I want to echo the sentiments shared by @tyger, @cwormsl2, and @rohanvarshney. Removing `ui_color` is a massive usability downgrade, especially for complex pipelines. For my team, losing this feature directly impacts how we read DAG design patterns: * **Pattern Recognition:** Many of our DAGs strictly follow standard processing phases (e.g., *Load*, *Validate*, *Promote*). Using distinct colors for the operators in each phase makes these structural patterns instantly recognizable at a glance. * **Navigation at Scale:** When zoomed out on a DAG with 100+ tasks, relying on text labels is impossible. Color-coding provides the immediate visual mapping needed to understand or debug the pipeline's flow. Instead of removing the feature entirely over theme/accessibility concerns, please consider reintroducing it with modern guardrails—like allowing `ui_color_light` / `ui_color_dark` fields or mapping to a theme-safe palette. I would definitely love to see this feature brought back! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
