Looks interesting, but wouldn't like to rely on their whole shebang just for a couple of icons. The current ones are basic html entities that look good (or equally bad, depending on your opinion) in all browsers and (importantly) are stable for vertical positioning as font size is changed in the browser.
I like them in the linktree. The ones down in the first level drop menu could do with a bit more grunt, but I left them basic for now. They're all optional anyway, since they're in pseudos controlled in the CSS.

Can the regular ">" for example, be added as a entity? I've used the quote entity(or ascii code I think its called) this way, for a BBC code relying on adding those by CSS.
I like the css triangles myself, useful as arrows and embellishments alike.

Yeah you can add those, but I tried triangles before with the old 2.1 alpha theme and they're a/ not that great in all browsers and b/ IMO not as good to look at. The basic > isn't that groovy either IMO. I ran through most of them when early testing 2.1 stuff. The current ones are the best I've found. I actually like them. I'd suggest leaving them for default, at least for the moment. Since they're pseudos, it would be easy to add a sprite background to them as part of one of the other sprites.

I got admit I agree with TE though...theres just something about those arrows that I don't associate them directly with something that has to "open" (as in the drop) or as a hierarchy symbol(as in linktree). They seem to me to be used rather as single-point things. Like, "right here the target is" sort of the thing.
I dunno. > or / always felt logical to me. Maybe not for others.

Hmm. I've always liked linktrees that have thing that point towards the next level, which from what I've seen around the web seeems to be logical to a lot of people too. Hey ho.

Yeah, no big deal in the linktree I guess. The menu seems a bit ..well, unusual at least. Maybe its because I am used to simple graphics there instead of actual signs.

Yes, it's particularly odd in the menu. It doesn't "say" it opens things to me either... dunno what it says but it ain't that.
No good ideas as to what it could be like, though.
