Description

I guess the followingissues would be possible to solve in a real theme but that’s work for a mozilla/XUL expert:

  • the browser color is slightly diffrent from the WM decoration color, even though it is asked to be the same color. I guess some filtering happens and failed to find a way to “reverse” it.
  • the icons are not exactly the same as IEs
  • there is a “Tor browser” menu but I but in nxt to the tabs, which is the best I found.

To improve the browser’s camouflage we sould find such an expert.

Assigning to Alan, as he assigned the parent ticket to himself. Alan, don’t hesitate asking for help or contacts if needed :)

Customizing userChrome.css seems to allow good theming possibilities. To find them one might use the DOM inspecto to inspect chrome://browser/content/browser.xul (trying to solve Bug #7401).

I’m tempted to give up on improving current camouflage and focus on Jessie-based Tails. Does anyone disagrees.

I haven’t heard any users complaints about the camouflage, so I’d say it’s good enough (maybe frontdesk people will disagree, I only see irc).

I don’t see why this ticket is Wheezy-specific. If we ship a Windows Camouflage for Tails/Jessie, we’ll still want it to change the appearance of the browser.

I won’t work on this, as anyway it’s likely we’re going to drop the camouflage mode for jessie.
