Peter Wicks commented on NIFI-6504:
-----------------------------------
[~alopresto] I put some thought into this. My first thought was a pretty strong
no. But then I thought, what if we added a default color at the relationship
level in the code, or we could tag relationships with an enum like
"success/failure/unmodified/default" and then put the translation into the js
code. Then, in the connection creation screen the color would show up with a
checkbox next to it, so you can go with the default defined for that
relationship type (red/green/blue). It could be unchecked by default (if
multiple relationships are selected we default to black?).
This provides two things:
- Existing connections remain black, keeping good backwards compat, and happy
users
- Users who want black don't have to do anything different than they do today.
I suppose you could go the extra mile and add a nifi property to control this
checkbox's default state.
> Add Color to Connections

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework, Core UI, Flow Versioning
> Reporter: Peter Wicks
> Assignee: Peter Wicks
> Priority: Minor
>
> With so many connections overlapping on screen, it can be hard to trace where
> different connections are going, and what they are used for.
> Adding color to connections would make this much easier. It might be good to
> add color to other components as well, such as the Funnel to help identify
> their purpose using a color cue.
