For those of you who (like me) find the nodes are too big by default in shake v2.4, I have found this:
add this line to your ui.h file:
gui.nodeView.defaultZoom=.79;
It will look somewhat like the old shake.
Yes, I know, it was written it in the documentation, but I had to find the number .79 by myself. That's what I want to save you.
