Thank you again! Finally dealt with the last thing that annoyed me here, text color and badge color that was not fitting.
Updated 2020 dashboard (plus a TV control that I’ve added, will write about it separately)

WELL DONE! How do you install and use the Nest theme?
Very nice theme @alt_smarthouse !
I have just installed it and I have trouble with the background. Mine is almost white. Where did I go wrong ? I’ve tried to mess with the nest.yaml code but nothing I do works.
background-color doesnt work, neither do background: ‘radial-gradient(#286a84, #212527)’ (saw this in the comments)… Pls help

@alt_smarthouse, do you mind sharing the yaml for your “Good Night”, “Arrive Home”, and “Leave Home” buttons card?
what line let you change color of icons everywhere? Now I do it in customise section. But if I can add them in the theme would be nice
Am I missing a link? Did you share your yams files or not?
I actually don’t know if a background can be set via the theme.
I set mine per card (there must be a better way) in the lovelace editor like so:
- background: center / cover no-repeat url("/local/bg1.jpeg")
This is the Image I use:

I’ve added the scenes to the gist here:
@poudenes which icons specifically? each card has it’s own colors, or are you talking about badges?
Shared bits and pieces of it, not the whole thing, LMK what interests you from there and I can add to the gist
I was just interested in your config and ui-lovelace yaml files. I’m also not yet versed into using pages. I was wondering how you did that.
Thanks.

Looks terrific! You’ve got a few gists for individual elements of your Home Assistant. Any chance you can add your entire /config/ (minus secrets.yaml) to GitHub? I’d love to have a look at how it all fits together!

I noticed in your Kit that you say you’re not yet using your Raspberry Pi Zero-W for anything, but it’s for your Tesla. Here’s the perfect Zero-W + Tesla project for you:
TeslaUSB - Automatic Dashcam Backups with Raspberry Pi
(Chris at Crosstalk Solutions is one of my favorite YouTubers. Wish he’d get into the Home Assistant game. 
Hey,
I will give it a try, but I don’t want to expose my current Github project as there might be some secrets in history before I removed them and put in secrets.yaml.
I will update here if I made any progress on cleaning up the repo (it also includes different nodeRed configs and backups and those include secrets as well)
Regrading he pi0 and tesla, that’s why I got it originally, but since then Tesla has updated it’s software to autodeleted older recordings, and TBH I didn’t see a reason to store EVERYTHING so I kinda didn’t get there.
Do you still see a reason to back up everything?
Oh, I was just passing along the URL to Chris’s video, in case you hadn’t seen it. I don’t have a Tesla myself, so I don’t know too much about what’s possible. Though I would personally really like to set something like that up for my Audi, if it were at all possible… (I’m pretty sure it’s not.)
Totally understand about the need to clean up before sharing. I’m not even ready to commit my HA config mess to GitHub privately! Still figuring too many things out…
Cheers, and if nothing else, your screenshots are inspiring, and the gists and URLs extremely useful!

Unfortunately I also had issues with your solution. To make it work I added !important. It’s now working:
// Monkey patch hui-view to remove overflow and show borders
customElements.whenDefined("hui-view").then( () => {
const HuiView = customElements.get("hui-view").prototype;
const oldRenderStyles = HuiView.renderStyles;
HuiView.renderStyles = function() {
let original = oldRenderStyles();
original.strings = [original.strings[0] + `
<style>
.column {
overflow: unset !important;
}
</style>
`];
return original;
}
});

Why don’t you add your theme via HACS ?

Hi,
I am getting this same error (as @poudenes above) . I have tried adding a name at the start of the file like the suggestion that helped, but that did not work for me. I downloaded the nest.yaml file directly from the provided link and uploaded via the Hass.io Configurator.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
maybe you forgotten the name of the theme:
name_of_theme:
code
code
then the rest of the code with 2 spaces
hmm, nope I did try that.
I have a seperate nest.yaml file for the theme, and have then done an include in the configuration.yaml to include the nest.yaml file for the frontend.
Thanks though.
