New Features

Fix: Slider zero-height issue from 2026.05.08.2 has been fixed

Connectivity Overlay Effects

  • The Connectivity Overlay Effects (LCARdS Config Panel → Connectivity tab) bring customizable fullscreen effects that play on disconnection/reconnection with the Home Assistant server.
  • Choose from a variety of effects such as custom stylized text and HA card(s) - can be scoped by device/user - great for kiosk installs.

Card Portal

The core system behind Connectivity Overlay and the Alert Overlay systems, is now available as an HA Action.

  • Create your own customized overlays with fully configurable effect layers and cards.
  • Trigger from automations or card actions - and scope to any device/user.
  • Useful for simple use-cases where browser_mod is not required.

HA-LCARS Theme Profiles

  • Two custom LCARdS theme profiles for HA-LCARS have been added.
  • In Picard style, these coordinate the LCARdS colour palette with the HA-LCARS theme and the core HA colour palette that HA uses to derive other UI colours.
  • Two accent modes are provided (Red/Blue) and both support Light/Dark mode in Home Assistant.
  • See Configuration → HA-LCARS Theme Profiles for setup instructions and a full YAML.

Card Sizing: max_width/max_height & CSS Expressions

  • Cards now accept max_width and max_height when it is desired to limit card dimensions when autosizing in containers.
  • Dimension configuration values can now be any CSS length expression — pixels, viewport units, clamp(), calc(), percentages, etc.
  • This opens up possibilities such as adaptable elbow widths, etc.

Button Enhancements

  • Border Hover & Pressed States: Button border colours can now respond to interaction state.
  • Button Default Label: The default stub label for new Button cards is now a randomly chosen placeholder such as 3E-F2A instead of the static 'LCARdS' string (similar to CB-LCARS auto-generated labels)
  • New convenience presets panel-light & panel-dark which are preconfigured buttons to be used in decorative mode. They have hover and interactive effects default disabled.

Font Rendering Improvements

  • Several Alien fonts have had a size-adjust property adjustment in the @font-face declarations. Improving size equivalency with other fonts. Please report any issues or adjustment suggestions.

Updates & Fixes

  • Slider: fix autosizing resize loop in dimensionless parent (ie. custom-layout-card)
  • More documentation updates
  • CI: add documentation validation for broken links; validation of examples against card schema in the code
  • several other small fixes an improvements
