Release Notes

v4.1.2 (29-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• The calendar language now follows the general language setting. Previously calendarlanguage defaulted to en_US, so weekdays and months in the Calendar block stayed English when language was set to, for example, nl_NL (#1315). calendarlanguage now defaults to the value of language; an explicitly configured calendarlanguage still takes precedence.

• The default calendarformat is now dd DD-MM HH:mm (was dd DD.MM HH:mm), so dates show as 29-09 instead of 29.09. A configured calendarformat is not affected.

• The calendar format and language are back in the Settings menu (Localize). They stay in sync with the Calendar Widget Config: both edit calendarformat and calendarlanguage.

• Adding a calendar with Add items > Calendar now writes calendarformat and calendarlanguage to the config, as Dashticz 3 did.

• Code

• js/settings.js falls back to settings['language'] when calendarlanguage is not configured.

• js/savewidgets.php also saves settings when no widgets are submitted and keeps the saved settings that are not part of the request.

v4.1.1 (27-9-2026)

• Fixes

• A sub-device that the grid Device Editor stored under a named key, for example the current usage of a P1 Smart Meter as blocks['Stroom_1'] = {idx: '274_1', ...}, lost its sub-index on the next save of that screen: idx became 274 and the tile showed every value of the meter instead of the one sub-device (#1309). The <idx>_<subidx> form is now kept. A block that already lost its sub-index can be corrected by entering, for example, 274_1 in the IDX field of its Device Config.

• An action in a popup that was still opening got lost. Bootstrap ignores closing a popup during its fade-in, so an early click on OK, Save or Back, a tile picked in the Add items menu, or Continue in the mode-switch warning applied its action but left the popup open, and what should follow (for example Device Config opening from the Device Editor) never happened. These popups now close as soon as they have finished opening. Cancel, the close button, Escape and clicks on the background behave as before.

• Code

• Custom devices accept an <idx>_<subidx> idx in js/deviceeditor.js, js/saveblocks.php and js/configwriter.php; live lookups (default icon, Dial/Bar support) keep using the base device.

• New _hideModal() helper in js/deviceeditor.js, js/widgeteditor.js and js/components/simpleblock.js for popups that close after their own actions. This also fixes the intermittent Playwright failure of “Calendar Widget Config reloads a legacy single icalurl safely”.

• _DASHTICZ_VERSION (and bundle.css?v=) raised to 191, so browsers load the fixed editor scripts instead of a cached copy.

v4.1.0 (27-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Rewrote the documentation for Dashticz 4. New pages: First start (the setup wizard, the write-access check and the Wizard/Custom mode picker), a Wizard mode section (the topbar, the Screen/Layout Editor and screens, the Add items menu, the Device Editor and every Device Config option, widgets and Widget Config, the special blocks and Automation) with screenshots, and The Settings menu. The introduction, installation, configuration, screens, columns and troubleshooting pages were updated for Dashticz 4, the hand-written configuration guide is now the Custom mode guide, and the configuration reference lists config_mode, client_id/client_secret, theme, background_image, gridColumns, rowHeight and topbar_use_png_icons.

• Widget Config and Device Config (merged in #313, after the 4.0.13 notes): every Widget Config uses the same section order (Display options, Settings, Custom fields) and one shared two-column layout, including the repeatable Calendar/Camera/Radio/Timegraph entries. Fields, headings, buttons and controls have one uniform spacing, height and style; add buttons are green and labelled, numeric fields use number inputs, and the LMS, PostNL and Garbage settings use compact layouts. The Dutch translation is complete and the French translation was added for all editor, widget and status texts.

• Fixes

• The confirmation shown when switching from Custom to Wizard mode said that all blocks, columns and screens are removed from CONFIG.js. Only the screen that is shown is converted to a grid layout; the text now says so and suggests making a copy of CONFIG.js first.

• A plain device that the grid Device Editor stored under a named key showed the Multi Device Main IDX label and its value-row help in Device Config. It now shows IDX with the device/variable help; a real Multi Device keeps Main IDX.

• The bolt icon in the Automation heading and the remove (trash) button of an automation rule were shown at the global 30px icon size; they are text-sized again.

• Stylesheets and the LMS/Garbage config helpers are cache-busted on every page load (merged in #313), so browsers no longer keep an outdated copy after an update.

v4.0.13 (26-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a Text section to the Device Config of Domoticz devices and idx-backed Custom devices (widgets are not affected). Per block you can set the title size and the value size in pixels (6-100) and the text alignment (Theme default, left, center or right). By default a block keeps the font sizes and alignment of the selected theme, or of the base style (css/creative.css) when no theme is selected; a value set here overrides that theme/base setting for this block only. Leaving a size empty or choosing Theme default falls back to the theme again. The settings are stored in CONFIG.js as fontsize_title, fontsize_value and textalign and applied by applyBlockTextStyle() in js/blocks.js; the last-update text keeps its own theme size.

v4.0.12 (21-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added the F1 widget (Widgets menu, in the “multiple per screen” section), based on the domoticz_F1 plugin. It downloads the F1 calendar itself through the same-origin PHP bridge vendor/dashticz/f1/index.php, so no Domoticz device is needed. Choose per tile with two icon buttons what it shows: the next session, or all sessions of the race weekend (with the race location added to the tile title). Options per tile: language, calendar URL per language (defaults to the plugin’s feeds), UTC offset, poll interval, session filter, next-event visibility in days, no-event text, hideimageonempty, an optional image before the Next event text and a font size that works like the one of the cluster widget. The F1 settings are shown below the Title/Icon fields in the Device Config, in two columns. See f1.

• Fixes

• The version is bumped so browsers no longer serve cached editor scripts (deviceeditor.js, widgeteditor.js and others are loaded as file.js?v=<version>): a stale copy could make saving a second F1 widget fail without an error message.

