How to hide panel title (small LCD env)

Configuration Frontend

Hi,
I have a small LCD display and panel title (top blue bar with name) wastes a lot of space:

How to get rid of it? Ideally I would keep the hamburger menu left of it, but it’s not mandatory. As a last resort I’m thinking about patching HA sources (any hint where this part is declared in code would be useful), but maybe there us a better/simpler/update-resistant way of doing this?

HACS → kiosk mode addon. There are quite a lot of options, i bet you’ll find the correct one

It looks like there was a custom component to address this (custom header) that is long gone: Custom Header - #1143 by scstraus
I can’t believe that for last 4 years nobody added this functionality to the core - the header is useless for small screen envs. Any other good way to have kiosk-like HA layout?

I think that kiosk mode addon is a kind of successor of that addon…

Thank you :slight_smile: Still looking for alternatives just in case (the KM repo is not updated for last 3 years so I have a bad feeling).

It looks like my worries with inactivity in Kiosk Mode repo are more-or-less right:

I also found alternative with a fresh commit in doc:

Guys, any other recommendations for an actively maintained project that I can integrate without worries that it is abandoned (I create custom bitmaps so after creating a set for no-header there is no coming back without lots of pain)

Welcome to the forum!

And another option to give you more choices: GitHub - thomasloven/hass-browser_mod: 🔹 A Home Assistant integration to turn your browser into a controllable entity and media player

@Nick4 thank you so much for your answer. Believe or not but I’ve just re-entered my post to report exactly the same and saw your answer. I find GitHub - thomasloven/hass-browser_mod: 🔹 A Home Assistant integration to turn your browser into a controllable entity and media player the most comprehensive solution for lots of my non-trivial needs. This mod got also an update hiccup recently but community pull request saved the day.

Hi @dpub,

Thank you :slight_smile: Still looking for alternatives just in case (the KM repo is not updated for last 3 years so I have a bad feeling).

Are you sure that you are looking at HACS → kiosk mode as @Protoncek recommended you? I think that you are looking at the original kiosk-mode that is unmaintained since 2022, but that one is not the one in HACS :slightly_smiling_face:

The new kiosk mode addon is a direct replacement of old (unmaintained) one. The new one was created for this only reason, because old one wasn’t maintained and a problem occured with HA update.

I know, that is why I mentioned that for sure he was looking at the original kiosk-mode, but the one in HACS is since a long time ago the new version. :slightly_smiling_face:
