The icon shows up to you ?
I mean the icon on the left area, not in the menu... is that one that appears to you ?

About the width of the line, you're right.
I put the pressure on by default but it was barely noticeable with the default MEDIUM thickness, so I put that to the biggest value.
I think I will leave the default settings as usual and try to put a button easily reachable for it.
UI improvements are a must, now.

Unchecking Xinput makes Xournal behave EXACTLY as the former release.

Pressure sensitivity is a value between 0 and 1.
When it is unchecked the default static value for it is 1 (i.e. maximum pressure according to Xournal standards).
When you check it, then the value depends on the actual pressure.
On my tests it goes around 0.3 with the "regular" pressure and goes up to 0.4-0.5 when heavily pressed (using stylus).
If I use my thumb, tho, the pressure sensitivity values change drastically.
They go from a low value of 0.5 up to 0.9!

That's why with pressure enabled, the line is thinner.

Try to enable pressure and use your thumb to draw and apply different pressures while drawing a stroke.

That's why I've enabled thickness at its maximum, but this was for testing.
