Hi @mvidhya86 - there are no options available to customise the appearance of the wire.

If you wanted to make a customised version of Node-RED with straight wires, then the `generateLinkPath` function is what you'd want to change: [https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/a6ef755139613a7261372c692189f21115b2d0c6/editor/js/ui/view.js#L467](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/a6ef755139613a7261372c692189f21115b2d0c6/editor/js/ui/view.js#L467)
