An error occurred while saving the comment A week ago I posted https://forums.thebrain.com/post/relative-size-of-txt-in-expanded-view-not-consistent-and-readable-13892341 that is related to this voting topic. In short I want to see the txt-size of Thoughts/Labels/Child-thoughts and Parent thoughts adjustable in the settings of the plex.
Now that we can dedicate a whole 4K-screen to the plex (with the newly implemented multiple screen compatibility) the need to have these customizable sized thoughts independently from each other is more than ever needed.
I would even suggest to put in the option to see one (or even more) level(s) up and down the hierarchy of thoughts since the plex now allows us to see enough detail on a separate screen with enough resolution. Of course if you don't need more levels (because you don't have that much resolution/screens available) just switch it down/off. So if you see the benefits of more levels and adjustable thought sizes (which fits in the context of do more with the thought appearances, VOTE for it!
Regards, Jean-MarcAn error occurred while saving the comment #Harlan, Thanks for pointing to the historical context that I wasn't aware of. I totally understand your observation, but if the background was a problem why not just keep the text colours (or put an option in the settings that lets you choose what to keep in the note area)? To me this feels like you threw away the baby with the bathwater.
The same goes with the possibility to use different fonts and sizes... not everybody will need/like this... just put in a setting on/off.
I totally understand that not everybody that uses TheBrain is a mindmap fanatic, but "qui peut le plus peut le moins" (He who can do the most can do the least) as Aristoteles once said.Regards, Jean-Marc

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Brandon,
I just added a feature topic as you suggested, because I think your right, it deserves a separate topic to vote for.
https://thebrain.uservoice.com/forums/4597-thebrain-feature-suggestions/suggestions/51328252-make-it-possible-to-switch-the-endpoints-of-linksAn error occurred while saving the comment Hi, an additional thought about links that occurred to me:
Wouldn't it be good if we would have the possibility to alter/change the start- and end-thought of a certain link? Imagine, after setting the colour and the thickness and the type of a link between two thoughts you realize that the end thought should be different... the only solution is to unlink and start all over again losing all property information of the existing link in the process. If the properties-window of the link had a reference to both endpoint-thoughts and it would be possible to change those into another endpoint-thought, then we wouldn't be losing the existing link properties when changing an endpoint... simple so it seems...
Of course pasting link-properties would be a good and fast solution also, similar to paste thought-coulours for example.An error occurred while saving the comment After several months of working with the brain I have the impression that there is more focus on what you can do with the thoughts than what you can do with the links between the thoughts...
You can order thoughts, you can't order links
You can select different thoughts with Ctrl Select or rectangle select, you can't select the links that way
You can paste the (copied) colour of a certain thought onto a selection of thoughts, you can't do that with the links
The general "shaping" of TB (thoughts and links) would benefit from a "match properties" functionality that you find in most programs
Putting the same focus on the links- as there was already put on the thoughts-functionality would for sure benefiting the functionality of TB in general a lot!
Support for these points from other users would be welcome in order to put these higher on the development-agenda of TB!
Kind regards,
Jean-Marc -

Now that TheBrain 15 became multi-screen compatible this feature would boost the overall insight and productivity of our brains tremendously!
