Wow, guys, make drjdpowell feel bad, why don't you?

This is the kind of code someone using icons ended up with... IUsually when someone uses icons they don't really know LabVIEW

For some reason, I seem to recall that the large terminals were introduced at the same time as NI's Lego MindStorms software. Aristos Queue is the 1%! Occupy the NI Forums! Don't buy into queues and LVOOP! Down with him and his ways! (Only kidding )

Definitely the small terminals. I remember when I first took an NI training course (running LabVIEW 2009 I think) and saw all these huge terminal icons. I had been using LabVIEW 7.1 exclusively up to that point, and didn't know what they even were at first. Like asbo, one of the first things I change when I do a fresh install. The only case that I've seen where they provide something extra is they display whether you have a chart/graph indicator or just a "plain" array or waveform indicator. Still not enough to make me use them, but it's something...

I prefer the smaller ones so much that I wrote a JKI RCF plugin to convert them.

This is one of the first default settings I change. I think icons on the block diagram are unnecessarily large and provide no additional value over the terminals. You're actually the first I've (knowingly) come across which actively prefers the icons... you're like a LabVIEW unicorn

I like the smaller terminals best! Because I can place them close without bending wires (and it makes my diagram smaller)
