Hi there, been awhile since my last visit. started testing the new 20.5 version of node red yesterday, and discovered a different behavior on lots of tthings, but the one regarding color settings on md-switch got me pussled. ![6on](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/4/41112d2f5c95c995fc94fa6145c90bb240a4603f.png) ![6off](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/4/4a756834bf89134241e52e2ff07bf172570b472d.png) ![5on](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/7/741a0e4653741f563f95f3195e447e67837d29d7.png) ![5off](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/e/e43b4c5be5fa7572e9147e004745e45f1d55aff5.png) ![css](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/0/007ea3f8b1cf22a72262623a0a11f2c90714a957.png) ![td](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/c/cb04a4d90823be006bab7da2df634a34c4f46a6f.png) in version 19.6 the switch changes color as predicted, but in 20.5 it ignores the md-checked variable. anyone have a clue to why? ---

can you paste the actual template code ? (between 2 lots of 3 backticks ``` ) so we can import it and test. Thanks ---

That example works fine for me. Switches between red (off) and blue (on). Using Vivaldi (Chromium based) latest build. ```auto 13 May 16:36:39 - [info] Node-RED version: v0.20.5 13 May 16:36:39 - [info] Node.js version: v10.15.3 13 May 16:36:39 - [info] Windows_NT 10.0.17763 x64 LE ``` ---

(On is supposed to be green )... and can be if you get the CSS selector correct ```auto [{"id":"ddd9826.5cf208","type":"ui_template","z":"68636f36.4163c","group":"831103fa.b7f0a","name":"","order":18,"width":"0","height":"0","format":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
