Match Property Node height to constants

Status: New

I couldn't find this explicitly mentioned here, but it seems related to:

 

Block diagram references should be 16 pixels tall (currently 19 pixels) - NI Community

Same Height of Unbundle by Name / Terminal / Local Variable - NI Community 

 

Although making changes like this could hurt legacy code, earlier implementation is preferable. Local variables are already the same size as bundles and property nodes, but constants are not. My suggestion is to increase the size of bundle/unbundle elements by one pixel and decrease the size of constants by two pixels by reducing their border thickness. Since numerics require a type indicator, a 1 px border wouldn't compromise recognition. Numeric constant type visualization - NI Community

I agree with the sentiment of this idea. I would support constants becoming 16 pixels tall, which is the same height as local variables, bundle by name, unbundle by name, and property nodes. This way 16 pixels would become a standard height for a sizeable subset of nodes/BD objects.
