Just wanted to bump this up because even though you can now magnify the dungeon schematic, the links between rooms don't get any bigger. No matter whether it's at 100 or 400, the lines that show exits between rooms are still 2 pixels by 6ish pixels, and that is way tiny.

Do you really need those larger?  You can easily tell the relationships between rooms just based on their position alone; if there were no little lines at all, it wouldn't make any difference to the ability to read the map if you know their patterns.  I could make the lines bigger if it feels like a need, but I didn't think it seemed like one.

I didn't even know the lines existed let alone endeavoured to use them as a way of judging room connections. I'd say remove them completely so that people don't try and look at them, but how many people even know they are there?

Depending on your screen resolution they are visible, and my thought was that they would help new players along slightly.  But in terms of needing to have them on a running basis that definitely seems not to be a need to me.

I am a very literal-minded person and I need to see the connections; I interpret two squares stacked on each other as two independent rooms. So yes, if you could make the connections appear larger that would be very nice indeed, please and thank you. :)
