Transparent Dark Gray

A transparent dark gray theme for Home Assistant

This is my first ever custom theme for Home Assistant.
Thanks to: https://github.com/JOHLC/transparentblue for his dark blue theme, where this theme is based on.

General information

I am using the frontend extion animated backgrounds. Thats the reason that I have removed a background from this theme.
If you want one, please have a look below under Changing the background image. Maybe I will release a darkgray version with a background implemented. As I am using this for my personal interest. Be aware, that I will only be giving limited support and wont accept all pull requests.

switch-unchecked-button-color: 'var(--slightly-darker-text)' #Switch Off
switch-checked-track-color: '#009FFF' #Switch background when On
