• Color schemes: Machinon, Gruvbox, Magenta, and Paper, each in a light and a dark variant
• A custom color picker: design your own palette and save it as a preset
• The Theme Hub: every theme setting on one page inside Domoticz, reachable from the Setup menu
• A refreshed icon set with a built-in icon-pack installer (Blue UI, Color, and Fun styles) so you can restyle your device icons with a click
• Mobile-polished layouts: dashboards, menus, and dialogs made for small screens instead of shrunken desktop pages
• Faster loading: releases are packaged so the theme loads in one go, noticeably quicker on slow connections

• Domoticz 2025.2 or newer, latest beta recommended

I was using the previous version with a few personal tweaks to make everything look the way I wanted. In the new version, everything works perfectly, the menus are fantastic, and I've only found one minor bug... I'd love to see more updates with new features.

• Dark schemes got a proper pass. Several Domoticz pages draw their own chrome in fixed light colours, and where Machinon paints over the top the two disagreed. On dark that left buttons with no icon, buttons with no label, and the Events page stuck as a light panel. All fixed.
• The Events script editor now follows your colour scheme: the script list, the file tabs and the toolbar. The code area keeps whatever editor theme you picked in its own dropdown, so a light editor inside dark surroundings is still your choice.
• Two rough edges on the phone dashboard: the coloured bar at the top of each section now reaches the top of its card, and the card shadow wraps the corners instead of being cut off down the sides.
• A Machinon-styled colour picker for colour lights, and the device edit window is usable on a phone again.
• 23 new icons across the Blue UI and Color styles, plus a refresh offer in the Theme Hub for icons you already installed.
• The Icon packs tab is now shown to admins only, since installing an icon changes it for everyone on that Domoticz.

I have one question: I tested Machinon on a spare Raspberry Pi, and could switch back and forth between the Domoticz default theme and Machinon. Nevertheless, I am still hesitant to implement Machinon on my ‘production’ machine. Can you confirm and guarantee that nothing in the default Domoticz theme is changed after installing Machinon? I always want to be able to switch back to the old and trusted Domoticz default theme, if necessary.

Finally, is uninstalling Machinon just deleting its folder?

Thanks for this beautiful piece of software.

Thank you for your quick reply. I’m convinced. You certainly earned the extra star on GitHub, I just gave you

• The top header has a new look: a coloured brand bar carrying the Machinon logo, above the menu, instead of the old blue gradient. The logo went missing in the v2.0 relaunch, so it is properly back here, and it takes on your colour scheme. Scroll down and the menu button lifts into a tidy floating button. A custom logo you uploaded is untouched, and Hide logo still works.
• Two small table niceties: rows now highlight when you hover them, and the selected row is a soft accent tint with a coloured edge instead of a solid block, so a button sitting inside a selected row stays readable.
• The Theme Hub tab for device icons is now called Icons, with clearer wording: it is a library you browse to add individual icons to individual devices, not an all-or-nothing pack. Icons you already installed now have a one-click refresh on their card.
• The theme is a lighter download: about 600 KB less from dropping icon-font formats no current browser needs, and about 3.2 MB less from storing the images and icons more efficiently. Nothing looks different.
• Dynamic Dashboard widget panels now carry the same soft shadow as the device cards, so both dashboards match.

• Theme settings could silently fail to save once you had several custom themes or a lot of custom icons, on Domoticz versions that predate its built-in theme settings storage. It looked like a normal save until the settings were gone in another browser. That limit is gone, and if a save fails for any reason you now get a message instead of losing settings quietly.
• The device icon on each row of Setup > Devices is readable on the dark schemes with Font Awesome glyphs chosen. For a device you can switch on or off it was drawn almost black against the dark row.
• The small icon preview beside the Change... button follows your colour scheme instead of staying Domoticz's fixed blue.
• The arrows that page between floorplans are readable on the light schemes and take your accent colour. They were a white chevron on a translucent grey panel that all but vanished over a light floorplan.
• The icon picker Domoticz opens when you assign an icon to a device follows your colour scheme. On the light schemes not one icon in it had a readable name.