• Saving a second F1 widget no longer drops an early singleton F1 block (type: 'f1'/'f1events') from the screen: it is kept and converted to the per-block F1 settings on the next save.

v4.0.11 (20-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a Compact option to the Device Config of Selector Switches (buttons style) with exactly three levels. The block keeps its icon and title where every other block has them; the three level buttons (for example Open/Half/Dicht) become small icon buttons (chevron up, minus, chevron down) below the title. The buttons scale with the block height (Layout Editor / configured height), and the level names stay available as tooltip and accessible name. The option is stored as compactSelector in CONFIG.js and is styled in the Modern Dark theme.

v4.0.10 (20-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added the HP iLO widget (Widgets menu): clustered HPE server info read from the iLO Redfish API through the same-origin PHP bridge vendor/dashticz/hpilo/index.php, based on the domoticz_HP_ilo plugin. The rows (server name, model, power, health, uptime as days/hours/minutes, fan speed, CPU and inlet temperature, power usage, storage health, SSD lifetime, iLO firmware, network, serial number, minimum fan speed, thermal configuration and power regulator) are picked and drag-reordered in the widget config. iLO host, port, credentials, poll interval and font size are widget settings.

• The Widgets menu cards are now sorted alphabetically.

• The Widgets menu now shows four cards per row (slightly smaller cards, same menu width).

v4.0.9 (14-9-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the plain Thermostat/Setpoint block’s plus/minus buttons silently doing nothing (issue #1292): the v4.0.0 typography stabilization renamed the block’s value span from class="state" to class="value" in tpl/thermostat_block.tpl, but js/tempcontrol.js’s click handler still looked up the old .state class, so it always read an empty selection, never parsed a valid current value, and never sent the setsetpoint command. Updated the selector to .value to match the current template.

v4.0.8 (13-9-2026)

• Fixes

• Modern Dark: reverted block backgrounds (--main-bg) back to a flat color, undoing an earlier gradient experiment for this theme specifically. Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey are unaffected.

v4.0.7 (12-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Blinds/Dimmer slider: the up/down/stop action buttons and their icons (32px/12px), and the percentage scale labels beside the track (12px, 16px for the tick bold-highlighting the current value), are now bigger touch targets - 38px/14px and 14px/16px respectively - on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes.

• Code

• Redesigned the slider’s drag handle in css/creative.css itself (so it applies to every theme, and to both the Blinds and Dimmer variants that share this component): previously a small 16px round dot in a light grey fill, it’s now a rounded rectangle spanning the full width of the track (16px tall, 6px corner radius, a softened white border), filled with a dark green pulled from the same palette as the track’s own fill gradient.

v4.0.6 (10-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Custom Device editor: the IDX field now also accepts v<idx> to reference a Domoticz user variable, alongside the existing plain-integer device idx (and s<idx> for a scene/group). The runtime already resolved this format; only the visual editor and its server-side validation were missing it, so a variable-backed device previously had to be added by hand-editing CONFIG.js.

• Fixes

• The Device Config popup opened from a tile’s own Settings/gear icon still only accepted a plain positive integer IDX, in a field that cannot even display v<idx> - reopening an already-created variable-backed Custom/Multi Device left it empty, silently failing every save from that popup, including unrelated changes like the Last update checkbox.

• The (grid) Layout Editor classified a variable-backed Custom Device as an unrecognized block shape, so the tile lost its config (cog) icon entirely once the Layout Editor was involved, even though its Device Config popup worked fine everywhere else.

• Custom/Multi Device’s Last update checkbox had no effect when unchecked - the property was omitted instead of written as false, so the block silently kept following the global Last update setting.

v4.0.5 (6-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Traffic info widget: switched to RWS (Rijkswaterstaat)’s public traffic API - it needs no API key at all, unlike ANWB’s traffic API, which no longer issues new keys. There is no longer a provider choice; the widget always uses RWS.

• Traffic info widget: added an optional maxDistance (km) filter, since a nationwide list can get too long for the block. Configurable per widget instance from the Widget editor’s Traffic information quick-add, alongside optional latitude/longitude overrides that default to Domoticz’s own configured system location.

• Traffic info widget: the Traffic jams and Roadworks toggles, and the Max results field, are now dedicated controls (the toggles as on/off switches) in the Widget editor’s Traffic information quick-add, instead of showing up as raw rows in the generic Extra fields editor.

• Fixes

• Traffic info widget: none of a widget’s Traffic jams/Roadworks/Max results settings were actually saved - js/savewidgets.php’s request handler had no case reading these fields from the submitted widget at all, so _widgetBlockProps() fell back to its own hardcoded (ANWB-era) defaults on every single save, silently discarding whatever was actually configured. Re-opening an already-placed widget’s config now also correctly reads its current settings back from its own saved block, instead of only ever showing catalog defaults.

v4.0.4 (5-9-2026)

• Fixes

• Sunrise/sunset widget: a custom block.addClass was silently ignored. renderSunrise() builds its own markup instead of going through js/dashticz.js’s renderBlock() (which every other block relies on for this), so it never applied it - now read and applied directly.

• Sunrise/sunset widget: the Icon checkbox now defaults to on. It has an obvious default icon (fas fa-sun), unlike iframe (which has none to guess and keeps the old off-by-default behaviour for a hand-written CONFIG.js block with no icon field).

• Sunrise/sunset widget: the title now carries the standard .dt_title class (its font-size/margin overridden back down to this small tile’s compact size) so a theme’s .dt_title alignment rules - e.g. a theme that right-aligns block titles - apply here too, instead of the title always sitting left-aligned regardless of theme.

• Sunrise/sunset widget: the title stayed left-aligned on Modern Dark and both Liquid Glass themes even after the .dt_title fix above, since those themes actually right-align every device block’s title via .mh { text-align: right !important }, not a generic .dt_title rule - and Sunrise’s header never carries .mh. Added an explicit title-alignment override to all 3 theme files instead, matching the existing .slide .dt_title override already there.

• Sunrise/sunset widget: that theme override still had no visible effect, because .sunrise-header shrank to fit just the icon+title’s own width, leaving text-align nothing to push against. It’s now a flex row stretched to the tile’s full width, with the title given flex: 1 to actually fill the remaining space, so a right-aligned title now visibly sits at the tile’s right edge - icon-left/title-right, like every other block.

• Sunrise/sunset widget: added a Data toggle to its Widget Config (hides the sunrise/sunset time row while keeping icon/title, matching a device’s Data option) - the only catalog widget whose renderer actually reads it, so the button only appears there.

