How do you install this theme?

Hi,

So I'm new to HADashboard and was looking around for a nice theme to use for my dashboard. After finding yours, the best looking imo, I wanted to install it. Now, after a few hours of trying I just can't get anything to work. I was wondering if you could walk me through from start to finish, how to actually replicate something in the screenshot.

Many thanks in advance and congratulations for making such a great theme.

Hi, thanks for the comments! Do you have HADashboard installed and working with other themes besides mine? Are you running into any errors when you try to open the dashboard?

I'm also wondering the same, I have a "compiled" folder w/ subfolders in it of css, html, and javascript. and each of those have subfolders for default and obsidian with files inside.

I guess I'm not sure where to place your files -- I can add ?skin=obsidian and that works, but that skin is god awful.

Would love to use this theme but I don't find the readme very clear on how to install. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The folder structure of the repository matches where they go in your appdaemon folder.

The blur_light folder and its contents goes in /conf/custom_css. I can't remember if HADashboard comes with the custom_css folder by default or not so you might need to create it.

Don't worry about the Compiled folder, appdaemon will create files in here automatically when you load the dashboard for the first time.

The files in the dashboards folder go under /conf/dashboards/. Note that these yaml files need to be edited to include the names of your Home Assistant entities. For example, if you open 'main_middle_panel.yaml' you'll see things like light.livingroom_lights_level. This matches an entity I have in Home Assistant so you'll need to add your own.

Let me know if that works for you.

That was it, it was the custom_css folder that was needed, dropped blur_light folder in there and I'm up and running now - will have to mess with the dashboards you provided now. They're yaml format but newer installs of HADashboard seem to look for .dash extensions instead.

PS - your background image URL in the files on github is broken - easy enough to fix though on my own.

Thanks for the reply! :)

No problem! Thanks for catching the broken URL. Just fixed.
