Arrowheads are done using the marker tag as defined in the
SVG spec. At the minute markers are a bit of a pain wrt to changing the style applied to them. The only way to do it currently is to use the xml editor to edit the <def> that defines the marker being used.
I just thought that maybe we can define markers without style and have them inherit style from the objects that reference them. It would be an easy and clean solution. Unfortunately SVG spec explicitly prohibits this:
Properties inherit into the 'marker' element from its ancestors; properties do not inherit from the element referencing the 'marker' element.
Maybe they had reasons for this, but I still think it's stupid.
