Prettier nodes
The current nodes are just placeholders.
- [ ] Create design
- [ ] Implement design
I've had the idea to use a "plugs and sockets" metaphor for connections between nodes. So each type of output has its own plug shape that you can grab and plug into a corresponding input socket.
Maybe grayscale outputs are Shaped like a >
:
- The right side of a
Separate
node has 4|>
plugs sticking out. - The left side of a
Combine
node has 4>
sockets in it, with an accentuation for the>
shape where the|>
plugs fit.
This makes it really clear what socket does what without having to only rely on colors, like many other programs do.
Sockets could also be shaped like a D
, or like a square, etc.
Colors could go along with each socket for even better differentiation.
