This TIP is to allow custom sizing of menubutton indicators using -indwidth and -indheight as options.
Currently there is no way to vary the size of the indicator for a classic Unix menubutton widget. Adding the ability to control this via configuration options will give the coder more control over a GUI's appearance for when such fine control is required.
The following options are proposed to be added to the ::menubutton widget:
The -indwidth option allows the specification of the width of the indicator in any form that converts to a screen distance (will be converted to an integer number of pixels).
The -indheight option allows the specification of the height of the indicator in any form that converts to a screen distance (will be converted to an integer number of pixels).
Changes were made to:
tkMenubutton.h to change the default indicator size, and to add strings for the indicator width and indicator height,
tkMenubutton.c to add -indwidth and -indheight options, and implement them for custom sizes,
tkUnixDefault.h to add default values for the indicator width and height,
tkUnixMenubu.c to implement the changes for drawing the indicator.
A patch exists in SourceForge (Feature Request 2994285 [1]).
