📦 Nodes Overview

1. Visual Representation of the Nodes

The package includes two main bypasser nodes: Trix Bypass Nodes w Groups by ID (with group grouping and collapsible decks) and Trix Bypass Nodes by ID (streamlined linear list).

2. Collapsible Layout (Show/Hide Controls)

You can toggle showing or hiding control buttons directly on the node layout to make the visual interface simpler and cleaner.

3. Add Targets Submenu

Double-click or click Add C to open the custom submenu popup where you can easily search and pick nodes to target.

4. Configured Targets and IDs

Once targets are added, they are listed inside the picker submenu with their corresponding names and IDs.

5. Smart Connection Recovery

If a target node's ID is lost or disconnected, the node displays a smart warning indicator (⚠️). Clicking it opens a recovery modal to easily repair the connection.

🔌 Wire Management & Hidden Links (WLinks)

WLinks lets you selectively clean up wire spaghetti by hiding connections, rendering them dynamically with animations when you interact with the nodes.

1. Animated Invisible Links

Once connections are hidden via right-click 🌊 Trix Hide Links, they render with smooth glowing particle flows on hover or selection.

2. Close-up View of Glowing Wires

A close-up view showing the animated particles, custom slot indicator shapes, and slot colors.

⚙️ Global Settings

Configure your preferences globally in the ComfyUI Settings panel under the Trix Nodes tab. You can customize slot indicator shapes, neon color schemes, animation styles, display modes, FPS throttling limits, or toggle context menu right-click options.

---

⚖️ Comparison & Pros

• Clean Canvas: Replaces the standard ComfyUI spaghetti wires with responsive, on-demand visual links.
• Instant Focus: Centering nodes with the eye button is much faster than manually searching through massive workflows.
• Flexible Muting: Toggle individual nodes, single groups, or multiple groups from a single node placed anywhere.
