Hello,

I have a question about the use of the dashboard template node.  
I have a template that contains some code to set a switch, (I can not use the dashboard switch node for this because of some custom stuff)  
here is the code that is in the template:

```
<div layout="row" layout-align="space-between center">
    <p>test switch</p>
    <md-switch aria-label="test" ></md-switch>
</div>

```

When I set the size of the node to auto, it looks like this (used two template nodes here with the exact same code for clearity):

Which is a bit on the high side 🙂.  
However, when I set the size of the node to 6x1 it looks like this:

Got two bonus scroll bars on the right side.

This seems to be caused by the `overflow-y: auto` setting of the nr-dashboard-template CSS class. Removing that setting (using Chrome's developer mode) turns it into this:

Which is fine.  
So, to cut a long story short.. how can I roll my own app.min.css to fix this, or is there another way ?

(running latest version of Node-red on Armbian 5.38)

why not add the css direct to your template div ?

Because that doesn’t help, the overflow-y: auto set of its parents md-card keeps adding the scrollbars.

ok - just restyle the card then… -

eg related enough to be similar - [Removing or making the ui\_text not have a background color](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/removing-or-making-the-ui-text-not-have-a-background-color/1212)

Worked like a charm!
