it probably never worked fine.
you need to correct your yaml.

after a : you always need to put a space
i see things like:

widget_type:s cript

that will also break things

the logs show that you have been editing stuff and that you made errors and then saved it.
YAML is very unforgiving, when it comes to typos, using tabs instead of spaces, alignment, etc.

after you have cleaned up all code the nest way to go is to clear the logs, clear all cache (browsers), restart your devices (the one with appdaemon on it and the one you use to view dashboards) and see in the logs if you still got errors.

12

okay i will try that thank you

13

okay so after some work of going through and adding spaces and fixed some spelling i got this

Dormroom: parser says 
Dormroom: in "", line 26, column 11: entity: script.1548210809889 ^ 
Dormroom: could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key
14

so inspect the lines 25 and 26 and see what there is wrong there.

15

i did and fixed it but quick question is there any way i can change the background of the dashboard i’ve been looking through the docs and i cannot find anything for it

16

that can only be done by creating a custom skin.

17

have you ever got this before now it stopped working again

you probably have extra spaces in front of a line somewhere.
