v1.2.0 - Standalone Desktop App, Preview Site and Zip Export
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.
