Finally! My own working LCARs panels!

I’ve been putting this off for way too long but I finally installed the LCARs theme in my HA and got to work redesigning all my dashboards.

    I always thought that LCARS was a very cool display system, but after studying UI and UX design, I’ve come to find that it’s actually a pretty bad HUD for at-a-glance information display. It’s ok for displaying certain types of information and arrangements of certain controls, but it was designed by the Okudas in the late 80s. We’ve come a long way since then.

    What it is very good for, however, is looking really cool on screen. They’ve updated it over the years to include spiffy, animations and such. It still looks pretty futuristic, even though it’s almost 40 years old.

    To be super clear, I am not OP, just cross posting it for OP since this is amazing!

    If you’re going to release this, do NOT mention lcars by name. Paramount will have it taken down ASAP. I remember like a decade ago when the iPads first came out, someone released a basic device stats app with an lcars theme, and they had to pull it almost immediately when Paramount complained iirc.

    Don’t forget to put black paper on it, too!
