Thoughts on a Stock UI Facelift? (lemmy.world)

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.

You can always use the Home Assistant API to create your own UI experience. I create small HA touch panels using M5Stack Core2 devices this way.

This.

I dabbled too long around having it’s UI look prettier, but gave up after spending precious months. Now I can’t see a way to have it look like I want it to, and -with respect- that’s never the intention of devs to have it’s UI very customizable.

BUT having your own UI is pretty easy if you know basic JS and HTML; that’s intentional yet kinda hidden behind all the clutter of HA. So if CSS themes won’t do it for you, you can try your chance with that.
