Edson Tirelli commented on DROOLS-3330:
---------------------------------------

If it is not a problem, I would like to keep the ability to customize the node colours. This is important in DMN because contrary to BPMN, there are only 3 nodes in DMN and no custom tasks or icons. This way colours are used to differentiate sets of nodes that have a related concern. 

For instance, the following example from a Clinical Decision Support use case uses colours to make the model more readable.

> Request to combine the three current style related menus (Background details, Font settings, Dimensions) into a single menu. 
> Rationale: 
> * As the context of these items is very different from the other properties, it might be beneficial to the user to group them together thereby distinguishing them from the rest.
> * The extra menu headers required for these additional menus takes up valuable screen real estate, that could otherwise be used by higher priority properties. 
> * If the user does want to use the style settings, we're creating additional work to make them both scroll down and open the additional related menus.
