Change color of block diagram decorations

[PhilipJoeP]

Hi, I'm creating a template VI that will eventually have sub-VI blocks within it.  What i want to do is create a skeleton of the main VI and distribute it to a number of developers.  From there, they can take the VI and populate it with their corresponding sub-VI blocks that they developed.  I feel the best way to explain where the missing blocks go is to use decorations.  However, I noticed that using decorations on the block diagram is limited to bland black border boxes.  Is there any way to change the color and border format of the decorations in the block diagram?  OR are there additional decorations somewhere that i can use? In the end, I would use the colored boxes as place holders for the sub-VI blocks. Any suggestions?

Yes. Search for "change decoration color block diagram". This yields this thread, and in reply #4 there is a method described on how to do this.

EDIT: Note that I'm talking about using different kinds of decorations on the block diagram. Changing the border color is trivial as you can just use the paintbrush tool on the decoration border.

I responded to the other post.  Where is the paintbrush tool? i'm searching high and low and can't find it.  Thanks for your help.
