Well - I'm all up for that view too :-) Tim wanted to remove it at the time, but I restrained him to avoid problems. > But I kind of see > what you're getting at here... maybe it would be a good idea to turn > on a different set of handles once LibO uses a screen past a certain > ppi setting (say, 150 ppi) or has detected a high-contrast theme. Yep - removing the setting from the UI, and just auto-detecting it might be a quick, partial solution. > Then, there is a practical "problem": we already use the 13*13 handles > in some situations [1], therefore we'd need (new) 15*15 handles.

I don't think that is it really; I like the more visible, larger 9x9 glue-points personally, and those images should be centred based on their size, so I'm not sure that that is it. > [1] e.g. Open Impress/Draw.

Sure :-) of course, as long as the thing animates life is fine - we could feasibly use a smaller size as the notification for larger handles though ... [ actually that is quite easy, from your patch I think this is done via the 2nd call to 'GetNextBigger' in GetOverlayObject - which we could specialise to 'GetSelected' do some magic for large ones, and fall-back to GetNextBigger for other cases.
