How to know that a button is to be a drop-down menu now ?

2017 :        2025 :

How can the users get the information now ? It is a real issue. And I am without solution and absolutely no intention to paint a black triangle on a button that is not designed for that.....

 

Can you see it ? On button n°8 ?

Nobody complaining about that issue in the customization forum. Where I don't usualy come....

I'd like to know if it is annoying for a lot of people.

Because my users can't understand anymore that it is an organized toolbar....

You can make your own Icons just need a BMP with 32x32 pixels, I use Paint.net to make them, and save in a location in the designated "Icon paths", see Options Files.

that looks like a custom toolbar.

toolbars that come with autocad still has the small black triangle.

for example here's the Draworder toolbar:

Yes, it is a custom bar.

To me, it is a bug.

What you think ? Make a try. You won't get the black triangle and it is a pitty !

The arrow is probably still there, but its color has changed (logically to white because the background is now very dark), so it's not visible on your white background. The arrow has always covered the right corner of the icon. In my opinion, there is no other way except to accept that things have developed somehow, and make the icon background transparent.

from 2025

 

or with the light color scheme

You know watifink ?

This CUIX moved from my 2017 to the 2025 with no other manipulation than a click and a "Browse..." to add it as a company menu in the options first tab as you imagine.

 

My surprise was 100% to loose the triangle.

 

But, I can rebuild this from the top in 2025, I thought about it. If it works, it is a pitty that rebuilding is necessary but I will inform you if it is the case...or not.

I 'm in a hurry for the next days before holidays and it is not fundamental to those you know the toolbar (but not to the newbies in the office).

[EDIT : solution one step before.]
