Lately there seems to be a lot of interest in Options Tree artwork (right side panel).  Attached is a new set I just finished for dark mode skins, largely based on the Segoe Fluent Icons font.  It has a consistent minimal line art look and feel.  Highly legible as tested on my old 1920 x 1200 monitor at MC size 100%.

If interested in trying it, save off the skin's OptionsTree.png file (may be named differently, depending on the skin, or in some cases located in the ...Data/Default Art/ directory), and replace it with attached file.

Thanks, Mark!

Oooooh, this looks really good and is a good fit! Thanks!

Thanks.  Looking back to the dropdown menus at the top of MC's main window, I see they use a filled right chevron to open submenus.  That may be a more compatible, less intrusive symbol (but less cool?) than the 3-bar for the Options popup.  Also, the main window submenus open with a mouseover, while the Options popup submenus open with a LMB click (I smell an Options popup feature request here...).

In any case, I've attached a version which uses a similar filled right chevron, as well as a file with simple filled small circles for Tree Expand buttons.  The latter is called out in main.xml:
   <TREE> ... <Entry Name="ExpandButton" Bitmap="Tree_ExpandButton.png" NumberImages="3" /> ... </TREE>.

Clarification:  I expect you will find that most, if not all, skins use a 2-state button here (NumberImages="2").  Attached is a 2-state version of the file Tree_ExpandButton.png.

My 3-state version (posted above) is a hopeful leftover related to this feature request:

I think, back in the day, I was first to introduce circles to indicate tree branch expand/collapse state. They caused a bit of division, but now, they're great for really quick visual indication of what's what.

I chose them because too often, with the triangles, they were made equilateral, so it was never clear from just looking at them whether or not they were collapsed or expanded.
