Slightly misaligned icons when scrollbar is set to "off" or "right"

[epithetless]

Please forgive my nitpickiness, but as a visual artist, I felt compelled to bring this up:

I've noticed that recent changes to scrollbar behavior in SVN have created a situation such that -- when the scrollbar is set to either "off" or "right" -- all the icons below the uppermost "path" icon are positioned 1 pixel to the left of that uppermost icon, like so:

  [icon] Rockbox
 [icon]  Files
 [icon]  Database
 [icon]  Now Playing
 ...

Before r22390, all icons below the top line would be uniformly indented -- regardless of the scrollbar being set to "on" or "off" -- so that it looked like this:

  [icon] Rockbox
     [icon]  Files
     [icon]  Database
     [icon]  Now Playing
     ...

I personally think this original behavior makes more visual and conceptual sense than the current one, as it references a common visual lexicon of "nested lists".

The current behavior began with r22390 ("Add setting to position the scrollbar on the left or right"), but only manifested itself then when the scrollbar was set to "right." If it was set to "off" and "left", the lower-level icons remained slightly indented as before.

With r22425 ("Combine the settings for scrollbar on/off and its position into one with three possible values"), now both "right" and "off" exhibit the 1-pixel indentation of the topmost icon.

If the RB devs are for some reason opposed to returning to the "all lines but the first are indented" model used before (which I would prefer), what would you say to at least making the topmost icon line up with the ones below it, so it isn't the one slightly (and, IMO, awkwardly) indented?


[FWIW, only the icons display this behavior. The actual text lines up perfectly (albeit without the earlier "nested list" indentation). It appears, to my eyes, that the topmost icon is actually a pixel closer to its text than all the icons below it, and has been for some time. In other words, the topmost icon has long been 1 pixel farther to the right -- relative to the text beside it -- than the icons below, a fact which the "nested list" effect hid until now.]

I haven't tried this, but from what you describe I agree.  Perhaps bring it up on IRC?
