Domoticz

I created a CSS file that modifies the Domoticz visual design a bit:

Dashboard:


Switches:


Setup:


I personally use Stylebot browser plugin to add the CSS to Domoticz. But I guess you could also add it some other way.

THE CSS:

Note: I am not a power user, so I may not have styled something that you use. It's easy enough to add it though.

I added some small improvements.

Thanks, always nice to see new options for the user interface. But why not make this a new theme and merge to Domoticz master? Then it would be easily available for all users and wouldn't require any manual updates / browser(-specific) hacks...

Because I don't know how to do that I'm a designer, not a developer.

If someone wanted to do it for me: thanks!

There are also a gazillion things wrong with the HTML that Domoticz currently generates, which I'd love to be able to fix easily. Allas.

In this particular case I'd argue that developing the design is also part of development, which would make you also a developer Maybe this helps: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... ub#p122213

Not really I've tried to use GIT before, it's just too complex for me. It's one of those things about the tech community that baffles me. Why hasn't anyone (like Github) created a tool that just allows me to make changes through a web-interface or something, and then all the nerdy stuff is taken care of by the system. I suspect the global move to Github is keeping a lot of people from contributing to projects.

Have you tried to find out whether this option is available? I'm no expert in this field so admittedly I cannot say if the same works for all repositories (and how well it works), but as I was under the impression it is also a possibility, I did a google search for "github contribure via web" and this is the first hit: https://github.com/WGBH/pbucore/wiki/Co ... -interface

OMG that's wonderful! That didn't exist 3 years ago! Yess!

I've done it, my first ever Github merge request

Well, that turned out to be a bit more difficult that I thought

In order to make theming easier I'm making a new pull request that cleans up the html.

If that gets merged-in, then theming will become easier.

I'm also working on a theme (or two). Here's a sneak preview:



And related to my thread about a usability redesign, I've made the settings page so that if there is enough space the sidebar moves to the right, which would allow more things to be in it:

Nice development.
I like the progress made on UX with
-this improvement
-domoboard
-new dashboard design
Would all these developments fit into one dashboard?
