Sure no browsers support the appearance property, or most of CSS3 for that matter, but thats fine as its not even complete yet. There really is no point in keeping the system colours if when CSS3 is ready all browsers will support the appearance property.
The appearance property can have its nice uses, but it's limited by the collective imagination of the CSS WG. If you want to make your own widget that's not in the list, at least with system colours you can get something reasonably close (and stick to the user's settings, inclusing for instance high contrast).
If it's not broken don't deprecate it. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
