asked on

CSS to make my dropdowns look like Firefox in Ubuntu

Hey there,

I really like the way the drop down list boxes (<select>) look in Firefox under Ubuntu.  Is there any way I can replicate that using CSS so it looks like that in Firefox for Windows?

I don't need to worry about IE or anything.  

Thanks.

Here's a view with the dropdown open.  See the dropshadow and how clean it is?

PS - I used "scrot" command line utility to take this picture.  I love Linux!

Elements such as DropDowns, Buttons etc are governed by the Operating System, not the browser and can't readily be changed using CSS. You can change certain properties such as background-color, font, font-size etc, but the actual elements themselves - no go I'm afraid.

There are various Javascript solutions available, but I've never tried them. I tend to think that form elements work best if they are left to look consistently like form elements across the OS.
