Devtools should have more chalupuiles in its chrome.
Group: mozilla-employee-confidential
Chrome is Lithophile, not Chalcophile.

I suspect that WAT, WONTFIX is a better response, but I'll start with WAT.

WAT?
Attached patch brushed-metal (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Assignee: nobody → rcampbell
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Dave and I were joking about landing a Brushed Metal theme for April 1st.

I'll be the first to admit that April Fool's gags on the internet are cheap, annoying and a source of unpleasantness for a lot of people.

But a Brushed Metal Theme...

http://cl.ly/UhAG

If we agree to do this, we land this on Sunday, back it out on Monday after the nightly's been built.

I'm pretty on-the-fence about this. I don't want to hurt our reputation by letting our users think we might land something frivolous at any time. Then again, it's "just" nightly.

What do you all think?
oh, and in case anyone's wondering what a "chalupuiles" is, it is a fictional breakfast food from Taco Bell that is part Chilaquiles, part Chalupa. I made it up.
I'm just gonna wontfix this. It's a bad idea, though I had a giggle making it.

Is that comic sans? +1 if it's comic sans.
Think we shouldn't be so brash and give this some more thought.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: WONTFIX → ---
I think this would actually be fun if it landed. People using Nightly *must* have a sense of humor, otherwise they wouldn't be on Nightly.
yeah, it's comic sans. (Purisa as a fallback for linux)

I dunno...
Will it be the default theme? Will it be a separate theme from light and dark? Will there be a doge-themed background-image for the options panel?

Doesn't really matter, just ship it (and then un-ship it or optionally hide it behind a pref)
It should probably be the only and default theme :)
(In reply to Victor Porof [:vporof][:vp] from comment #11)
> It should probably be the only and default theme :)

+1!
This really has to happen.
I've never been so delighted to read bugmail at 2am on a weekend.
seems like we have some semblance of consensus. I am suitably terrified.

This patch forcibly switches to the light theme and wedges the brushed metal into that theme. Comic Sans on the toolbars (purisa as fallback for linux).

One issue is the funny background edges in the breadcrumbs. Not sure I care? Anybody want to take a crack at it?
oh, and the options panel has only one theme option available: "Metal".
I'm also +1 on this!

Having a second theme in the options panel would be more "safe" and less likely to stir a firestorm, but in light of recent events I think even so a change in context would be actually welcome, and what we are mostly craving for right now is "fun".
Now I want to file a bug like "devtools should be more user friendly: adds more puppies in its chrome should do the job".

Instead of setting the pref here, I would suggest to modify theme-switching.js line 82 to just hardcode "light".  This will have the bonus of it automatically switching back to their default afterwards.

great suggestion. Was wondering if we could cache the previous setting somehow.
comic sans might be a *bit* much.

With my previous selection, the metal theme wouldn't be selected if your pref was dark.  I would suggest to remove the data-pref from radio group, and set checked="true" on the metal theme.  Also, it could be fun to include light and dark theme as disabled options: 

        <radiogroup id="devtools-theme-box"
                    class="options-groupbox"
                    orient="horizontal">
          <radio checked="true" value="light" label="Metal"/>
          <radio checked="false" disabled="true" value="light" label="&options.lightTheme.label;"/>
          <radio checked="false" disabled="true" value="dark" label="&options.darkTheme.label;"/>
        </radiogroup>

Comic Sans ties everything together.  How can you look at this and not love it? https://www.dropbox.com/s/gk7p2s5goa34bsw/Screenshot%202014-03-31%2010.10.58.png

Not enough Comic Sans. Needs more monospaced Comic Sans. Why aren't we funding a monospaced version of Comic Sans?

Yes, the backout will cause the blame for that line to just be the backout changeset.

If you're just modifying the light theme, maybe it makes sense to remove the light theme option?

Can we add a date check for April first and only do the metal theme that day?

This would require some refactoring, I suppose.

sadly no. It'd require the addition of a full brushed-metal theme and we just don't have that kinda time.
