Bigger variety of shapes with less shapes

    I followed proposal by Anatolica and reduced node shapes to fork, bubble, oval, rectangle, wide_hexagon, narrow_hexagon. They have got additional configuration options and can be adjusted by mindful users.

    So for your test maps you probably need to configure shapes again because shapes small_bubble, oval, hexagon, hexagon2, small_wide_hexagon are no more needed.

    Version 1.5.1_07

    By the way, is term "uniform"actually a good choice for shapes with equal heights and widths?

    Great, Dimitry! I like that latest solution very much. I'm testing it right now.
    I have no problem with the term "uniform". Another possible term could be "regular" as in "regular polygon" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    Thanks Dimitry, You have solved the issue of the attribute tooltip borders. Very Nice.

    Additional Suggestion: if you can add an option to the styles:

    to set the nodes (based on that style) to be created as HTML (Rich Text) nodes, NOT as a Plain Text Node.

    I mean this option can make this automatically in Freeplane (All Nodes With a Specific Style To Be Created Directly As Html Node without need to convert them manually or to edit their core text in dialog)

    Thanks

    Dimitry, thanks a lot for the new margin options!

    It provides even more shape variations than I could ever think of. I am still playing with the options and they are cool! (I <3 rectangles/squares:)) It is also great that now we can change the Root node colour. I hope the community likes this as much as I do.

    I think 'Uniform' is an appropriate label; there are also 'Equal sides' or Equilateral' that comes to mind. But I am not a native speaker; so it would be nice if a native English speaker could comment on this.

    I have made a small list of the bugs I have found pertaining to the latest iterations; would you prefer them in separate bug reports or as posted into the forum?

    Thanks again for all your efforts,

    Cheers,
    Aycae

    Freeplane handles node type automatically: nodes with internal formatting are saved as HTML and the rest as PLAIN. There is no way to save a node as HTML if it is not needed by its content. But all Freeplane editors are HTML editors, and each plain text node is transformed to HTML before editing internally.

      On a side note: is there any way for the user to make the plain text and the plain text editor the default? With all the Markdown goodies around, this seems tempting.

    I usually prefer having separate bug reports in order not to bother other guys.
    Thanks.
