The treeview now draws the sort arrows using the native GTK theme. But there are other places were the old bitmap arrows are still used:

## Menus
## Toolbars

Those should also be updated to use the native style arrows.

Reproducible: Always

This shows the FF3 and the native arrows in menus and toolbars.

Attachment: For menus

Heh, it turns out there is a -moz-appearance value for menu arrows all along. This patch will use it taking a similar code approach as GTK itself does.

I'll have to look into toolbar button arrows later.

[Teune van Steeg]

May I suggest a style size of 1ex for the menu arrows (or something like that), so that the arrows will grow when the font size grows (like with native menu arrows)?

Sounds good to me.

I've just noticed that the down-arrow in the History sidebar's View button is still non-native: should I reopen this bug, file a new bug blocking this one, or perform an elaborate dance in an effort to appease the gods of natively-drawn arrows?

Just have a look at Bug 416818 and hope Bug 416868 lands soon :)

Me again: the progressive disclosure arrows in the star dialogue are also non-native. New bug?

[Grey Nicholson (they/them)]

Filed one anyway: bug 420287
