Possible to have bigger triangle marker for connector without thicker line?

Asked by Horus

I'm using (empty) triangle in/out markers together with connectors. However, even if I choose L size, I still find it too small. The only way to have a bigger marker is to make thicker line.

I don't know if this is something to do with SVG standard, but I would like to have a bigger marker size without thicker line.

You could create a custom marker and use it for the connector lines or edit the SVG file to adjust the Marker size:

So you're basically asking me (and any other user in the same situation as me) to write SVG. Oh... well... I thought the use of Inkscape was to spare us from learning SVG in the first place...

And if I had done my own marker, could I make Inkscape handle it easily?

Can you help with this problem?
