Comment:

 Responding to each:

 1. The bold dark text is the "on state" for submenus. If people feel it is
 too subtle, we could explore a new submenu on state, but it should not
 have the same on state as the top level menu items, as it breaks the
 visual hierarchy.

 2. That indicator means you're in this section, not that you are on the
 landing screen. That's why the sections have a first item that is the
 landing screen, so the hierarchy is maintained.

 3. The arrow points from the navigation into the working area, the forward
 interaction flow. Pointing it backwards would reverse the meaning, and
 make it more like the new feature popup in facebook or gmail, where our
 active area would hierarchically seem to be a description instead of the
 other way around.

 Closing wontfix for the reasons above. If you want to suggest an alternate
 submenu on state, please open a new ticket specific to that one
 suggestion. (In general, each ticket should have one thing, not three, to
 make trac management easier.)
