You don’t need a function node to do this.

Now what does the info tab of a ui\_button say it returns?  
What does yours return?

May I ask a question sort of related Q here? How do I control the text color and background color of the 2 buttons in my pop up (EG: OK or CANCEL) in the notification node. They always seem to be very odd and hard to read.

A custom colored theme but yes, dark for sure.

Ok, one more Q. When I try to save my theme by clicking on "Save to library" under Custom Profile, nothing obvious (on screen) happens, but I'm assuming it saved the theme somewhere. (Shouldn't it allow me to select a location?). Where is the default location for theme file(s)?  
Thanks

Pushed a fix to dashboard master branch (not yet on npm) - can be trialled by manually installing `cd ~/.node-red && npm i node-red/node-red-dashboard`

Themes are held in your user directory ( usually ~/.node-red/lib/themes )

I did what you suggest, restarted NR but see no change. Also, you might wish to check the savings of themes. For me, the save worked once but when I created a second theme with a diff name the file is not being saved, at least not in the default directory (was trying to save "Vivid\_B&W").

Once restarted you have to flush your browser cache.
