanks. Makes sense, so when I set a font it is not a happy bunny :)

Thanks again for your input, especially as I can't get Developer Tools to function :)
