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.

That's been added a while ago with a new layout type that is also the default when creating new views now

That seems to be incorrect, I just tried and it forces the use of their titles and badges spanning entire width and only at the top with, sections forced into columns underneath. There is no way to make a card span e.g. 2/3 of the width with the last 1/3 used by another card. I also can't make a full width section below other sections, it forces columns that fixes to screen centre if it doesn't fill the whole screen, I can't even make it stay to the left or right of the screen.

Yeah I can drag cards between sections, but I cant control sizes or location of anything, its still locked in to their very limited idea of dash board layouts.

You can set the width and height in the properties of the cards themselves. It's the last tab.

It still doesnt expand beyond the fixed width of the section column it's created in. And a card cannot span multiple columns, it's always locked to a single column. You also can't control left/right position of columns, it only starts from centre if the page and expands from there.

You can change the width of sections but if that's still not what you want, I don't really get what you're trying to do
