Remove the arrow from folders

#1

It seems to denote between a file and a folder there are different images. To denote between an open and a closed folder there are different images. It seems the arrow to the left of a folder is redundant information. You can already tell if the the item is a folder and if it is opened or closed. I think it should be removed to give more space on the sidebar.

This is something controlled by the Theme you’re using. Your theme might have a setting to hide it, check the README for it. Otherwise you can try adding something like

    {
        "class": "disclosure_button_control",
        "settings": ["hide_folder_arrows"],
        "layer0.opacity": 0
    },

to the .sublime-theme file for your theme, then adding "hide_folder_arrows": true to your User Settings file. You might have the adjust the "content_margin" in the theme, too.
