Currently we have two initial mockups for private browsing dark theme:
http://people.mozilla.org/~shorlander/private-browsing-mode/mockups/australis-pbm.png

We need to finalize the visual design for private browsing mode, including:
- Different platforms
- Tweak the current design so that it's more subtle, less dramatic
- Add an icon indicator in addition to the dark theme, to make it more clear which mode the user is in, especially for people using dark theme 
* The placement/style of the indicator need to be consistent with the multi-user feature that might come out in the future

Why does it need to be more subtle?

Based on a conversation with shorlander on irc, we decided to not have an icon indicator in the tab area but use the purple menu button as an indication for start. shorlander will take another look at the design above and add a Linux version.
The private browsing in-content message could also benefit from this dark theme.

Updated Spec for OSX based on shipping Australis. Includes various states the main browser chrome can find itself in.

Windows and Linux coming up next.
Still some questions :
- will themes be disabled during PBM ? (FYI some themes are dark too)
- should we update the Icui description mentioning Windows are dark during ONE ?

The color value changes should mostly be CSS and we can probably use the inverted set. It might need some new assets.
Oops, added OS X titlebar, Windows glass fog and Linux tab bar background color values.

How is the menu button supposed to look when the bookmarks toolbar is visible?

Madhava and Philipp commented that this bug can be considered verified and that a separate engineering implementation bug will be filed by Philipp to address the question.
