[+][SUG][PL] Redesign default splat ruler to reduce ambiguity

[WillLem]

@Simon

Just a quick question, what's the reason for the extreme ends of the ruler being 2px tall rather than 1px?

I've attached a version which Proxima and I slightly prefer. It would be good to understand why 2px is better.

Design history was: I wanted to avoid the inclusive/exclusive problem at all costs. You should never worry whether you must insert the bottom by 1 pixel into the ground or stand it onto the ground. The obvious way to kill all risk was to make the bottom two rows identical.

I've attached a version which Proxima and I slightly prefer.

I think it solves the inclusive/exclusive problem, too, yes. This still has the white triangle and the vertical black line, both 3 pixels tall. That feels enough to show that you should stand this onto the ground (instead of pushing it by 1 pixel into the ground).

Both rulers have a 1-pixel-wide middle part, which I like.

Use yours! I'll let you know if I eventually miss the wider end; I don't expect to.
