since I don't like the"checker" look of audio connections, I tried to customise them (taht's what you are supposed to do in max5, ain't you?)

_but changing the color, only changes the yellow into something else (leaving the checker effect). Unless one changes the "command" connection color from black to something else...

_so the only way to have plain color audio connection is to have them black ; but choosing one such connection and going to the object menu I can set it to yellow, which changes the black dots to yellow. Of course I am obliged to do it one by one.

Is there a way to have it as a startup pref?

In Objects Defaults, found in the Options menu, you can set the Default Signal Patchline color. Does that help?

no, since it only changes the yellow part of the checker - so it's still a checker (unless I change it to black, which would make it plain black.....

audio connections cosmetics?
