Created attachment 13464 [details] Initial css (from mediawiki.ui.vector.css) The native "Save Changes" button in the corner here on Bugzilla looks horrible (at least on my Browser+OS combo). Lets try applying some style (how about the new mw.ui buttons being used in Vector).

If you would like to turn this into a Gerrit patch, the code is at https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/wikimedia%2Fbugzilla%2Fmodifications.git/HEAD/skins%2Fcontrib%2FWikimedia
Change 106864 had a related patch set uploaded by 01tonythomas: Gave Bugzilla's "Save Changes" button style. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/106864
(Maybe my comment 3 towards the bug reporter was confusing for third parties, as it might have implied that I recommend and already support this change.) So the proposed style can be seen e.g. for "Create another account" on https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Wiktionary%3AMain+Page&type=signup but not for "Save" at the bottom of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Preferences?useskin=vector which is semantically close enough to Bugzilla's "Save Changes" button. Hence I am not convinced why we should introduce such style inconsistency and make buttons look that much different from all other UI elements in our Bugzilla, but I welcome good arguments. :) Technically: For approaches to make Bugzilla look more like MediaWiki's Vector skin, editing the CSS file /skins/contrib/Wikimedia/vector.css feels like a better fit.

If that's an issue how about widening the scope of the bug? An interested party could try to restyle all the other form inputs to match those vector styles being created.
Alright, however I wonder how to keep Bugzilla CSS and MediaWiki UI in sync in the long run...