• Every catalog widget’s Config popup was missing the Background toggle (#170) that Device Config already had. js/components/button.js’s enhancePopups() matched #we-config-popup as a class selector (.we-config-popup) instead of the id it actually is, so the toggle never got injected into Widget Config at all.

• Moon, Weather/Wunderground and Spotify build their own markup instead of going through the standard rendering path, so their configured Icon/Title were silently dropped entirely - all three now paint them via the same .col-icon/.icon and .dt_title classes every other block uses, so a theme’s icon-size and title styling applies to them too.

• The OWM widget replaced its entire themed block - icon and title included - with its own embed on every update, instead of only updating its own content area.

• Graph’s header icon had a hardcoded pixel size, and Sonarr’s icon was missing the class its own icon column already required to be themed - both now follow a theme’s icon size. Each widget’s other custom styling (Graph’s icon color, Sonarr’s title position) is unchanged.

• The title-alignment fix earlier only covered Sunrise. Any widget rendered via the standard path (e.g. the 112/alarmmeldingen widget) never carries the class only real Domoticz devices get, so it still had no theme-driven title alignment. Replaced the Sunrise-only override with a plain title-alignment default in all 3 theme files, which existing more specific title overrides still take precedence over.

• Sunrise, Moon, Weather and Spotify only ever read a plain font icon, never a custom uploaded image - the Widget Editor’s Icon field can be switched to an image instead, so picking one rendered nothing. All four now support both.

• The real Weather widget’s icon and title were still invisible in practice, despite already being present in the markup: it scales its own tile’s font-size dynamically based on width for its internal forecast content, and the icon/title inherited that same font-size chain, so an early, still-zero-width layout pass could shrink both down to nothing. The OWM widget does the same internal scaling and had the identical risk. Both now pin their icon and title to a stable size, unaffected by that internal scaling.

• The actual reason the Weather widget’s icon and title never appeared: as soon as forecast data arrived, its own refresh logic replaced the entire widget - icon and title included - with just the forecast tiles. It now only replaces its own forecast content, leaving the icon and title in place.

• That fix left the Weather widget’s forecast days stacked on top of each other instead of side by side, since they’d relied on being a direct child of the widget’s own row layout to line up. They’re back in a row again.

v4.0.3 (4-9-2026)

• Fixes

• A viewport/orientation change could leave the active screen scrolled off-canvas to the side, with no way back short of a reload. startSwiper()’s Swiper instance positions slides purely via CSS transform, but some browsers (reproduced consistently in headless Chromium) could leave the .swiper container’s native scrollLeft stuck at a nonzero value after a resize landed mid-reflow. A window resize handler now forces it back to 0.

• Code

• Added a .githooks/pre-push hook that runs npm run format:check && npm test before every push. The existing pre-commit hook only checked formatting, so a broken test could still reach a push and only get caught by CI.

• Set expect.toHaveScreenshot.maxDiffPixelRatio to 0.02 in playwright.config.js so the visual-regression suite tolerates sub-percent rendering noise (anti-aliasing/font hinting) instead of failing pixel-exact snapshot diffs a human wouldn’t perceive as a real change.

• Root-caused the actual recurring CI flake: a chromium-only drag-and-drop assertion in tests/gridlayout.spec.js (“places blocks at explicit coordinates and stacks on mobile”) that turned out to be the scrollLeft bug above, not test flakiness - Playwright’s webkit job had passed in every failing run sampled, so the working assumption that webkit was the flaky browser job did not hold up. Verified with 14 repeated local runs of the previously-failing test (0 failures) plus a new source-shape regression test for the resize handler.

v4.0.2 (3-9-2026)

• Fixes

• Hardened Automation rule cleanup so a device’s saved rule source is only deleted when its last dashboard occurrence is actually removed, tracked via a new dashboardDeviceOccurrenceCount() across classic screens/columns, grid screens, responsive layouts and standby views.

• A sub-device’s bare base idx is no longer treated as its own removable Automation source, since it is ambiguous with the main device’s own source and deleting it on sub-device removal could have wiped the main device’s rule.

• Prevented update.sh/updatebeta.sh from appending config assignments onto a first-run #EMPTY# CONFIG.js placeholder, which would have made it invalid JavaScript and broken the setup wizard.

• Blocked dotfile exposure (e.g. .git, .env) through the Docker Nginx config, while still allowing ACME .well-known challenges.

• Code

• Enabled the CI workflow to also run on pushes to master, not just beta/develop/test.

v4.0.1 (3-9-2026)

Master version derived from beta 4.0.1. See below.

v4.0.1 (2-9-2026)

• Enhancements

• Major dependency refresh: updated every outdated package one at a time with full verification between each - webpack 5.110.3, css-loader 7.1.5, @types/node 26.4.1, webpack-cli 7.2.3, babel-loader 10.1.1, sass-loader 17.0.1, @babel/core 8.0.1, @babel/preset-env 8.0.2, @fortawesome/fontawesome-free 7.3.1, jquery 4.0.0, ical.js 2.2.1 and swiper 14.2.0. jquery-migrate 4.0.2, previously an unused devDependency, is now actually wired into the bundle as a runtime safety net for the jQuery 4 upgrade.

• Fixes

• Fixed loadConfig() crashing on every dashboard load under jQuery 4 (“Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘trim’)”) - jQuery 4’s script transport no longer hands dataFilter any response text, so CONFIG.js is now fetched as plain text and evaluated explicitly via $.globalEval.

• Fixed every jQuery UI widget (.slider/.draggable/ .sortable/…) silently failing under jQuery 4 (“$x.slider is not a function”) - jquery-ui-dist’s own nested jquery@3.x dependency was getting bundled as a second, isolated jQuery instance. A webpack resolve.alias now forces one canonical jQuery everywhere.

• Fixed an aria-hidden/focus violation on the blinds/dimmer slider’s tick scale (tabindex="-1" added to the tick buttons, which stay clickable but drop out of the tab order).

• Dropped the ios_saf 9 browserslist target (FontAwesome 7 ships woff2-only fonts, unsupported on iOS 9) and raised package.json’s engines.node to match the new devDependency floor.

• Resolved a high-severity fast-uri advisory (transitive build-time dependency) via npm audit fix.

• Code

• Replaced 15 deprecated .click()/.blur() jQuery event shorthand calls with .on() across js/switches.js, js/components/graph.js, js/dashticz.js, js/blocks.js and js/tempcontrol.js.

