Hi there,  
does anyone know where the theme library folder is stored on disk?  
I would like to include my custom dashboard theme into a docker container preselect-able.

cloud not find it using cd ... ls -l.... over and over again in several locations..

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi Nick,  
Thanks for Your help 🙂

since I Use Node-Red on a Docker Container, I just found it under the /data folder.  
I was expecting it under /.node-red/lib/themes, as you wrote

have a Good afternoon  
and thanks again 🙂

Yup - the complete answer should have been the location is `<node-red-user-directory>/lib/themes` - and for most users, `<node-red-user-directory>` is `~/.node-red`, but the docker container uses `/data`.

Yah, I'm working my self into Docker right now, and volumes was not on my list jet, but is now 🙂 That would have saved an Hour of stupid searching 🙂
