Anyone ever seen how Unreal Engine handles their comments?

Can group nodes inside a comment, and color coordinate them. I've always thought this would be an amazing addition to Node-Red's "Comment" node. The ability to drag a box around the nodes your comment applies to, and color coordinate it...

Just a thought. _shrug_

Grouping of nodes, setting their colour and adding a comment already exists.

Woah... I knew you could group and outline them... how are you changing the colors?

Double click the group and it pops up. You can set transparency too.  
Doh!