• Bumped dist/bundle.js’s cache-bust version so browsers that already loaded an earlier build actually fetch the updated bundle.

• Verified after every change with npm run format:check, the full node --test suite, and a production build from a clean npm ci, plus targeted live-browser verification (Playwright/Chromium) of the loadConfig and jQuery UI fixes, and end-to-end manual testing on a live Domoticz dashboard.

v3.45.14 (2-9-2026)

• Code

• Updated browserslist (4.28.5 to 4.28.8) and its transitive data packages (caniuse-lite, electron-to-chromium, node-releases, baseline-browser-mapping, update-browserslist-db) to their latest releases, matching the equivalent Dependabot proposal. Only package-lock.json changed; no direct dependency ranges in package.json were affected.

v3.45.13 (30-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Garbage widget: added row1_fontsize/row1_color and row2_fontsize/row2_color block parameters (also settable globally via CONFIG.js as garbage_row1_fontsize etc., and from the dashboard’s Settings menu) so the topmost (soonest) pickup line can get its own font size/color, independent of the per-garbage-type color from use_colors. The row-position style is applied after sorting on date, so row 1 always corresponds to the actual first rendered row rather than depending on a trashtoday/trashtomorrow date match, and its color takes precedence over the per-type color when set.

• Laid out the garbage widget’s Settings menu on/off switches (Hide icon, Icon colors, Text colors, Custom names, CORS Prefix) two per row instead of stacked full-width, via a new .settings-switch-grid CSS class applied by a dedicated renderGarbageWidgetSettings() that groups consecutive checkbox rows. Also shortened the CORS Prefix label across every language file by dropping its redundant “(Default is on)”-style parenthetical - already covered by its own help tooltip - so it fits the narrower half-width column.

• Fixes

• Fixed the Layout Editor showing a rendered repeatable Graph widget as a generic arrows-only drag control instead of the standard configuration cog. Render-time key-as-type hints are now accepted by both the Layout Editor and Device Editor Graph recognition, so clicking the cog opens that Graph widget’s configuration. The popup now also exposes the same dedicated Devices, graph type, Group by, legend and height controls as Widget Config, while advanced Graph options remain available under Custom fields.

• Code

• Exposed the same four fields in both the dashboard Settings menu (js/settings.js) and the Widget Config editor (js/widgeteditor.js). Verified with the full node –test suite.

• Added source and Playwright regressions covering the Graph widget’s configuration cog, its shared Graph controls and canonical save path.

v3.45.12 (29-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a dedicated --font-device-title option to the Theme settings menu, its custom.css save allowlist and the English/Dutch labels. Device titles can now be adjusted independently from both header/title-bar text (--font-large) and data/status text (--font-small).

• Fixes

• Fixed the legacy column layout becoming unstable when a device title wrapped under newer Chromium font metrics. The default and White layouts retain the classic 12px device-title size, while Modern Dark and both Liquid Glass themes retain their existing 18px appearance; no block dimensions, packing rules or device functionality changed.

• Code

• Restored all per-block Chromium visual regression screenshots. Each component screenshot now hides neighbouring blocks with visibility:hidden while preserving their float positions, so one overflowing neighbour cannot make unrelated component snapshots fail.

• Added explicit browser regressions for independent title/data sizing and overlapping legacy-column block rectangles, plus source tests for the new theme variable wiring. CI now also runs on direct pushes to beta.

v3.45.11 (28-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a third configurable font-size variable, --font-update, to the Theme settings menu’s Font size section, and relabeled the existing --font-small/--font-large fields to match their actual on-screen roles: Tekst Data (--font-small, a block’s title/state/value text), Tekst Titel (--font-large, a block’s own titlebar text via .blocktitle .dt_title/.miniclock), and the new Tekst Update (--font-update, a block’s last-update timestamp - css/creative.css’s .lastupdate rule, previously a hardcoded, unthemed 10px regardless of theme). --font-update is wired through the same generic CSS-variable settings panel, save endpoint (js/savecustomcss.php) and custom.css override mechanism the other Font size/Icon size fields already use - just added to the existing _THEME_FONT_VARS array and server-side allowlist, no new plumbing needed. Set new defaults on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes: Tekst Data 16px, Tekst Titel 18px, Tekst Update 12px (previously font-small/ font-large were 18px/24px, and last-update was fixed at 10px on every theme); the base/default theme is unchanged (font-small 12px, font-large 24px, and a new font-update default of 10px matching its previous .lastupdate size). Relaid the Theme settings panel’s Font size and Icon size sections as two side-by-side columns - fonts on the left, icons on the right - each stacked vertically in its own single-column grid, replacing the previous layout where each section’s fields were paired side by side in a 2-column grid (which stopped working cleanly once Font size grew to three fields). Also changed the Modern Dark theme’s --border-color-block from rgba(112, 160, 218, 0.2) to rgba(112, 160, 218, 0.3) for a more visible block border.

• Fixes

• Fixed the Device Config popup’s Automation (Device Rules) section being missing entirely for devices placed on grid layout screens whose CONFIG.js block key isn’t the Dashticz-auto-generated device_<idx> pattern - any block given a friendly/custom key, common on screens 2 and 3, is classified as specialType:'custom' purely by naming convention (_specialFromReference()), and the data-block-kind="special" tagging added to keep Automation off truly idx-less specials (Title, Separator, …) was keyed off that same blunt isSpecial flag, stripping Automation from these still-live devices too. js/deviceeditor.js’s popup root now computes hasLiveDevice the same way the existing idxLabel logic already does ((isCustom || isGroupBlock) && special.idx), so Automation now attaches wherever a real Domoticz device is behind the block, regardless of screen or block key naming, while staying correctly excluded for genuinely idx-less specials.

• Fixed the Theme settings menu’s Tekst Data field (--font-small) also resizing a block’s own title text (its device/row name, e.g. “Socket3”) as a side effect, with no way to size the two independently - .title, .state and .value all shared --font-small. .title (in css/creative.css and the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes) now uses --font-large like .blocktitle .dt_title/.miniclock already did, so Tekst Titel governs a block’s title text and Tekst Data is left controlling only .state/.value. Reordered the Theme settings menu’s Font size fields to Tekst Titel, Tekst Data, Tekst Update (previously Data, Titel, Update), and raised the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes’ Tekst Data (--font-small) default from 16px to 18px, now that it only affects .state/.value.

