Hi everyone PlantUML Community,

Is it possible to modify arrow's thickness by adding simple line in code like :

skinparam sequenceArrowThickness 15

And I have a second question, do you got a link which groups all skins shared by community.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Best regards

Would be nice to see this implemented, seems like asuper easy thing,and most lines are too narrow to see well by default...

Ok.
With last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar
You can have:

@startuml
skinparam sequenceArrowThickness 2.5
Alice -> Bob : hello
@enduml


The default thickness arrow is maybe indeed too narrow.
So we may launch a doodle to see if people would agree to change the default value from 1 (as today) to 1.5 in sequence diagram.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

A pool has been open to slightly increase arrow's thickness for Sequence Diagram http://doodle.com/poll/2m2zakx55hpnqi5w

The parameter sequenceArrowThickness is working in beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar and will be released in next official version.

How can such a thickness setting be applied to a single line only? Thanks!

Same question for me : how to change thickness for just one arrow ?

Hello all,

You can now use style for that, as:

@startuml
<style>
.mystyle {
  arrow {
    LineColor blue
    LineThickness 2
  }
}
</style>
a -> b : msg
a -> b <<mystyle>>: msg
@enduml

Enjoy,
Regards,
Th.
