Hi @gerry,  
I will post the [link](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/dashboard-2-multi-state-switch/85168/16) here for completeness. After we had that discussion at the time being it was decided that the multistate switch should become a core node: the [ui-button-group](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/nodes/widgets/ui-button-group.html) node was born.

Last weekend I migrated my own dashboard finally to D2. And now I use that button group node as a replacement for all my old ui-multistate-switch nodes.

Instead of changing hotnipi's sample code, I would appreciate if you could try to do your changes on the ui-button-group node instead. You can find the frontend code [here](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/blob/main/ui/src/widgets/ui-button-group/UIButtonGroup.vue). That is the only way to improve our core ui nodes. And I assume Joe doesn't mind to get some help from the community...

About your multiline question: since CSS isn't my best friend, I am afraid I need to pass that question on to others reading this.

Good luck!  
Bart
