Hi.
I made a patch to make the triangle icon on the UI panels optional.
The option is displayed in User_Preferences, Interface.
This doesnt affect the UI nodes triangle, just the panels of the UI.
Panels can be opened by pressing the whole header, so the triangle is not required visually.
So this is a patch to make the draw code optional.
Patch was made after reading this topic:

Hi.
I made a new patch.
This adds the show_triangle property to:
bTheme->ThemeUI->panel_show_triangle.
User_Preferences->Themes->User_Interface->Panel:->Show_Triangle.
I added a short doc of changes + screenshot.

The patch was tested on 2.67b r58051 with patch.exe for windows.
When the patch is implemented, the theme.xml files will have to be updated.
When the patch is implemented, the init_userdef_do_versions(void) code in resources.c.
The version number should be 1 sub version higher than the implemented version, i think.

To apply: "patch.exe -p 0 -i pp_tri.txt"

This adds 'Show Triangle' and 'Align Header Label' to:
User_Preferences: Theme: User_Interface: Panel.
These kinds of minor changes we can make any time, but its not really improving usability.
closing.
