I have the same Problem. You can put the Datepicker in the Header Bar using a custom card:
see here:
header_cards:
justify_content: null
cards:
- type: energy-date-selection
card_mod:
style: |
ha-card {
color: white;
--ha-card-background: "rgba(30, 30, 30, 0.0)";
--ha-card-border-width: 0px;
--ha-card-border-radius: 1px
}
But I would much prefer it to be floating, like the new one.
