🌁 CR Page Layout

Comfyroll started life partly as tooling for the "Comfyroll Template Workflows" - pre-built layouts for things like social media posts and print pieces - and CR Page Layout is one of the clearest examples of that lineage. It takes a single image and frames it: an optional header bar with text, an optional footer bar with text, a background color behind the whole thing, and a border around the edge. One node, one composited page.

What it's for

If you're generating an image and it needs to become a finished piece of graphic design - a title above it, a caption below it, a clean border, a background color that isn't just the image's own edge - you'd otherwise be stacking several separate compositing nodes to build that up by hand. CR Page Layout does the whole thing in one pass: pick which combination of header/footer you want, set the text and sizing for each, and it hands you back a finished, framed image.

How it works

layout_options decides the overall shape: header only, footer only, both, or neither (in which case you're effectively just applying a border and background). The header and footer are independent bars with their own height, their own text, and their own alignment - they don't have to match each other. Everything else (font, color choices, border) is shared across the whole composition.

Inputs and outputs that matter

• layout_options - header / footer / header and footer / no header or footer.
• image_panel (IMAGE) - the image being framed.
• header_height / header_text / header_align and the matching footer_height / footer_text / footer_align - set to 0 height to effectively disable a bar even if layout_options includes it.
• font_name - one of the pack's ten bundled fonts (Roboto, Oswald, Impact, a comic font, and a few stylistic options including Arabic support).
• header_font_size (default 150) and footer_font_size (default 50) - deliberately different defaults, since a header is usually a title and a footer is usually smaller caption text.
• font_color, border_color, background_color - each picks from roughly 30 named colors, with "custom" as an option; when you pick custom on any of them, set the matching optional hex field (font_color_hex, border_color_hex, bg_color_hex) instead.
• border_thickness (default 0) - pixel width of the border around the whole composition; 0 means no visible border regardless of the color you picked.

Output is the composed image, plus the pack-standard show_help link to this node's wiki page.

How to install it

Via ComfyUI Manager: search "Comfyroll Studio." Manually:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Suzie1/ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes.git

Restart ComfyUI afterward. Fonts ship with the pack; no separate downloads needed.

Common issues & troubleshooting

Header or footer text isn't showing even though layout_options includes it. Check the corresponding height field - a header with header_height at 0 has no room to draw text into, even if header_text is filled in and layout_options is set to include it.

Colors aren't matching what you picked from the dropdown. If font_color, border_color, or background_color is set to "custom," the node uses the matching _hex field instead of the dropdown selection - and that hex field defaults to black, so a forgotten custom selection will show up as unexpected black.

No border visible despite setting a border color. border_thickness defaults to 0. The color setting alone doesn't draw anything - you need a non-zero thickness for the border to appear at all.

Text overflows or gets cut off in a bar. Header and footer bars have a fixed pixel height (header_height / footer_height) - long text at a large font size can overflow that space. Either shrink header_font_size/footer_font_size or increase the bar's height to fit.

Pack doesn't load at all. That's an install-level problem, not this node specifically. Reinstall clean - delete ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes and re-clone - rather than debugging a partial install.
