12 years ago Nice idea regarding node colors! And no, you didn't miss anything.
Regarding the auto-rearranging I think you have to look into this method: https://github.com/neo4j/neoclipse/blob/master/org.neo4j.neoclipse/src/main/java/org/neo4j/neoclipse/graphdb/GraphDbUtil.java#L121
I didn't find a way to assign a color to specific nodes. (only those assigned somehow by realationships). I'd have guessed a specific property (e.g. color, or more felexibly any property, of which the value is considered a category and the same category gets the same color automatically) which is interpreted similar like the labels, but for the coloring, but didn't find anything alike. Did I miss something?
Also, is there a way to switch off auto-rearranging every time I add a new node? it usually takes some time to arrange the nodes the way I want to keep a good overview, but whenever I add a node, the whole thing is shuffled according to the layout algorithm.
