> (However please drop the childish passive aggressive act, it's vile and > antagonistic, and has no place in our discussion venues.) I'm not sure what you refer to, since there was nothing of what you describe in my message: I described what my impressions with the new kicker. Also, considering nowadays most of the design decision pass through a VDG, I asked whether there was a decision of it about this "look" behaviour. That's it. Back to the actual issue: I'm not sure why the VDG should chime in this situation, as from what I see the situation is pretty simple: every menu I see - starting from application menus in different toolkits and different OSes - usually show arrows in any case for submenus, including previous versions of the menus (and I see kickoff in plasma 5.4 has the same issue...). Hence, as a matter of coherency, a menu should just display arrows, not just on hover. - Pino ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
