I also think there is value in implementing this on desktop.
The issue of lack of support for styling form controls is not new, and it hurts all form controls. I wouldn't make the perfect the enemy of the good here.

IMO given the number of people who have complained about the lack of this feature on bug 825294, we should assume it is desirable to have even if unstylable. If somebody claims otherwise the burden of proof should be on them to show data that falsifies the assumption. kats On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 3:06 PM, Xidorn Quan <quanxunz...@gmail.com <mailto:quanxunz...@gmail.com>> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 6:57 PM, Jonas Sicking <jo...@sicking.cc> wrote: >> On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 12:36 AM, Xidorn Quan <quanxunz...@gmail.com <mailto:quanxunz...@gmail.com>> wrote: >>> Authors sometimes just want something usable.

I'd really recommend talking to web developers rather than guessing at their needs. I hear *a lot* of webdevelopers complaining about the lack of ability to style current controls. But don't take my word for it, do reach out to developers, we have a developer relations team that I'm sure is happy to help. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org <mailto:dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org> https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
