I wish you could save a node shape and color as a preset. I don't want to save as a default just as a preset. This would be helpful as I could then quickly change null OUT nodes to an easily identifiable shape and color. I don't only use nulls at out nodes so a permanent default doesn't really help. thoughts?

Create a new shelf tool. In the script create a null sop and set its shape and color. Use this new tool in place of the Null tool where you want to indicate and 'out'. Don't forget to set the context flags to SOP.