• Code

• Removed CHANGES.md, a hand-maintained changelog superseded by version.txt/docs/releasenotes/releasenotes.rst and stale by several versions (its newest entry was 3.43.0, several releases behind this one). tests/source.test.js’s calendar-editor- documentation test no longer reads it, keeping only its README.md assertions.

• Verified the Theme settings menu fix and reorder with the full node –test suite (201 tests) and Prettier’s format check.

• Routed every hardcoded bilingual (English/Dutch) UI string still living directly in JavaScript through the existing lang/*.json translation system instead, matching the established _translations() pattern (JSON is the source of truth per active locale, JS keeps only an English fallback-of-last-resort) already used elsewhere in the codebase. Fixed across every file found still bypassing it: js/devicerules.js’s Automation editor (55 label/help/validation strings, previously selected via a /^nl/i.test(window.config.language) check against two hand-written nl/en objects), js/customfieldpresets.js’s suggestion-menu labels/categories and all 46 presets’ descriptions/examples (previously an ad-hoc currentLanguage() heuristic plus inline preset.en/preset.nl/preset.nlExample fields), js/customfieldsetoptions.js’s menu labels and all 76 per-field suggested-value descriptions across 23 fields (previously inline entry[1]/entry[2] English/Dutch pairs and one un-namespaced ternary), and js/components/haymanclock.js’s day/hours/minutes/seconds fallback labels (previously a settings.language.indexOf('nl') check; the moment.js-locale primary source is unchanged). New settings.devicerules, settings.customfieldpresets, settings.customfieldsetoptions and settings.haymanclock namespaces were added to lang/en_US.json and lang/nl_NL.json - every other locale already picks up the English text automatically via loadLanguage()’s deep-merge-onto-English fallback. js/customfieldpresetbehavior.js’s search-matching, previously coupled to the old preset.en/preset.nl fields, now reads through two newly exported DashticzCustomFieldPresets.description()/example() helpers instead. css/creative.css and js/blocks.js were specifically audited and confirmed to already be free of hardcoded bilingual text.

• Verified with the full node –test suite (201 tests, including an updated Automation-on-custom-key source assertion and a jQuery $.extend mock addition to the existing devicerules.js vm test harness), Prettier’s format check, and a production build.

• Verified the Theme settings menu changes with the full node –test suite (201 tests), Prettier’s format check, and a production build.

v3.45.10 (27-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Standardized typography across every configuration/editor dialog (Settings, Device Config, Widget Config, Screen Editor popups, the Layout Editor’s floating toolbar, and every Add Device/Widget/Group/HTML/iFrame/Custom/Multi-device dialog), without touching css/creative.css or normal dashboard typography. Added css/config-typography.css - loaded by js/main.js immediately after creative.css so it wins the cascade on shared specificity - defining one font-family (system-ui, -apple-system, “Segoe UI”, Roboto, “Helvetica Neue”, Arial, sans-serif) and four explicit sizes via –dt-config-font-* CSS variables: 18px modal/panel titles, 14px section headings/body text/inputs/selects, 13px field labels/buttons, 12px help/metadata text - technical identifiers like IDX badges keep/gain a monospace face.

• Enhancements

• Added a small dot indicator in a device block’s bottom-left corner, shown whenever the block has at least one enabled Automation (Device Rules) rule configured for it. Opt out per block via automation_indicator: false; the indicator updates live on the next device update, no page reload needed.

• Extended the Device Config popup’s custom-field suggestion systems (field-name presets and value suggestions) to also cover the Widget Editor’s own custom fields, filtered to a block-type-agnostic preset subset (addClass, popup, url, newwindow, backgroundimage, backgroundsize, backgroundopacity) instead of every device-oriented preset (textOn, iconOn, batteryThreshold, …) that would never apply to a widget.

• Fixes

• Fixed the Automation (Device Rules) section attaching to the Device Config popup even when editing a special block (Title, Separator, Group, HTML Block, LMS, Custom Device, Multi Device, iFrame, Calendar, Public Transport, Timegraph, XMLTV Guide) - that popup is reused for both real Domoticz devices and re-editing already-placed specials, but Device Rules only recognized it by DOM shape, not block type, so a special whose only real control is an icon/image pulldown still got an unrelated Automation section, even though it has no live Status/nValue to trigger from.

• Fixed the icon/image pulldown (a <select>, not a free-text field) itself triggering a field-name suggestion menu, in both the Device Config and Widget Editor popups.

• Fixed several real sub-12px or inconsistent config-menu sizes: Bootstrap’s un-sized .form-control/.form-select (16px) and .form-text/.small (as low as 9-11px, inherited from the dashboard’s small global body font-size) are normalized within scope; creative.css config classes stuck at 11px (.de-device-type, .de-device-field label, .we-field-label, .dle-size-label, .dle-pending-badge) and the Settings modal’s 17px brand title, 13px section headings, 1.15rem (~18.4px) Update button and 12px field labels are corrected via narrowly-scoped overrides (creative.css itself is unedited); each widget-gallery card’s 18px/700 title (previously matching the popup’s own modal-title size) becomes 14px/600. A global select, select option { font-size: 16px !important; } dashboard rule and creative.css’s relative .btn { font-size: 120% } (which would otherwise inflate from ~13.2px to ~16.8px, along with every button’s 1em-sized footer icon, once these dialogs got their own explicit baseline) are overridden with matching !important/explicit rules scoped to config dialogs only. Six hardcoded 11px inline .form-text styles and one 13px/700 inline section heading in js/widgeteditor.js are corrected directly. Two vendored Spectrum colorpicker sizes (.sp-cancel 11px, .sp-dd 10px) in css/plugins.css are bumped to 12px.

