Hi,

Is it possible to modify debug node status shape and color using msg.status property or any other method?

If not, will it be a good feature to be implemented for visual debugging?

Best Regards

Not currently. Only the status msg can be changed.

Not sure what the configuration UI would look like for other parameters to be honest - so that would probably be the place to start the discussion to see whether people thought it worth the added complexity.
