File upload uses older style buttons

Submitted by .Chris on November 7, 2008 to Aesthetics

First time using a mac in over 10 years, but this is my first time ever using it for personal use.

While uploading some files to a forum, I found a very anoying bug...

as you can see an older style buttons can be scene. none of the other buttons feature the aqua style...

That's Firefox's fault, not OS X's.

I don't know, I don't even see what you mean with 'old'.

Seriously, I don't see it. This is aqua - okay, it doesn't look like the Finder's buttons (the embedded plastic ones used in Leopard) but that's important - it distinguishes the upload window from a regular finder window, making it's use obvious.

If that's not what you meant, then I'm demoting you anyway since I don't see any problem (and I'm a UI checker).

.Chris: Correct - the "old style" upload box (rather the non-webkit file upload box) is rendered by Firefox, not by OS X. Thus, it's Firefox's fault, not OS X's.

I'm with japser, I don't see what's being talked about here. Are we talking about the view and forward/back buttons in the file upload window?

.Chris, thanks for giving me a laugh by misspelling when telling someone to use their brain. ;)

well it doesnt take a rocket scitence to figure it out

must be real blind not to see it..

Okay honestly, you guys are insane. Except that it doesn't use the sheet-metaphor it's got all the Leopard buttons (okay, so they're not embedded steel like the Finder - but that isn't a problem, it deferentiaties).

@.Chris: comments like that make finding it harder.
