Kim, 

Thanks for the __EDGE_SCALING 3 11 3 3 suggestion. It eliminates the
'smeared' look and makes the theme ALMOST the same as 0.16.6 with
imlib1. I think the non-selected arrows look clipped top and bottom
while the clicked arrows look perfectly triangular. Still it is a great
improvement. 

Is there any documentation on what the 3 11 3 3 numbers actually mean?
I'm trying various variations of those numbers but haven't yet found a
pattern.

Curious,
Brad
