This may be too late and I hopefully get what you want right but considering your second question, it could be solved in a way that you put your widgets in separate ui\_groups and position them yourself via css.

Here is an example how to position a group (though 'position: fixed' shall be 'absolute' I guess): [How to lock the dashboards groups locations](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-lock-the-dashboards-groups-locations/7458/7)

Besides that if you load that css from a file (must be put in the folder defined by httpStatic) via an http template added to the html head like:

`<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/mystyle.css?id=2313143423423">`

by modifying the id you may even be able to force the browser to reload it whenever the css is modified dynamically. However, I haven't tried that so this is just theory.
