Typedef constant icon size

For starters, I'm using LV2010.

 

I have a typedef that I gave an icon, for block diagram constants.  This works great, until you want to make a smaller sized typedef.  If you make a VI icon half sized, your block diagram icon is half size, but if you do the same with a typedef, you still have the huge pink border at full size.

 

Is this just me, or is this standard?  Should it be changed?

Hello Britoa

 

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention.  Do you think you would be able to post a screen capture of the behaviour you are observing?  That would be very helpful to me in order to better assist you.  Thank you for your effort and patience.

Sincerely,

Greg S.

Here's a VI with the problem shown.  If you look into the Block Diagram, the typedef constant is still the huge (relatively) icon.

I believe this is expected behavior.  The icon view of type def clusters or controls/ indicators has some additional information other than the type def icon.  the outer boarder width and spacing tells me at a glance data direction (control, constant, or indicator) the color gives me some info on data type and the glyph on the lower side expands that data representation.   It would be hard to rescale this information for any size icon

 

Although to be honest, I think the cluster glyph should remain consistant on all icons and I don't understand the Error cluster icon view size.Ghost.png

Right, but I would hope it may shrink a little, similar to how you can make a VIs block diagram icon smaller.
