Right on! Fortunately Firefox3 looks absolutely great. We decided that users of 
Firefox are most likely to upgrade soon and that the ugly buttons are most 
likely not an issue at the time we will release TYPO3 4.3. Makes sense?

Well yes looks bad in Firefox2, but that is the only system where it looks bad. 
I tried most browsers and I was very happy with the looks. Certainly from a 
usability perspective. The user is used to that kind of buttons.

One thing that I would like to say is that the HCI team as it is now consists of 
some very capable guys and that we know what we are talking about. I would 
surely like that HCI gets some authority in the TYPO3 community. We can clearly 
make a distinction between some areas where decisions can be made. Isn't it 
strange that we need +1 from developers that are not really responsible for the 
looks but for the functionality. We can always discuss things on the core list, 
but we, as HCI, should certainly have the right to APPROVE an issue as opposed 
to VETO an issue what seems quit fashionable these days.
