Group Switch Pixaroma
A dashboard for muting and bypassing whole groups
Group Switch Pixaroma is a control panel of on/off switches, one per group, that mutes or bypasses every node inside that group with a single click. Where Mute Switch routes individual scenes by wiring, this one needs no wiring at all - it reads your groups straight off the canvas and gives you a tidy dashboard for flipping them.
The node lists your Pixaroma Groups and regular ComfyUI groups, each with its color dot, name, and a number if two share a name. (A Pixaroma Group is the suite's upgraded group: select some nodes and press G, or right-click → Add Pixaroma Group, and you get a colored header with one-click run/mute/bypass/fold buttons.) Click a row here and the group's own header button - and any other copies of this node - stay in sync, because they all read and set the same live group state.
What the gear panel gives you
The small gear (or right-click) opens a floating panel with the actual controls:
- Mute or Bypass. Mute means the group's nodes don't run; Bypass means they execute but pass their input through unchanged. Same distinction as Mute Switch, same "use Bypass when something downstream still needs a value" rule.
- Which groups it controls - all of them, or a hand-picked set you can search and sort, with a locate button to jump to a group on the canvas.
- The switching rule - any number on, only one on at a time (radio-button style), or always keep one on.
You can drop several Group Switch nodes for different jobs - one that mutes, one that bypasses - and they all stay in sync with each other and with the group headers. It's effectively the "no extra extension needed" way to get the group-mute behavior that other custom-node packs charge a separate install for.
Installing it
It's in the ComfyUI-Pixaroma pack - ComfyUI Manager search Pixaroma, Install, restart, or:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/pixaroma/ComfyUI-Pixaroma
No dependencies.
Gotchas
The one thing that surprises people: regular groups get the plain treatment since the pack moved to Pixaroma Groups as its own thing - if you want the styled header with run/mute/bypass buttons, you need to convert (right-click a standard group → Convert to Pixaroma Group) or create one fresh. Regular ComfyUI groups still show up in the switch list, so you're not locked out either way. And as ever with this pack: after an update, hard-refresh your browser tab (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) before chasing anything that looks broken - nine times out of ten it's cached JS.
