As said before, just a poc to see if it is achievable. New cards and widgets need some finetuning regarding positioning.
I have fixed the menu button text, unselected will be normal text and selected will be bold, as per your design. Also fixed that this will be used right at the start.
Need to apply it to the other menu entrys and will deploy to my github repo during the day.
@Nic0205 Could you please try to reduce the space between the Top Menu entries, like in @Dimitris reference design.
I will try this afternoon. The sd-card of my test raspi has crashed to night. As soon as the new one is up again I will have a look

No Backup? 
I am using VM‘s for development, makes my life easy….
Maybe you forgot that top bar and bottom bar are completely separated from widgets for items
Btw, items on widgets are almost identical to your drafts 
If you want i can post the yaml code so you can check and eventually tell me what to change or view in different way
Hi,
I tried it for the Top-Menu (Home, Floor, Room).
The main problem is in my opinion that we use the f7-segmented component, which creates oh-buttons with always the same size - equal if the text in it is 10px or 100px - It will ever be 100px + a few pixel left and right.
@JustinG: Is there any CSS that could prevent the segmented component from doing that? Or Do you advice an other component for that?
For all: here is an attempt to deal with the top to-menu. But that does not solve the real base problem…

Thanks @Nic0205, it does solve the issue for now. I have implemented it in my poc and updated github.
There is now tha latest version with fixed bold menu items, white background and since now, reduced space between top menu items.
I have also changed the background for the security card to white (those changes depend on the overall theme dark/light)
Please feel free to test and report back.
It’s not the segmented element that is making the buttons the same width; it’s that the buttons are all defined as having a width of 25% of the segmented element’s overall width. Probably what you’re looking for is to get rid of the width style and instead add
flex: 1 1 auto
The auto part of that means "start this element with the width that best fits it’s contents.
Unfortunately, removing width and adding flex: 1 1 auto gives the same result like w had before adding the width part.
I’ve lost track. What problem was that?
this was the old version:
this is the new version with the width tag inserted:
The space between the Menu entries is now “narrower”. But only with the “Width”-trick.
All buttons does still have the same size. In the end we want to have the alignments following Dimitris pattern:

Good job man!
For bottom menu,i think to invert colors: selected buttons=white
Unselected=black
Yes and no - unselected = light gray and selected = white.
@hmerk: I Suggest that I have a look at it while going further with the stylesheet…
@Dimitris: Is the background-color also a light gray or just white? Did not find it in your color scheme:
and: do you have a final one?
Yes please, I can then concentrate on the logic for the floors
OK,
Then the problem that causes the wide spacing is, indirectly, the f7-segmented component. When a button is inside a segmented component it inherits a width of 100% from the segmented parent. This means that the buttons will try to take up as much space as they can (if the segmented didn’t have no-wrap set for the flex display, each button would take up the entire width and they would be stacked top-to-bottom instead of side-to-side). Setting the width of the button does fix this, but you don’t want to set it to a fixed value if you want the buttons to each size to their content. Instead you want:
width: auto
which will let the browser set the width. However, once you do that, it doesn’t look like it fixes the problem immediately:
That’s because the segmented is still the full width of the display, and the flexbox spacing is causing the buttons to grow to fill the space. So you also have to set the button not to grow:
flex: 0 1 auto
That’s better. But if we take a detailed look, it still doesn’t quite match Dimitris design exactly: because the buttons actually touch each other instead of there being space which we can see if we temporarily change the background:
With flexbox spacing it’s very easy to make sure that there is space between the elements, we just tell the flex container (in this case the segmented component) to add a gap. Dimitri’s template calls for the same padding width as the gap. The default button padding is 10px so we can start with a gap of 10px:
gap: 10px
If that’s too much space then you can adjust the left- and right- padding and the gap values accordingly.
Put it all together and you get:
- component: f7-segmented
config:
style:
flex: 1 1 auto
justify-content: center
margin-left: 2%
margin-right: 2%
gap: 10px

@Nic0205, @Dimitris, i think we are running into some issues with the color scheme.
The version @Nic0205 refered to includes e.g. different background and icon clours based on the scene state.
I tried it, but it is not working.
The card background is read on loading, but cannot be changed dynamically, or I did not find a way how to.
@JustinG Do you have a clever idea ?
Hey @JustinG I am working on putting as much in the stylesheet as it is possible / makes sense.
One extended question to that.
In the bottom navbar we call different styling options, that are not put in the style tag but one level above:
- component: oh-button
config:
action: variable
actionVariable: objVar
actionVariableValue:
selectSection: =vars.objVar.selectSection
selectThing: Rollers
class:
- padding-top-half
- display-flex
- flex-direction-column
---> fill: '=vars.objVar.selectThing=="Rollers" ? true : false'
---> icon-f7: archivebox
---> iconColor: '=vars.objVar.selectThing=="Rollers" ? "black" : "white"'
---> iconSize: 20
style:
--f7-button-bg-color: transparent
--f7-button-border-radius: 15px
--f7-button-hover-bg-color: '=vars.objVar.selectThing=="Rollers" ? "F8BB00" : "transparent"'
--f7-button-padding-horizontal: 0px
--f7-button-padding-vertical: 0px
--f7-button-text-color: '=vars.objVar.selectThing=="Rollers" ? "black" : "white"'
font-size: 12px
height: auto
text: Shades
How could I put the things like fill, icon-f7, iconColor etc. in the stylesheet too?
