Let me address your points backwards.

Dashboard fixes are not part of the main release, they are released separately - like other nodes. They are a collection of several nodes so an update will happen when Dave(dceejay) decides to release them.

As for fixing the ui\_text\_input node you can install the version I just patched to check it out

1. open a terminal window and stop Node-RED  
`node-red-stop`
2. change directory to the .node-red folder  
`cd $HOME/.node-red`
3. enter this command  
`npm install juggledad/node-red-dashboard`  
this could take a few minutes depending on the Pi
4. restart Node-RED and test it out.

My project has been to develop an alarm panel, so far I've been able to set the cards transparency, add shadow to the text, add an animated gradient background, change the weather icon based on weather conditions, and several other embellishments. One thing I haven't been able to do is to modify each ui\_button, I figured out how to change them all at once by modifying nr-dashboard-button, but it affects all the bu…

there is a lot of information on the forum,
