or just make all editing of lines, shapes, text have a consistent edit UX so all features are available in all contexts and so lower the learning curve and onboarding time & effort too :-)

Increase line thickness could be very usefull!


The lines of my mindmaps used to be much thicker, these days I can barely see them… 

So, what has changed since I used them a year ago?

Or what have I changed for them to appear so thin?

And more importantly what can I do to make them visible again?

Yes… This is very annoying. 


Very important to have this feature. I use the Swimlane-Mindmap (a new template by the way). It unuseful like it ist today. Thank.

This feature is very important, it will be easier to see the connectors with the line thickness. 


please implement this feature.

it is not possible to see the thin lines when you scale your mindmaps.

The mind maps in Miro are not as good as say, Mind Node Pro. This is entirely due to their use of very light lines.

Guys, I’ve found a workaround until (if) they fix this:

Just reduce the size of the mindmap. The lines go back to their original thickness when the main box’s font size is around 15. 

I had to reduce the size of my entire board as well, so they match sizes.

Try it and let me know if it works for you.

I am not sure how you do this @Rafa Leto can you explain again or add screenshot? thanks @Miro Community Team  this is really a bad UX design and it’s not really aligned with the needs of people with disabilities ( linked to eyesight) https://www.w3.org/WAI/people-use-web/;..

@Laurence C. you have to Zoom out by holding ctrl or cmd and scrolling down with your mouse. Then, select the mindmap with a left-click, hold the click, select the mindmap and you’ll be able to see 4 white dots surrounding the mindmap. Click on one of those, drag inwards to reduce the size of the map.

Did I help you?

@Miro Community Team please fix this? this thread has been open for 3 years, and half of the posts on this forum are addressing this issue. miro is at the top of google search for an online whiteboard, and the users expect a better user interface.


Agreed, @mirouser123 I am working on something needing this today and looking for a resolution. I found this three year old thread all the way to comments from three days ago for what should be a simple user feedback request. 


Adding my plus one for this to be fixed. Please, I really do need this feature to be added to Miro.


Also would like max thickness for shapes to be increased

Wow.. its been 3 yrs for this wish list item - To increase the connection lines, thickness ( something common sense) and is still not done!!! It weird that u can zoom out and zoom in as much and the connection lines are practically not visible at all…. What is Miro planning to do about this, the only reason I have to go to Lucid Charts :( I prefer Miro but I cannot do what I want due to no visible connection lines.

 

 


Yes, please fix this or explain to us exactly how to do it if it is already possible.

It makes it quite hard to read the charts!

Looking forward to a positive response.

David

Hi. It's been 3 years and there is no way to customize the thickness connections lines in MindMaps?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Manouska J … are there any updates on this? Its been 2 months now. This is how its been 3 yrs since the issue was first raised. Kindly, make this issue a priority. Not having proper lines to use should be a priority. Without it the entire MIRO board is pointess.

This makes mindmaps a total no-goer. 

They work if you use them as the first thing in a canvas. 

However, if you want to insert one into something with existing frames at the ‘wrong’ size for a mind map you’ll either have it much smaller than everything else or you’ll need to change the size of everything else you’ve got on your canvas. 

A great tool rendered unusable by a weird design choice that it doesn’t look like will ever be fixed.

Fully agree with @JakeOM .

The mind map feature in Miro is totally underdeveloped and not up to par with some of the other features.

For me, that was a deal breaker which finally made my decide NOT to take a paying subscription to Miro. Perhaps in the future if they bring some more meat-the-bone in terms of mind map features, I’ll reconsider.
