I don’t love the small graphic depiction of the glidelsope next to the HSI. Are there any options for a different graphical representation in the skyview HDX? Referring primarily to a glideslope put out by an IFR gps navigator like the avidyne 540.

No there are not, or not that I have seen anywhere. Even the six pack is the same.

But to be fair (and blunt) why are you unhappy with the HSI and the GS. I think it is better depicted than in most if not all air liners.

And example

I like the HSI. I think I probably just need to practice my scan some more. The GS is small and easy to ignore and requires a dedicated scan action to attend to. Just used to the CDI with both large needles. It kind of linked lateral and vertical adjustments intuitively. The HDX HSI and GS representation really divide the control action. Its a minor difference but I am noticing it. Like I said I probably just need to get used to it and improve my scan with this new to me system. But I was also checking to see if a larger needle like option exists.

Yeah.......we are funny creatures, and it is so long ago since I saw the old needles, I almost forget what they do :)

You will be fine after a few approaches.
