HATS now runs as a standalone desktop app, has a preview-only website and
exports themes as ready-to-install zip files.

Added

  • Standalone desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. It runs the designer
    and the live preview on your own computer, with no Home Assistant needed.
  • Preview-only website at https://homeriz.github.io/hats/. Open it with
    ?repo=OWNER/REPO to see any public GitHub theme repo exactly as its author
    published it, in the real Home Assistant frontend. It installs nothing.
  • Download .zip in the export dialog: the theme and its background image in
    the folders Home Assistant expects, a per-view snippet and a README with the
    install steps.
  • Select several themes in the library and export them in one zip.
  • Import dialog for a theme YAML, a background image and a per-view snippet.
  • UIX as a styling engine next to card-mod, chosen in the Doctor.

Changed

  • In the library, a click selects a theme and a double click or the eye icon
    opens its preview. Export is shown only on the Designer tab.
  • The standalone app hides what only makes sense inside Home Assistant, and
    Download replaces Install.
  • The live preview is one Home page with an example of every card family.
  • Each card switch now matches what the theme generates. Stack-in-Card
    merges its inner cards into one glass card, and the Button Card ripple is
    stronger on hover and press.

Fixed

  • The live preview no longer goes blank after Edit in Designer.
  • The per-view background snippet now works on themes made in HATS.
  • The selected sidebar item stays visible when card-mod is off.
  • The local server refuses unexpected Host headers, and the desktop window
    only follows links that point to the app.
