National Instruments will not be implementing this idea. We have no plans to change the size of the Close Reference function. Although the proposed size would line up the function with Property/Invoke Nodes, it would no longer line up with subVIs (and other potential 32x32 pixel nodes), and would be inconsistent with the size of other 'Close' functions (Release Queue, Release Notifier, VISA Close, etc.).
The size of the Close Reference VI makes it impossible to draw a proper block diagram.
It is too big! It does not match with the Property Node vi.
Therefore I would propose: --> Make the Close Reference VI smaller!

Good guess. That feature has driven me to top-down design. I actually have a template with generic refs and error passthrough, all I do is specify the ref class and build the sub VI. Even copy/paste is faster than cleaning up after Create SubVI. Plus my terminals are chosen to align nicely with PN/IN.
I would oppose generally any shipping of "this is the same node but drawn differently" regardless of which node we're talking about.
Let's say I am talking about the Add function.
I don't think that same icon different size is all that big of a deal, how about making it resizable to fit either the PN or 4224 pattern. I'd love to grab some resize handles and shrink that sucker.
