UML fixed line width - coloured stencils

[Bram Adams <bram adams ugent be>]

Hi,

In May last year, I used Dia to draw UML diagrams for my master thesis. 
Everything went fine, except for the ugly, thick, bold lines which 
constituted my UML-drawings. I couldn't change the size as was possible 
for ordinary rectangles, so I had to cope with them.

A few months later, I converted my Mandrake 9.0-box into a Slackware 
10.0-castle. I subsequently downloaded Dia 0.94 to check if my old 
problems were still there, and found myself unfortunate in this matter. 
UML-objects still had a fixed width.

Today, I looked at Dia's mailing list and found out that the last mail 
about this subject dated from July 2004, but lacking a feasible solution 
(the #define-hack is not that user-friendly). So, my question is whether 
something has been done about it in the meantime (in CVS that is)?

Another question: are the stencils limited to black-white images, or are 
colored ones possible?

Kind regards,

Bram Adams
