Hi
The text in the coloured boxes I would like in BOLD as I cannot read the text in some of the darker coloured boxes.
Thank you

I was able to change the parameters directly in the development, however i am not aware where is the CSS file being fed from.

You can specify a CSS file for the editor in settings.js.
So for example on a Raspberry Pi I have /home/pi/.node-red/editor.css containing
```auto
.red-ui-palette-label {
font-weight: bold;
}
```
In settings.js, immediately below the line `editorTheme: {` add this, using the full pathname of your CSS file
```auto
page: {
css: "/home/pi/.node-red/editor.css"
},
```
Now restart Node-red.

Hi
Yes that is exaxtly what I want. Thank you
But I am totally new to Node RED and I am not sure what the CSS file is.
I am using Node Red that is attached to Victron.
Victron supply a range of equipment for the Off grid / Solar industry

Would I find the CSS file somewhere in the Victrron system?
