Include ownership dot in asociations
UML 2.5 includes a new symbol for associations: the ownership dot (https://www.uml-diagrams.org/association.html).
It could be very interesting to include it in this wonderful tool.

Ability for customization background color
We can change the diagram background color, but not the editor's background color. So, it would be perfect to add this feature.

Diagram background-color
Please let us change diagram background color, which is now white. White is too aggressive for eyes in dark environment ... I would prefer to change to some greyish tone.

Bigger Canvas
Bigger Canvas for ER-Model and other diagram. I cannot move to the edge of the digram unless I zoom out a lot, but the edge objects become inaccessible if I use normal size(e.g. 80%).
67 votesHi,
This issue can be handled at StarUML V4 release. You can manually canvas size as described in the docs: https://docs.staruml.io/user-guide/customization#custom-diagram-canvas-size
This way is not the fundamental solution, but it can be a temporal solution.Thanks,

Add accessibility preference for background color
This has been requested many times. It was supposedly already fixed in version 3.0, according to this issue. But it is certainly not fixed in version 3.1.
For me it's an accessibility issue. Your otherwise excellent program is rendered (no pun intended) unusable, because 2/3 of the screen is a painfully glaring white.

StarUML does not allow an artifact instance to deploy to a node instance.
An error "Invalid connection (UMLDeployment)" is displayed.

Change the diagram editor background color
We can change the diagram background color, but not the editor background color. This is by far my biggest complaint with the tool and the one thing holding my team back from adopting it.
To be clear, I'm referring to the area of the tool with the grid background. The one that displays all of your diagrams.

multiple window support
Open a diagram in other window but not at the same viewer.
example: an UseCaseDiagram on the primary display and an ActivityDiagram on the secondary display, both on the same project.18 votesThis issue is resolved V3 release.

Make the sequence number of a message in a communication diagram an editable property
I don't care if you only allow simple integers for sequence numbers, I just need to be able to reorder those numbers after I've inserted new messages or removed old ones.

Add direction of association name
The direction of an association name is normally a small filled triangular arrow head pointing either left or right (◄ and ►) (◄ and ►). It makes reading an association easier.
For example, say you have classes DEVICE and SCHEDULE with an association between them labeled "applies to." If there is no arrow, it's difficult to read: does the device apply to schedule or the schedule to the device?
|DEVICE| ------ applies to ------ |SCHEDULE|
With the arrow it becomes unambiguous:
|DEVICE| ----- ◄ applies to ----- |SCHEDULE|
The above is now read as "Schedule applies to device."
The arrow…

template bindings would be nice
This may be a feature already scheduled, but I can't think of another way to instantiate a template parameter in Star UML

Interaction Overview Diagram is needed!
Interaction Overview diagram is so much similar to the Activity diagram. It lets us to see the bigger picture of the project flow and shows how several interactions work together.
It uses different interaction diagrams(Sequence, Communication, Timing) and ties them together to make a single complete picture of the interactions.
If it would be added to StarUML then I can say that StarUML has all of the necessary tools to rock n roll!

Add image to diagram
Sometimes I need to add a logo to a diagram. Other times there is a project specific image that represents something well. I want to be able to add these images into the diagram or perhaps override the icon in a stereotype.

Requirements Diagram
I think that an easy and useful new feature is include a Requirements Diagram. Currently it's not possible to document the system requirements using the StarUML software. I was using the Enterprise Architect and now I'm looking for other solutions. The possibility to link the user requirements and system requirements with the Use Case is interesting to help to control the whole process.
