Sure, thanks for the feedback, but credit is not mine :)

I shared a general design tone the team mentioned on a few occasions and
respect it. Community managed to skew it a little with NiFi 1.1.0, for
example, not how 'Change Color' now has a more pronounced effect on the
processor than before. Also, the addition of the backpressure gauges and
throttling indicators to connections. So yes, they are listening, and
feedback is always welcome.
