Not sure if this have been asked for by anyone else…  
When creating an advanced flow it would be great to in an easy way see what type of cards I have used. I have by misstake created a flow with wrong type of card (used a and card instead of a then card) and it was a pain to find the faulty card.  
If the cards for example had a colored outline around the card (based on what type of card it is) it would have been very easy to spot the misstake.

Agreed, it could be clearer!

But the differences are visible:  
When card:  
has one connector on the right; the left hand side shape is a bit rounded  
Then card:  
has a connector on both sides, and on the underside (middle), the error output  
And card:  
has one connector on the left and two connectors on the right

This is imho not possible, because we cannot connect the ‘input’ on the left hand side. There is just no connector.  
And, you can’t turn on a device with a When card.

Yes, my bad, it was a and card instead of a when card.

Regarding the differences I visibility…  
I see what you mean. But that requires that I hover over the card to see the outputs.  
Sure, I can see if the output is connected in the middle or top/bottom.  
Still think it would be a good idea to make it more visible.
