Use themed arrow for the menu button applet
Last modified: 2015-03-24 13:00:45 UTC
The menu button applet draws its own little white arrow, could use gtk_paint_arrow() instead, might match the theme better.
Vincent: Havoc is refering to the tiny triangle on the Main Menu button

Okay, so I did this and with the default theme its pratically impossible to see. I'll attach a patch and a screenshot with the old arrow and the new one (the old arrow is the one on the left) Maybe the default theme should implement handling the shadow type and the that would be a bit more obvious ?

Two ideas are 1) adapt the foot icon to go with this, overlap is bad even with current arrow and 2) draw the arrow slightly larger. The arrow should probably be larger anyway, people complain that the menu button isn't different enough from launchers.
1) we use this for drawers as well 2) drawing the arrow larger sounds fine ... but I still think a shadow would be desirable, i.e. for the default theme to handle the GtkShadowType passed in ...
I am just removing the GNOMEVER2.1 keyword, because GNOMEVER2.3 is allready set.
So, has anyone been assigned the task of redrawing the foot icon? Tigert?

I updated Mark's patch. I made the arrow a bit bigger too.
Marking priority as high because of the updated patch.
Tiny UI change, but a UI change non-the-less. Punting to 2.8
2004-05-13 Mark McLoughlin <mark@skynet.ie> * button-widget.c: (calc_arrow), (button_widget_expose): use gtk_paint_arrow() to draw the little triangle on menu buttons rather than drawing a rectangle manually. Fixes bug #103342.
