This gauge roughly imitates CNN's business page Fear & Greed Index

In this instance, msg.payload = 85 and msg.ui_update.suffix = "Extreme greed"
The HTML for this line is <span>85 Extreme greed</span>

If the prefix, value and suffix were seperate items
<span class="prefix"></span><span class="value">85</span><span class="suffix"> Extreme greed</span>
then they could be individually styled, eg

.nrdb-ui-gauge-value span.value {
display: none; 
}

That seems reasonable to me.
It is really easy to build and run the dashboard locally, then you could implement this and submit a PR.

Well I did try, but it failed at the npm install stage, multiple times and on two different machines.
I think it ran out of swap space, then on subsequent attempts it failed to download Cypress (whatever that is).

It's a package for e2e tests (end to end tests) it isn't required for building or running dashboard.

5

Are you sure that was the dashboard rather than node red itself? Or were you trying to build it on a pi?

6

It doesn't say to install express on the page I linked, does it?

7

Yes on a pi Zero 2.

I don't think so, no.

8

Test it on your PC rather than a pi zero. It does build ok on a pi 4.

9

I don't have Node-red on a PC.

10

I meant Cypress of course.

There is a hole in my bucket?