• Code

• Verified with the full node –test suite (201 tests), Prettier’s format check, a production build, and live Playwright rendering (desktop and 390px-wide mobile viewports) of the Settings modal, Device Editor, Add Custom Device, Widget gallery, a Widget Config section, the Layout Editor toolbar, and the automation indicator’s present/absent/opted-out/live add-remove behavior, confirming every computed font-size/font-family matches the new scale with no visible config text below 12px.

v3.45.8 (26-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added repeatable iFrame, Calendar, Public transport, Timegraph and TV Guide (XMLTV) blocks (Screen Editor’s Widgets catalog, each card now behaving like LMS’s own): each can now be placed any number of times on a dashboard, with fully independent settings per instance - previously each was a singleton in the catalog (one fixed widget_* block, one shared config for every added instance), addressing issue #201’s request for per-instance widget settings similar to LMS.

• Added M3U/M3U8 playlist support to the StreamPlayer widget. A playlist placed at custom/radio_playlist.m3u (#EXTINF tags tvg-name/tvg-logo/tvg-id/group-title, followed by the stream URL) is loaded automatically when present and valid, with a station-selection popup grouped by group-title and sorted; the widget falls back to the existing configured track list when the file is missing, empty or invalid. When a station’s tvg-id matches a locally stored logo in img/custom/radio/, that local image is preferred over the playlist’s own remote tvg-logo URL.

• Added an optional CSS action to Device Rules Automation’s “Put text in another device” action, so a border/background/banner can be applied to the text action’s own target device, in sync with the same trigger - previously CSS could only target the current device. The new “Also apply CSS to target device” toggle (rule.actions.text.css in the schema) reuses the existing background/border/banner style controls, and only ever applies while the parent text action is itself enabled and targeted, so there is never a border with no active text rule behind it. The new class is generated and cleaned up through the same setRuleClassState()/cleanupSourceStates() machinery already used for the current-device CSS action, with its own managed class name (suffixed _text) so it can never collide with the current-device action’s class for the same rule. js/savedevicerules.php gained matching normalisation/validation and CSS generation for the nested action.

• Fixes

• Fixed the local-logo matching being completely inert as originally submitted: the widget called vendor/dashticz/streamplayer.php to resolve a station’s tvg-id to a local filename, but that endpoint didn’t exist, so the lookup always 404’d and silently fell back to no local logos at all. Added it, following the existing listcustomicons.php/listbackgrounds.php pattern (same-origin GET only, scandir()’d against a real path, image-extension allowlist, symlinks rejected).

• Async playlist/logo loading is now guarded by a per-instance generation token so a rerender never duplicates event handlers or leaves stale UI state behind.

• Fixed Automation trigger comparisons (greater than/less than/etc.) failing on Domoticz values that glue a unit straight onto the number with no space (e.g. a pressure sensor’s Data/sValue reading “1,8Bar”) or mix a thousands separator with a decimal comma (e.g. “1.020,5 hPa”). numericValue() (js/devicerules.js) now extracts the numeric run from the value first and, when both ‘.’ and ‘,’ appear, treats whichever comes last as the decimal separator, instead of naively replacing only the first comma - which previously truncated a value like “1.020,5” at the thousands separator.

• Fixed the Automation editor’s “Add CSS to current device” and “Put text in another device” checkboxes rendering as small native checkboxes instead of matching the size of the Condition/Style dropdowns and the popup’s own top-level Automation switch - both now use the existing .de-switch class (css/creative.css) already standard for every other Device Config switch, instead of a plain unstyled checkbox.

• Fixed a validation bug introduced by the new text-action CSS toggle above: normaliseRules() (and the matching PHP normaliser) only auto-generated a fallback CSS class name for a disabled action, so a rule saved before that action’s CSS toggle existed - or before it was ever turned on - rendered the “CSS class” field empty. Enabling the toggle and saving then failed with “Automation: gebruik een geldige CSS-class”, even though saving itself would have auto-filled a valid name. Both normalisers now always keep a valid class name pre-filled, matching how a brand-new rule already behaved.

• Code

• Every one of the five is implemented by extending the same managedSpecials mechanism already used for Group/HTML Block/LMS rather than the catalog’s singleton selectedWidgets/blockKey pattern, each with its own quick-add popup (js/deviceeditor.js). iFrame/Calendar/Public transport/TV Guide are recognized by their own component’s existing field-shape dispatch (frameurl/icalurl/station-or-tpc/xmltvurl, no explicit type, mirroring HTML Block’s htmlfile); Timegraph, whose component requires an explicit type:’timegraph’, is recognized and written the same way Group/LMS already are. Every existing singleton catalog widget is untouched and keeps working exactly as before - Calendar’s multi-source/color-picker config and TV Guide’s global settings[‘xmltv_*’] fallback remain available there. Also fixed the new iFrame popup’s two checkboxes rendering as plain unstyled Bootstrap checkboxes instead of the app’s standard 38x20px blue switch (.de-switch, already the documented standard class in css/creative.css for exactly this case) - every checkbox added across all five new popups uses it from the start. The Widgets catalog modal now visually separates the two kinds of card under their own heading - “Widgets (once per screen)” for the remaining singleton cards and “Widgets (multiple per screen)” for the six repeatable cards (iFrame/Calendar/Public transport/Timegraph/TV Guide/LMS) - instead of mixing both in one grid. Refactored the special-block kind lists that had grown into a hand-duplicated kind === 'x' || kind === 'y' || ... chain repeated at up to 10 call sites across js/deviceeditor.js, js/layouteditor.js and js/saveblocks.php into a small number of named, shared arrays declared once per file, each call site now doing a plain .indexOf(kind) > -1 membership check instead - a behavior- preserving refactor (every array’s contents were extracted 1:1 from the chain it replaces) fixing a recurring structural pain point: those duplicated chains, and the test assertions matching their exact literal multi-line text, were a frequent source of merge conflicts between feature branches touching nearby special-block code. A future repeatable special now touches one line per array instead of up to 10 separately-duplicated chains, and the corresponding test assertions were rewritten to check each array’s declaration/membership directly. Verified with the full node –test suite (183 tests, including source-shape assertions updated for each new kind) and Prettier’s format check; live browser verification of the Screen Editor flow was not possible in this environment (no Domoticz/Docker stack available).

• Fixed Prettier formatting mismatches in js/components/streamplayer.js and js/components/streamplayer.css (no functional change) that were failing CI’s format:check job on Node 20/22/24.

• Verified with the full node –test suite (184 tests, including a new php-security.test.js regression test for the new endpoint) and Prettier’s format check.

