Feature Request: ability to remove/hide header for a dashboard

Feature Requests
1

Hi guys

In the past there were some projects to hide the header.
This is useful for smaller screens because:

  • the header items become smaller too and on a RPi touchscreen for example or a tablet as wallpanel, this is not really convenient
  • you gain valuable screen surface

I really hope this might be considered as an option again for a single dashboard and fellow users think the same.

Please vote for this!

Should be possible with card mod:

In addition to card-mod, where you need to configure this yourself, there already is a custom-card for that :slight_smile:

Thanks guys, will have a look at @paddy0174’s suggestion.

I wonder why this is not considered as a standard feature, is this because of most users having multiple views?
On the other hand, I see quite some projects with touchscreens…

I’m doing some experiments with a panel wide view with the custom swipe card.
This becomes more intuitive on a larger touchscreen.
With a mobile phone, you already hold the device in your hand which makes it easier to tap on smaller icons but with a desk or wall dashboard, it’s not that handy to switch views with the header items.

Bump.

Fully Kiosk is no longer supported so features are failing. Sidebar can be removed, but we can no longer hide the header bar.

I agree with @Nick4, this needs to be a standard Home Assistant option. Why allow for custom displays if Home Assistant won’t play nice without the need for a 3rd party add-on line Fully Kiosk?

Hey Zach, just want to join you in this. Up until today I had managed to hide the blue bar on my Android App somehow, but after a new login i appear to be stuck with it. Really frustrating as it throws off the theme I so carefully put together!

Guys, have a look at GitHub - thomasloven/hass-browser_mod: 🔹 A Home Assistant integration to turn your browser into a controllable entity and media player
This integration can do that and more.

Hmm, seems browser mod, at side panel is complete blank, I don’t see anything there… Need to have a look tomorrow again

I really wish this was just a first-class feature of Home Assistant instead of something you install mods and 3rd party libraries to do. Dashboard panels are very popular/common in the HA community.

temporary version of kiosk-mode was provided for those that can’t wait.

It should work well though…
Did you clear your browser cache?

You could ask for help in Browser_mod - turn your browser into a controllable device, and a media_player

16

yeah, wiped cache, also ctrl - f5 , incognito mode, always visible
back to kiosk mode

already asked on community forum
