Hi guys,

The question's in the title. Because nodered dashboard always ends up resetting its theme to blue/white when nodered restarts (sporadically, but enough to be annoying), I would like to force it on restart.

Is it possible to use a UIControl node to do this ?

Thanks !

Why/when does it reset ? It should restore to what was saved.

Usually yes, but sporadically when you change something around (most likely anything under the dashboard icon), it would reset.
