Bug 34319 – Web Inspector: wire together buttons on welcome view and on status bar

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mikhail Naganov]

In Profiles panel, pressing buttons on the Welcome view doesn't change their look, only status bar button repaints itself. This is confusing, because it may appear to an user that the welcome view button doesn't work.

I think, welcome view and status bar buttons must update their look regardless of what button was pressed.

It is now even more confusing - once you toggle a button, welcome message stops making sense: it suggests that red button starts the profiler.

OK, another approach, this time by limiting functionality.

This is how it looks like: http://i42.tinypic.com/dgt5wk.png

            Remove a possibility of confusion from Profiles panel Welcome screen
            by turning buttons into non-clickable glyphs. Also, span instructions
            alongside panel width.
