Theme Activity Toolbar overflow icon to be touch friendly

[garycmartin]

Theme Activity Toolbar overflow icon to be touch friendly. Currently the icon is much thinner than out current toolbar icons, it should be the same width as our standard toolbar icon style so as to be an easier target for touch screen use case.

Candidate patch

If we get to re-theme the icon used, at some point, attached is a mockup and an svg icon proposal. The 'chevron' look >> seems fairly standard as an icon for menu, tab bar, overflows, and makes a good distinctive looking icon.

Testing this patch does improve the touch target size of the overflow widget so it would be good go get in, though it's worth noting that; 1) it appears to be not quite as wide as a standard toolbar button (hit area is not a square, but a rectangle taller than it is wide); 2) that this does not affect gtk2 activity toolbars, only gtk3 ports; 3) obviously that a wider overflow button means that in some cases an extra toolbar widget might be overflowed into the overflow palette.

Thanks Gary,

I did the overflow button more square and pushed it as f48950c2 . The proposed icon looks nice and fits well in Sugar. Can be done setting the background-image in the CSS. I have added a new ticket for next milestone: #4257

The overflow icon is accessible via touch, although not via a square surface, although I wish the touch area was a bit larger.
