The problem with this is it will become ambiguous which line you're trying to select.. connections often will be very close together. > Change the cable and the port colors when they are in focus, to > indicate that something can be done to them. > > Probably three distances are needed: > -Port picking distance Having some fuzziness to the port picking is a good idea.. I'll do that. Of course, it's going to be way way more of a pain to implement than just clicking on the port, but oh well. I'll have the port hilite when the mouse is within it's clicking region. Actually.. better idea. Right now you have to actually click on the little port box to connect things, but you should be able to click the port label to select the port.. that's the entire width of the module. Quite the braindead-ism on my part to not think of THAT before... -Dave
