Is there a config somewhere where we could set the default node color and/or shapes for newly created nodes?

Found it in the new docs!
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/network/organize#bulk-changes [sidefx.com]

Also, the commands to use:
opdefaultshape [sidefx.com]
opdefaultcolor [sidefx.com]

Any changes on this after 16.5? It seems opdefaultcolor do not work anymore when setting the defaults colors in OPcustomize file.

Also can someone tell me how the new Color theme settings work in order to set my own theme? I can duplicate any of the existing themes but I cannot seem to be able to save my own personal changes.

The node color and shape themes have replaced the OPcustomize mechanism.

Once you create your own theme, just ctrl+drag from the color or shape palette onto a node to set the deafult color/shape for that node's type. The theme changes are applied and saved immediately.

Thank you… That info should be included in the help file.

And which file did those changes save in ?

Custom node color and shape themes are saved as `.nodecolors` and `.nodeshapes` files under $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR. For a theme named, say, `Personal`, the corresponding files will be `Personal_theme.nodecolors` and `Personal_theme.nodeshapes`. You can also inspect the built-in themes under $HFS/houdini.
