same, same :rofl:, I canā€™t look at the dashboard, good that everything is working and I donā€™t really need to make changes or work on today.

**disabling minimalist ui from integration is solving the issue/joke. I guess this will restore to normal starting from tomorrow.

like this you mean? :roll_eyes:

I saw the dev said that the update should fix the crooked dashboard. But now im on 3.1.4 and everything is still broken : )

I also updated to 3.1.4 and did a shift+f5 in chrome and that fixed the crooked dashboard and the dropdown menus

No need to uninstall UI Minimalist. It just rolled-out the fix from card-mod šŸŒ» Lovelace UI ā€¢ Minimalist - #1826 by basbrus

CTRL+F5 your browser

Hahahaha I love it!! :rofl:

What a smart way of getting a bit of numbers/feedback of users using card-mod :grimacing: :+1:

As I was made aware of this topic even before I discovered anything crucial on my UI, I find it quite funny.

Otherwise I think I would be a little pissed especially when I would have spent a bit of time to investigate.

So for me: great Aprilā€™s fool Thomas :grin:

Update: found this in the release notes. Great hint making us aware of the meaning of ā€žcustomā€œ !

I did this as a bit of fun. I hope some appreciated it a bit. But it could have been something else entirelyā€¦
When you install custom components or plugins outside of Home Assistants control and strict quality checking - you are vulnerable.

I did freak out a little bit when it happened, then I found this thread.
It is kinda of a funny joke, but I think you missed one crucial thing : an easy way for people to turn if off.

I think if you had added like an extra button somewhere in the UI to easily turn if off, you wouldnā€™t have so much blowback.

But thanks for all your work anyway !

Yeah.
Iā€™ll keep that in mind when I never do anything like this ever again.

Iā€™m not gonna say I never misread something in my life because I would be lying, but he did not swear at you, you should read what he said again. He said the prank is fucked up, and I totally agree. HA is not a joke, lots of people including myself depend on this application and put a lot of time and effort into it. I spent hundreds of hours fine tuning my setup since 2018, I have over 250 automations and my dashboards are intricately created. Some people even sell HA as a service by building home automation systems for their clients. It was a lapse of judgment by thomas and he fixed it, but it is a fucked up prank. The guy didnā€™t swear at all, he has been very respectful, I have to say if it was me, I would have lost my sh*t, I have to applaud the OP for keeping his cool.

My two cents worth - maybe we shold look back on these couple minutes of scrambling this morning to reflect on how much work Thomas (and all other devs) have contributed to Home Assistant and thank them for all of their time and effort. I think back to my early dashboards and what they looked like compared to today and know that I could not have done this without them.

So Thomas, thanks again for everything (even a little humor).

Iā€™ve read it multiple times, and I donā€™t see it as a nice comment. It could have been said professionally and it wouldnā€™t have garnered my response. Keep in mind that comments like his (and now yours) are against the code of conduct but I (and other mods) let it slide given the circumstances.

@thomasloven I am putting myself in your shoes and wanna say it can be really overwhelming when people criticize, but I am very confident about the criticism being about the prank and not yourself - your work is highly valued, I hope you keep up this amazing work you do, we all love and appreciate it, I am sure people are only complaining about the issue this has caused, not yourself as a person, so hopefully youā€™re not feeling terrible.

Well petro, if you guys are going to apply rules, be consistent. Thereā€™s no circumstance here. People swear because theyā€™re upset. He did not make a personal attack. I think personal attacks are absolutely NOT right, but using colloquialisms is part of language and thereā€™s nothing unprofessional about it. You can see extremely successful people using colloquialisms all the time even in public. Donā€™t try to pontificate, itā€™s censorship and belongs in Russia, not here.

Did I sensor anyone?

No, which is a good thing :slight_smile:

Ok then, to circle back: Heā€™s going to get some ā€¦'s from me when I think heā€™s being rediculous. Sorry that offended you.
