issue-#32 Folds arrows display

Post by Josef Templ »

This voting is for including the changes of issue-#32 (Folds arrows display) into master.
See http://redmine.blackboxframework.org/issues/32.
For the diff see http://redmine.blackboxframework.org/pr ... d451bddeb1.

The proposed changes introduce new glyphs for the folds arrows that have the following
advantages over the ones in BB1.6:

- independence from the underlying platform
- independence from available Fonts
- support for wine and russian windows versions
- improved mnemonics by using +/- markers for collapsed and expanded state
- same brightness and contrast for collapsed and expanded state
- same basic glyphs for collapsed and expanded state
- similarity with folding code editors such as Visual Studio or NetBeans.

Due to the restriction to straight lines, 45 degree angles, and filled shapes
the new glyphs can be rendered properly without
advanced subpixel rendering techniques as used with fonts.
The glyphs scale well with the font size being used and show
rendering results that preserve symmetry to a large degree.

Gentlemen, please cast your vote
