</div>

Just a few tiny updates and fixes this time, so small you may not notice or need them.

**Enhancements**

- Allow ui\_chart to have many more options set by control message, see config-fields.md
- Allow `ui.middleware` in settings.js to specify middleware for use with dashboard endpoint. See [PR #209](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/pull/209/) for example usage.

**Fixes**

- Ensure `msg.enabled` applies to all themes. Issue #481
- Ensure theme applies to popup dialog alerts also.
- Ensure slider only sends on mouse up when in that mode. Issue #490

If I'm correct then the [API](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/blob/master/index.js) exposes now `theme properties` and `site sizes`  
Helpful addition for custom ui-widget development

Hi,

After I upgraded it to the latest version, but I want to try some things on the older version eg 2.14.0. How to return to the older version.  
Is there a wiki to guide this? Sorry if this topic is already in the forum.

Thank you.

Yeah - fix already in master - [https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/commits/master](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/commits/master)  
Which of course I spotted 5 mins after publishing it.

Any more wrinkles anyone can see before I push 2.15.4 ?

Sorry if I'm late but  
Switch node editor exposes Icon customizing fields if default icon is selected. By filling them with data and closing editor, nothing stored. Nothing really broken also but not correct behavior from the user perspective.

If you change the Icon option to custom and then back to default, the customizing option fields will be hidden, which they should be for initial state I think.

### 2.15.5: Maintenance Release

Quite a few wrinkles mopped up - thanks to all of you for reporting them, and one extra... We are adding the compression middleware by default to try to speed up loading times... let us know if you think it makes things worse. So far it looks good - but I can't test all use cases...

**Fixes**

- Fix legend to keep items hidden when new data arrives. Issue #507
- Re-re-fix switch to not show correct icon despite passthru, and toggle output correctly. Issue #506

- Fix UI redraw (not redrawing when changing tabs). PR #508
- Fix vertical slider in only on release mode
- Let webfont loader be async to not delay page load when offline, and fail silently
- Fix Datepicker to honour Site date format

Hi,

I've updated from 2.14 to 2.15.5.  
The ui-switch seems to be broken after updating, the true input doesn't work.

![db2155](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/9/997f412c441231ac7afcce4a34afa0c23256630b.png)

Thanks! I know that but I can't set it because I get an infinity loop. (The example I uploaded is simplified).  
As I said it works with v2.14.

I think this was a change made to the way the switch works. To allow an input to switch it as well as allowing manual switching I think you have to set Pass through. You can solve the loop problem by adding an RBE node after the switch

</div>

I compared ui\_switch.js (v2.14-2.15.5)  
Only line 86 has been added:

```auto
if (!this.forwardInputMessages && this.storeFrontEndInputAsState) { return oldval; }

```

Sure there are workarounds but it would be great to keep compatibility to v2.14.
