"Alt, else" boxes background colors

Question

Hi!  My diagram has got a lot of loop alt end else boxes. It's hard to read and I would like to add different colours to these boxes. How can I do this?

Comments

If there is the possibility of automatic apply of safe color/palette and pattern? For example shades of green for successful and red for errors.

Answer 1

alt #Red auth

end

Perfect, thank you! It should be noted that this works for other "group" types, including group, loop, etc. Also, you can specify the color on an else clause. e.g.

alt #green Success
    ' Success statements
else #red Failure
    ' Failure statements
end

Is it possible to only color the outline and not fill in the box itself?
