I had a look at what was proposed above, it is probably the right way to do it. So I did it the wrong way ;-) To Neils eternal shame :-), the size of the dot is manifest constants in the code, the patch changes it to the symbol SCI_VISIBLE_WHITESPACE_SIZE with a default of one. To change it "make CXXFLAGS=-DSCI_VISIBLE_WHITESPACE_SIZE=2" or whatever size or configure it or however waf does these things. Patch is against scintilla in Geany.
