Description

In graph mode, the back jump edges are represented by a ticker line. However, the thickness is not easy to differentiate and it depends on the monitor and zoom level.

It would be useful to add an advanced option to specify another style for lines representing back jumps e.g. different color, thickness, or dashes

Research direction

Start by locating the graph-mode rendering for back-jump edges and the existing advanced line-style settings. Confirm how ticker lines are represented, then define completion as allowing their color, thickness, or dash style to be configured separately from other lines.
