Everyone, this should not be a surprise

I spent *2 weeks* working on the GUI and there was extensive tweaking back and 
forth asking for feedback for a fews weeks afterwards both on this list and on 
Github:

It's not like I / we suddenly pulled a "fast one."

Things move in steps. First was to fix a lot of the sizing issues as related to 
fonts, different platforms, and zooming. Part of porting in the extended sizing 
was that many people seemed to want it and, in the future, it would be much 
easier to allow for showing different inlet/outlet types. At least it would be 
an *option*.

A possible next step is to expose sizing and color options like this, but I 
only focused on fixes and laying the groundwork. As we can see, it doesn't;t 
seem to be possible to make *everyone* happy.

Some people might as "are the inlets being a different size than the outlets 
really unavoidable?" :)

Not yet. But it now *could* be a setting as the sizing was hardcoded before and 
now it relies on a single define. This define could now be more easily replaced 
by a variable.

Really? Would you really *not* use Pd over this? For now, you can build Pd 
yourself and change the io height:

"bloated?" Come on, it's like 1 pixel makes it look like MAX...
