Description jan d 2025-02-08 18:15:02 UTC
Description:
Current VCL dropdown uses a mix of styles.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a dialog window with dropdowns for example the "general" tab of the paragraph style.

Actual Results:
There are two types of dropdown that I am aware of, the standard dropdown and the color picker dropdown. 

The standard dropdown has
...no rounded corners
...a separate button-like shape on the left
...downward pointing chevron (this matches the native style!)

The color picker dropdown is almost Windows 11 styled, however it uses...
...a downward pointing triangle (like in the win 9x days)




Expected Results:
The dropdown should...
... have round corners (4px radius, though e.g. the windows file-save dialog uses 1px radius)
... no separate button-like shape on the right
... use a downwards pointing chevron 


Reproducible: Always

Addition to Expected results: 
* the outline should be #D0D0D0, except the bottom, where the outline should be #BABABA (like in the color picker dropdown) or use the WinUI3 style of #F0F0F0 and #D6D6D6 (at least that is what I picked from their figma file)
