Hi all
day 1 of using node-red and having a blast
I was wondering if one can change the color of the comment block for better visual separators?
ie instead of just white:
change it to a green/red background?
and if so how is that done?
thx alot

No. The node colours are fixed.
A work around would be to create a subflow with nothing inside & set up it's properties. The subflow appearance can be changed in its properties. Then you can use a subflow instance as a comment node.
And slimmer again with a subflow...

Outstanding (if a litle garish 
) ! They show up in the palette, you even changed the icon.

No sub-flows harmed in the making of this. A prize for anyone who can work it out (well not really but then it is a fudge anyway!).
custom CSS?
src code hack?
My first thought, but no, the SVG isn't coded to allow the fill to be variable - I think it could be by the way, about to test that.
Of course You win the prize: 
Fudge! Fudge! You’re making fudge!?!
I suspect most of my coding is fudge!

So, maybe this is a core improvement request. Rather than using a fixed colour in the fill, better to use a CSS variable. Just tested that and it works.
