2. **Modify ui-template nodes** : In each Dashboard 2 configuration's ui-template node, reference the centrally hosted CSS file using a `` tag in the `` section of the template.
For example, your ui-template node template might look like this:
html
```auto
```
Replace `"http://central-location.com/main.css"` with the actual URL where your CSS file is hosted.

```
1. In your ui-template node, use `

Ah yes.. of course! Solution 2 is perfect for me.
My train of thought about this was all wrong. Simple is best.
Thank you!
