Maybe to my detriment, but I have BOTH installed on a machine.
Alas the GUI nodes have the same names.
So I have a 50/50 chance of picking the one I want.
It would be nicer if the names could be altered.
## THOUGH
I guess the _horse has kinda bolted_ at this point.

Not quite. The old ones are ui\_... and the new ones are ui-...

I need to get some glasses.
Thanks.
(Dumb question.)
Which is which? 😉

Old == D1, new == D2

Ok, my bad there...
Better asked:
From the GUI / Edit screen....
This is what I am seeing.
But I am still not sure which is which.

The dashboard nodes with underscore are the old ones, D1 (eg ui\_text), the ones with dashes are D2 (eg ui-text).

Again, thanks.
`-` OLD
`=` NEW
Got it.
Sorry.
As said: eyes not as good as I'd like.
And looking: You did say that. More reasons my eyes need testing.

Yeah....
Something is really happening with my parsing.
\_ and - look very similar and somehow _Mr =_ snuck into the equation.
I think because he is next to Mr - and \_ and I got the finger commands wrong.
