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.

    Last versions have added many possibilities that you are talking about.

    Keep in mind that the UI needs to adapt to a dynamically resizable window, and it’s very tricky if you just “freely” put thing wherever you want.

      I haven’t been able to freely move cards, or easily expand beyond the defined column with newest version. It shouldn’t be a technical issue, it’s possible for many other applications to manage this flawlessly.

        @ExcessShiv
        I feel that you really are not happy with how those developers manage things.
        Luckily it’s open source, so you are free to create the GUI exactly how you like it to be.

          I don’t have the skills to do that, which is why I support the foundation with money in stead. But you’re right, the unnecessarily restrictive UI is one of my biggest issues with HA.