• The text action’s own CSS class is generated and cleaned up through the same setRuleClassState()/cleanupSourceStates() machinery already used for the current-device CSS action, extended to also track a second, independent {id, target, action} entry per rule instead of a new state system. Verified with the full node –test suite (192 tests, including new coverage for the text action’s own CSS applying/clearing with its trigger, for the PHP writer’s matching normalisation and CSS generation, and for a disabled action always normalising to a non-empty class name both client- and server-side) and Prettier’s format check.

v3.45.9 (27-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Extended the repeatable-widget mechanism (iFrame/Calendar/Public transport/Timegraph/TV Guide, addressing issue #201) to two more widgets: Camera (a single image URL, required, plus an optional MJPEG video URL per block; the existing singleton catalog widget’s richer multi-camera tray/carousel config stays available there unchanged) and News (a single RSS feed URL per block; the existing singleton catalog widget’s own global default_news_url/news_scroll_after settings stay available there unchanged).

• Simplified every repeatable widget’s quick-add popup (iFrame/ Calendar/Public transport/Timegraph/TV Guide/Camera/News): the reference/block name no longer needs to be typed and validated by hand. It’s now auto-generated (iframe_1, iframe_2, …) via a shared _nextSpecialReference() prefix table in js/deviceeditor.js, the same convention LMS’s popup already used - removing the manual name field, its uniqueness check, and the corresponding invalid-name translations from each popup.

• Code

• Camera is dispatched via an explicit type: 'camera' (like Group/LMS/Timegraph); News is dispatched via a truthy feed (like iFrame/Calendar/Public transport/TV Guide). Both are wired through js/deviceeditor.js (openCamera/openNews and their quick-add popups), js/layouteditor.js, js/widgeteditor.js, js/saveblocks.php and js/configwriter.php, following the same pattern as the other five repeatable widgets. Verified with the full node –test suite and Prettier’s format check; live browser verification of the Screen Editor flow was not possible in this environment (no Domoticz/Docker stack available).

v3.45.7 (25-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Reworked Device Rules Automation to a v2 schema that groups one trigger with two independent, simultaneously-selectable actions instead of a single mutually-exclusive action: CSS styling applied to the current device (as before), and a new “Set text” action that writes separate “text when true”/”text when false” values onto a different, selected target device’s title via Dashticz.setBlock. The normaliser still accepts previously saved flat action/target/className and action/target/textOn/textOff records, so existing automation keeps working unchanged.

• Added a new “Floating banner” styling option (alongside the existing background/border/text combinations), matching the hand-written custom.css pattern for full-screen alert banners - a visibility toggle plus a :before with static content, background, border, border-radius, centered fixed position and z-index. Per-rule fields are banner text (baked into the CSS content: value at save time, validated client- and server-side to reject quote/backslash characters since it’s written verbatim into a CSS string), distance from top in px (so multiple banners can stack without overlapping), and font size, with width left automatic so the banner fits any length of text.

• Text actions now write to a target device’s data/value field instead of its title, matching how the block itself renders device data. Disabled master rules no longer generate any CSS. When several devices’ text actions target the same device, each is tracked by its own source key/label/rule index instead of colliding, so they render as independent lines that stay correct regardless of processing order.

• Code

• Verified with the full node –test suite (173 tests) and Prettier’s format check.

• Fixed a Prettier formatting mismatch in css/creative.css and js/devicerules.js (no functional change) that was failing CI’s format:check job on Node 20/22/24.

v3.45.6 (24-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Extended #195’s icon-button conversion (previously Device Config only) to every other place Icon/Updated/Title/Data switches appeared: the Screen Editor’s five quick-add popups (Custom device, Multi Device, Group, HTML Block, LMS) and Widget Config’s own Icon/Title row. Both now use the same click-to-toggle icon-button look and behavior as Device Config’s row, instead of native checkboxes. button.js’s injected Background toggle matches whichever row it lands in.

• Extended #195 to the Slide button quick-add popup too - the one place it was still missing entirely. Icon was previously shown unconditionally with no toggle at all, and its “No background” checkbox was a lone switch with no Display options row around it. Both are now icon buttons in a proper Display options row, matching every other popup, positioned at the top of the popup body like every other popup’s row too (it had briefly landed after the Name/Key/Title/Screen fields instead).

• The Slider visual mode (next to Icon/Dial/Bar in Device Config) is now available for Dimmer devices too, not just Blinds Percentage - previously the button stayed disabled for a Dimmer and had no working renderer behind it even if forced (#197). It shows On/Off labels and no Stop button (a dimmer has no motor to stop), and its vertical slider runs bottom-to-top - 0% Off at the bottom, 100% On at the top - matching a physical dimmer/volume slider, unlike Blinds’ top-to-bottom Open/Closed convention.

• Fixes

• Fixed a block’s icon rendering visibly larger than every other block’s icon under the Modern Dark/Liquid Glass themes when the block has no refresh() of its own to later repaint it through iconORimage() (which always adds the icon class). getColIcon() (js/dashticz.js), the one-time initial-render path every block goes through, was missing that class - its own image branch right below it already had it - so a block that never gets repainted (for example an HTML block with a custom icon) permanently rendered at each theme’s unscoped default size instead of matching its .col-icon .icon size variable.

• Fixed the Screen Editor quick-add popups’ (Custom device, Multi Device, Group, HTML Block, LMS) Icon/Updated/Title row rendering centered instead of left-aligned like Device Config’s own row. Also left-aligned Device Config’s own Icon/Data/Updated/Title/ Background group specifically, so it now sits at the left edge with Dial/Bar/Slider pinned to the right, matching #195’s original mockup.

• Fixed “Display options” showing in English regardless of the active language, in Device Config and every quick-add popup - the translation key only ever existed for Widget Config’s own copy of this heading, never for Device Config’s. Added it to the three language files that already translate Widget Config’s copy (English, French, Dutch).

• Fixed the Bar visual mode showing “OPEN”/”DICHT” (Open/Closed) segment labels for Dimmer devices instead of On/Off - it worked correctly for sunscreens/blinds, but a Dimmer’s own SwitchType was never checked (#197).

