Inlets&outlets are 2 pixels on linux and windows. It's a Tcl/Tk rendering inconsistency that makes inlets (if I remember correctly) appear as 3-pix-high rectangles with empty centers. Extended (which was primarily developed on a Mac) took this as the 'preferred' look and altered outlets to look like inlets (unlike the original design).
Which is better is a matter of judgement - but if inlets/outlets are grown to 3 pixel, then boxes should get another 2 pix of height. I'd suggest making this a "preference", perhaps selectable in the "font size" window. cheers Miller On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 03:23:49PM +0200, Dan Wilcox wrote: > It's on the list.
