UI: Unhooked connections in a different colour (especially required ones)

thrikr33n 11 years ago updated by Freya Holmér (Developer) 11 years ago 0

Not a high priority, but a would be a nice thing. Mostly just to make it easier to notice, especially for connections that are still required (i.e. a Multiply node is missing something for the B connection, have the box for it highlight in red).

It's lacking any error handling whatsoever at the moment, and this is one of the things that is needed! The one issue with coloring the connection red is that it's now sort of dedicated to indicate output channel. I guess another minor issue is that if you indicate things are missing as soon as you create the node, it feels a bit, odd, that it basically tells you you did something wrong just by creating a node that is inevitably missing inputs.


I think I'll go with an error icon next to the inputs, that appear after you've started connecting it :)
