Remove arrow in sidebar button

Thanks for the report, small detail but it makes sense, will look upstream, thanks for reporting.

I've sent this upstream at : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549075 ; thanks again.

Thanks, I'm so proud lol. Finally doing some good for open source.

upstream Won't fix it the report:

"That's what we used to have before, in a normal button, and it didn't work out
well. The button is now a toggle, and the arrow is pointed in the direction of
where the sidebar would show up.
"
If they re open the bug we should re open it too, thanks.

upstream was reopened but changed to remove the arrow of the button, opening this and changing the title.

Thank you Bastien. Could there not be a differently coloured bar at the
side, which would "pop" out (on mouse click) to become the side menu ? I can
see the point about usability re: play button, but as it is currently the
arrow makes little sense.
(So I agree probably better to have no arrow at all) Only other thing I can
think of is to display an image on the button (if possible), with a "clearly
not play" kind of icon, which still resembles an arrow. My thought was a
teardrop on it's side, with the "sharp" part pointing in the appropriate
direction.

Let me know what you think, and thanks again for the response.
