Version: 1.87
Branch: master

The Arrows in the 'ImGui::ArrowButton' and Combo widgets look too big for me, especially when compared to the ImGui::InputInt buttons ("+", "-") . Their size is based on font height. Most other gui's i use tend to draw such arrows much smaller then the font height.
Would it be possible to have a StyleVar that allows resizing of the arrows? ImGui::ArrowButtonEx already has a scale factor, but it's not exposed yet.

Hello,
For reference could you share the font you used + font size + a screenshot of you case?

Thanks!

In case this is still relevant, here's what I see with Noto Sans size 22 (Freetype if it matters). Arguably, the arrow is quite big.

Thinking about it, it seems that the arrow height is always slightly larger than capital Latin letters (something like ImFont's ascent?), it's just that the default font is quite small and the arrows don't stand out too much.
