de49a05: Update expander arrows to point right or down (if expanded) ... like BeOS R5. I looked in the commmit logs for this one and there wasn't really any explination for why this got changed, so, I'm changing it back to the way it was in R5 which is right arrow for unexpanded, down arrow for expanded. Please yell at me if this change was intentional.
If memory serves, I changed it and it was intentional. The item expands down and collapses up. An icon should represent the action that will happen, so I thought the symbol should point down when the action is to expand down when you click it. Same with pointing up when the action is to collapse.
That being said, I think this is not consistent throughout the system, for example Tracker and Installer have groups that are expandable and work the way you changed it now. At the same time, there are other places, most notablly Windows' tree views that also have the arrows like you changed them to be.
Not sure how to decide here, but at least now you know why I made it the way it was.
