Just peeking in. As mentioned, been lazily following this endless debate and I guess, many others too.
What I believe many of us is waiting, is something stable on which we can build and customize our UIs to our liking. Currently most of my UI is themed & customized and because of the change I see it more and more the needed (wasn’t the purpose of this UI change somewhat the opposite?). My UI is somewhat OK because on theming and special cards, but everything based on core defs is not. In a fear that also the variables the themes and cards are using are breaking, I have stopped updating my main installation in 2022.11.5.
Also a large amount of users are using picture elements cards mainly showing the unique floorplans, and css support there is poor. Not even mentioning the manual tinkering needed and especially scalability between viewports. Those needs to be improved also.
Is this current direction optimized to mobiles? I wonder why, they have a ridiculous sized screens and keyboards are even worse. Due to the climate change, energy crisis, remote work etc. we should also reduce our mobility, by the way. If needed to use by phone, I rather pack everything on as small surface as possible, eg. entities cards compared to space-taking tiles and so on.
I recall a document by the ui developers were promised including e.g. new css variables? 2022.12 Color states are broken/unusable - #169 by piitaya
Is that released yet? I think I’ve not come across to that, anyway?
