Removing arrows in gnome panel

If you are irritated with those stupid arrows on gnome shell 3.10 panel, you can easily remove them:

edit

/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js

comment out those lines:

// this._arrow = PopupMenu.unicodeArrow(St.Side.BOTTOM);
// this._hbox.add_actor(this._arrow);
// this._indicators.add_child(PopupMenu.unicodeArrow(St.Side.BOTTOM));

Re: Removing arrows in gnome panel

I've written an extension a while back that does exactly that. For now it is just a git repo, but I might consider adding it to gnome extensions:

Re: Removing arrows in gnome panel

Can be removed with CSS as well in the gnome-shell.css theme file you're using:

Gnome 3.10.

#panel .unicode-arrow { 
	font-size: 0;
	width: 0;
}

Gnome 3.12.

#panel .panel-button .popup-menu-arrow {
	width: 0;
}
