</div>personally I think it looks nice to not highlight the whole width - but I<br>
still find myself subconsciously trying to click on the highlighted part, not<br>
just anywhere. kinda like how my mum still double-clicks files half the time,<br>
even though she told me to keep her kde set to single-click.<br>
<br>
something I just thought of off the top of my head - would it look nice if<br>
there were a line connecting the highlighted part to the arrow? they're<br>
already the same colour, at least in my build...<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>We can possibly do a bigger and more complex svg arrow, but I think<br>that stretching the rect to cover the full space at the right of the icon<br>would be a better compromise.<br><br>What do you think of this possibility?<br>
So it won't get over the icon, but still have the same size for any element.<br><br>-Riccardo<br>-- <br>GPG key:<br>3D0F6376<br>When encrypting, please encrypt also for this subkey:<br>9EBD7FE1<br>-----<br>Pace Peace Paix Paz Frieden Pax Pokój Friður Fred Béke 和平<br>
