Re: Plus/minus signs in expandable side menus [3373]
I’ve only had a little play with 7, setting up my sister’s laptop (yuk), but it seems solid enough. Thank heavens they replaced Vista. That’s actually the reason I’m still on XP but I’m in no big rush to jump. What I do know is that both XP and 7 take a heck of a lot longer to boot and shut down than Ubuntu. Boy does it fly!
Anyway, after that short intermission, let us return you to the subject of this thread. ;)
So are we running with the new “arrows” then Stef? For myself I don’t mind which we use but I wasn’t aware that the +/- and rotating arrow was a Win v. Mac thing. Of course, if that is the case, then we ought to stick with the +/- as apparently it is more widely recognised.
Plus I don’t see why the minority Mac users should always come out on top, at least not until someone has sent me one.
I’ll go away now whilst you fight amongst yourselves. ;)

Can do, I don’t mind. I’m used to Windows (for my sins) so the plus-minus thing didn’t even register as a problem. But thinking about it in a new light, perhaps the twisty arrow is more Internationally recognised than merely a Mac-vs-Win thing? If that’s the case I’d prefer the arrows if someone can do them justice in the graphics department instead of using my one-minute fiddling in Photoshop.
OT: if anyone does find a spare MacBook Pro lying around I’ll be a welcome donor :-) I’ve seen it running OSX with a bunch of terminals in one switchable window thing (don’t know the Mac term for it), Firefox in another, Final Cut in another, and some video conversion software inside Windoze 7 in another virtual window. Totally seamless workflow and it appeared to run Win7 smoother than on a PC. But maybe my perception was altered by my jaw dropping to the floor.
It did get bastard hot though (the Mac, not my jaw).

Well I think your images are fine. I’m not sure you can do much more than build them up a pixel at a time. They stay fairly sharp for 2 or 3 enlargement steps after which you start to see the jagged edges but you will get that anyway methinks.

What’s the reason why the arrow graphics from Remora won’t fit as-is?

The graphic is too ‘short’ — not enough whitespace between the expanded and collapsed states so if you have multi-line items you see both states simultaneously.
