Change arrow image for sub menus

[deb75]

Hi,

I would like to change the arrow image which appears when a sub_menu is defined within one item.

It appears that radical uses menu_submenu_icon property of beautiful.

Currently the only way I found to customize the arrow image is to replace :

sub_arrow:set_image( beautiful.menu_submenu_icon   )

by

sub_arrow:set_image( "/home/edouard/.config/awesome/browser/submenu2.png"  )

in item/layout/horizontal.lua radical file.

Would there be an easier way ? How could I add this property to the item ? (like the icon one)

Regards

Answeering to my own post, I suggest this modification :

which lets the user customize the image for the sub arrow of sub menus.
