Re: FLTK 1.4 Menu Bar Style Daniel Harding 20:12 May 07  
 
And in case a little more context is helpful, the screenshots in my previous message were from my own application and on Linux/X11.

Here is a screenshot on Windows 11 with the default test/menubar program:

The smaller arrow size looks great, and it has the 5/2 margin just like X11 that I think would look better as 4/3.

  Sorry, I missed to push my commits while doing the last tests. The new commit is now 60690dba51a50c5ae3aef035b3b824f3646f2e3d but you can pull the latest from master.

The slightly reduced arrow size is great now. Thank you for making that tweak. I think it's a real improvement.

This is what a submenu arrow looked like in 1.3:

There is a margin of 5 pixels above the arrow and 4 pixels below the arrow.

And this is what the submenu arrow looks like now in 1.4 after your tweak:
fltk1.4-arrow.png

I think the size is good. There is a margin of 5 pixels above and 2 pixels below.

This is how it would look moved just 1 pixel up so that there is a margin of 4 pixels above and 3 pixels below:

I think it looks really nice well-centered in its row, which is also more similar to 1.3.

I'm curious if you agree and if that is a simple enough change to make (without too many far-reaching consequences).

Thanks again.
