[Bug 882852] Re: Toolbar buttons should have active and highlight visuals that include the arrows

 

Applying the current active color to the arrow is already reported as
bug 828316.

I'm not sure what problem you think a hover color would solve. Can you
be more specific?

I had always assumed the Thunderbird separator presentation was an
Ubuntu theme bug. The button has one part or two parts depending on
which part of it the pointer is over, which makes no sense. For example,
if the first time you clicked it you happened to confine yourself to the
right side, the next time you may think clicking at the left will open
the same menu, but it doesn't.

For the same reason, I think it would be actively bad "if the separator
between the main part of the button and the arrow appeared only on
hover".

Title:
  Toolbar buttons should have active and highlight visuals that include
  the arrows

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The arrows for the "All software" and "Installed" buttons do not
  visually feel like part of the buttons, specially when one of the
  buttons is active.

  The current active color should be applied to the arrow too, and there
  should be a hover color that does the same.

  Also, it would be better if the separator between the main part of the
  button and the arrow appeared only on hover.

  I'm attaching a video that shows how Thunderbird does it.
