I’m wondering what people here would think about Home Assistant’s stock UI getting a bit of a facelift? I know you can customize to your hearts content, but I’ve always found stock Home Assistant to be a little hard on the eyes. Its not bad in my mind, just feels a bit dated and static.
Anyhow, wondered if anyone here has thought the same. I’d welcome a face lift.
They have been working on the dashboards a fair amount recently but if you’re expecting a brand new look, that isn’t likely to happen. They recently hired the guy behind “bubble cards”, who has then put a lot of work into the stock UI’s tile card. It’s pretty obvious this is the direction they intend to continue.
However it’s very extendable with themes and there is even some project that uses some entire closed source frontend for their dashboards. I forget the name of it though, but it might be worth looking into for you.
That’s cool to hear they brought someone on who made popular title cards. Definitely curious to hear about that. I always kind of feel a little uneasy about heavily modifying certain things due to breakages. In the vein of something like Gnome desktop, using a bunch of extension messes with things in the longterm.
Albeit, Home Assistant may be more resilient to aesthetic changes.
