Not convinced myself that this is any better than the current option. I
find that as the symbol looks like a letter L my eyes try to read it.

Pull Request for Improvement.
Summary of Changes

This PR is a proposal to make a better visual to the trees in the list
views of isis.

If accepted i can do in the other tree views (tags, menu items, etc).

As you can see from the code difference is just one line of code that
changes.

we can add another symbol.
The main propose of this is to better understand the tree view and it's levels just by looking.

I understand the aim - I was just pointing out an issue (for me) with the
chosen symbol

What do you think about changing your three vertical dots with a dash or even an elipsis (love the muted class you are using) and then using ↳ ↳

ok! will give it another try when i have time.

I have tested this item successfully on 28ffdc3

Tested, works as described. The view has become clearer to me.
Looking forward to the setup as proposed by @brianteeman

well i think it's a matter of taste.

some examples:

BTW, htmlentities used http://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_box.asp

i prefer the last one because it's cleaner.

I agree with @andrepereiradasilva, I prefer the last example too.

Great! Thanks @andrepereiradasilva, this is a huge UX improvement!

IMHO this version is the most clear one:

lol, each one likes a different one.
I think this is going to have to be a PLT decision.

The goal is to apply this to all the items with tree structures (menus, access level, tags, categories, etc) so we can have a consistent tree structure across all views.

pinging @wilsonge for a decision.

Set to Needs Review - not sure if its PLT or UI team on this one

I prefer the last one (i.e. https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/9630530/15011868/1e7a8592-11ec-11e6-9e4e-69e91f4a7292.png) - I think the arrows Brian proposed are not rendering consistently between platforms (I can see large differences between windows and mac). So I think this is the next best solution

is that a opinion or a decision?

I think I agree with @wilsonge

Can you update the PR to use that styling so it can be tested in real life

yes, once i remember the character i used for the dash

This PR has received new commits.

ok done

Are you sure thats the correct symbol the dash looks very narrow

hum Mac right?
in Windows

ok @wilsonge, so do we have an ok on this tree view?

Yes :)

You'd better get moving then :) Merged with two good tests!
