So... For aesthetic pleasure, the menu items should be invisible pre drawn, measurements taken, alignments calculated to match the left arrow to an menu item....
And of course it needs to be not sluggish.
More than 0.1 ms and you get an aggressive, violent outbreak, right?

Sorry couldn't resist. XD -
killames5703y@IntrusionCM truthfully though it doesn’t matter that much the little design details are what allow apple to charge hipsters for Linux on an intel machine with funny adapters
-
@IntrusionCM Huh? No need to calculate anything. Simple rectangle and mask the shape on the left. About as complex as rounded corners on window borders, pixel perfect and GPU accelerated.
This would be embarrassing for the Gnome desktop, let alone Apple who spend like 60% of each press conference on bragging how sophisticated their design shit is and how their laptop is now 0.134mm thinner as long as you haven't got a dust particle underneath. -
@deadlyRants afaik this is an mac menu thingy.
Maybe I'm thinking wrong, but I thought the arrow should match a specific menu entry chosen.
Afaik most menus have a rather complex alignment setup as they're boxes stacked together, so marching a specific box instead of the outer box for the menu is hard. -
@IntrusionCM I think the point is not positioning but the cut-off rectangular highlighting.
-
@deadlyRants and now everyone knows why I don't want anything to do with frontend design.
I'm not seeing it at all. *shame* -
@IntrusionCM I wish I wouldn't see those things sometimes. It can be so irritating. And fixing details like that often takes more time than all the other stuff.
-
A bit shocking to see this from Apple they care so much for the details that this is ok with them ...
-
@blindXfish I kid you not, my cousin once bit into KitKat the wrong way and I haven't spoken to her since.
It's blasphemy. -
@Floydimus i want a detailed explanation how one can eat a chocolate bar wrong.... wtf?
-
@IntrusionCM not the actual picture but she actually did this.
Wait.. I think I posted it on Reddit so might have a picture if I find it. -
@IntrusionCM also the blue bg on the highlighted item should extend to fill the arrow.
Well that's how I would do it.
I think it's one of those 90% tasks though: ten percent of the work takes 90% of the time.
And then you have to stop and ask, before doing it, is what I have already, good enough? -
@gitpush no. What you meant to say is: *one* obssessive-compulsive lunatic granted by fortune, a billion-dollar level reality distortion field and a monomaniacal understanding and vision of *exactly* what he wanted.
Truth is apple's been dead since turtlekneck sweater died, and they've just been cruising along on his momentum, riding his legacy like a sled made out of his corpse until they hit peak apple and the its all down hill from there. -
killames5703y@Wisecrack shouldn’t you be standing in a breadline with a 100 other people that look just like you begging for babies and Cock ? See NOW I’m going to harass you lol

@killames the really great thing about comments such as yours is the obviousness of the projection to the casual user.
