not working on Venus.OS

[ronnies007]

Describe the problem

When u run Node-Red from within Venus.OS on a Raspberry Pi, the way described here wont work.
the installing part worked but I couldnt activate the dark-theme.
this took me days to find out, here is howto.

open this file with:
nano /usr/lib/node_modules/@victronenergy/node-red-contrib-victron/settings-default.js

change it so that the bottom lines look like this:
// Customising the editor
editorTheme: {
page: {
css: "/data/home/root/node_modules/@node-red-contrib-themes/theme-collection/themes/dark/dark.min.css"
},
//theme: "dark"
theme: {
dark: true
}
projects: {
// To enable the Projects feature, set this value to true
enabled: true
},
// disable the palettemanager feature
palette: {
editable: false
}
},
}

I tried some other themes but dark-theme is the only one working so far.
Node-Red just wouldnt start with any other themes I tried.

maybe this is of some help to other raspberry pi users, who get ache from the bright white default-background,
and ran into the same trouble.

I don't know Venus OS and can't help you with it, but your Node-RED version seems outdated. The latest Node-RED version is 4.0.2. You should upgrade.

If you really want to use Node-RED version 3.1.10, you must install the latest version of the theme collection that is compatible with that Node-RED version.

npm install @node-red-contrib-themes/theme-collection@v3.1

And, if you carefully read the documentation, you will notice that your settings are incorrect.