• Fixed a Dimmer’s Slider up/down buttons still looking like Blinds’ matched pair of green move-actions, which doesn’t read as an On/Off toggle for a lamp. The down (Off) button is now colored red to contrast with the up (On) button’s green, like a switch’s own on/off colors (#197). Blinds’ own up/down buttons are unchanged.

• Fixed those same buttons still using chevron-up/chevron-down icons, which read as a physical move action rather than On/Off. A Dimmer’s Slider buttons now use toggle-on/toggle-off icons instead (#197); Blinds keep their chevrons unchanged.

• Code

• Removed the now fully unused .de-config-options switch-grid CSS (and its -three/-four/-five column-count modifiers) and the .we-block-option.form-check-input switch-sizing rule, since nothing renders that markup anymore; folded the surviving switches (#hb-device-border, .we-widget-field, #we-cfg-ascending, .de-switch, .de-lms-switch) into the shared blue-switch color rule on their own.

v3.45.5 (23-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• The Layout Editor’s per-tile - (remove) button now asks “Remove this tile from the layout?” before deleting a block or widget, for every block type and widget the button appears on. Uses the same window.confirm() pattern already used for screen deletion and Wizard grid conversion.

• Device Config’s Data/Updated/Title/No background switches are now icon buttons, matching the look of the existing Icon/Dial/Bar/Slider visual-mode picker (#195). Icon moved out of that mutually-exclusive Dial/Bar/Slider group into its own independent toggle: Icon, Data, Updated, Title and Background now sit together as one row of bordered icon buttons, beside the still mutually-exclusive Dial/Bar/ Slider group, both under the same Display options heading. Every device now gets an Icon toggle (previously only Group/HTML/LMS/ Separator blocks did, and dial-capable devices only got it as one of the exclusive modes), and toggling it no longer depends on which Dial/Bar/Slider mode, if any, is selected. Widget Config keeps its original switch-based layout, unchanged.

• Fixes

• Fixed the Sunrise/Sunset widget showing a real, clickable scrollbar instead of clipping its content on a grid row too short for its icon/title header plus the sunrise/sunset line. .sunriseholder only had min-height: 100% (a floor, not a ceiling), unlike every sibling grid-aware block (.frame, .waqi, .log, .basicclock, .stationclock, .flipclock, .haymanclock, .map, .trash), which already clamp to height: 100% plus overflow: hidden. It now gets the same treatment.

• Fixed the Layout Editor showing a Group block’s (js/components/group.js, type: 'group') settings control as a plain drag icon instead of the normal configuration cog, so its config popup never opened. _resolveBlock() only recognized separator/HTML/LMS/widget/idx-based-device blocks, so a group block (which has no numeric idx) fell through to the untyped grid fallback kind with no config affordance - the same fix shape as #168’s HTML block cog icon.

• Fixed a block’s configured custom icon (for example a Group block’s default fas fa-object-group) silently rendering as a blank or broken image instead of the icon, whenever the block’s image had also been reset to '' by getBlockConfig(). iconORimage() (js/blocks.js) checked typeof block['image'] !== 'undefined' rather than its truthiness, so the defined-but-empty '' image always won over a real configured icon, since it is checked after the icon check.

• Code

• Updated dayjs (1.11.21 to 1.11.23) and sass (1.101.0 to 1.103.1) to their latest patch releases, per the technical audit’s dependency-update recommendation. Verified with a clean npm ci, a production build (no new Sass deprecation warnings, entrypoint size unchanged within budget), the full node --test suite, Prettier’s format check, and the Playwright suite.

v3.45.4 (22-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a new Needle visual mode for Blinds Percentage/Blinds Inverted Percentage devices, selectable in the Device Config popup’s visual-mode selector alongside the existing Icon/Dial/Bar options (now Icon/Dial/Bar/Needle, block.needle in CONFIG.js). It renders as a continuous vertical slider - a title, a compact OPEN button above the slider, the slider itself (a wide track with a green gradient fill up to a small round handle, a clickable/typeable percentage readout beside it, and a clickable tick scale down its left edge), then DICHT (and STOP, unless hide_stop is set) below it - implemented as a new renderBlindsSliderBlock() in js/switches.js.

• This is purely additive: Icon mode’s own classic thin percentage bar (getBlindsBlock()’s withPercentage branch) is completely unchanged from its original implementation, and the separate Dial widget’s existing Dial/Bar modes (js/components/dial.js) are untouched.

• Needle’s scale tick count reads the same barsteps config field (default 10) the Bar dial subtype already exposes as its Steps field in the Device Config popup - that field is now shown for either mode. Clicking a tick, or the live percentage readout itself, jumps straight to that value (typing an exact number is also supported); dragging the handle works as expected.

• The block escapes the classic 85px default block height (the same way multi_line blocks like graphs already do) while still properly shrinking/growing with a grid screen’s own row-driven height, so resizing the tile in the Layout Editor works as expected.

• Handled Domoticz’s inverted blinds percentage scale (0% fully open instead of 100%) for Needle mode: auto-detected from the device’s SwitchType (the same “Inverted” check already used for the OPEN/DICHT command direction), so the green fill and the OPEN/DICHT command direction both flip together for those devices with no configuration needed. A new Inverse switch in the Device Config popup (shown only in Needle mode, pre-checked to match the auto-detected value) can override it for the rare device that doesn’t expose this correctly through Domoticz.

• Fixes

• OPEN/DICHT were unexpectedly taller than STOP because their chevron icon inherited the theme’s blanket .fas { font-size: 30px } rule (the codebase’s own .fa-small opt-out still resolves to 20px, itself too big here), overriding the button’s own 8px text size and dragging its height back up regardless of padding; fixed, and OPEN/DICHT now have an explicit height that’s exactly twice STOP’s, !important so the ratio holds regardless of any other rule’s specificity. STOP also gets a light red background/border to set it apart from OPEN/DICHT.

• Shrunk the slider handle further (20px to 16px) and made its width/height !important so it can never end up non-square. jQuery UI positions the handle by its bottom edge, not its center, while the tick labels and value bubble both center on their percentage via translateY(-50%) - so without correction the handle visually sat about half its own height too high, not matching the tick/bubble it was next to. Restored a negative margin-bottom sized to half the handle’s height so its center lands on the same percentage the ticks/bubble do (an earlier pass in this same release had zeroed this out, mistaking jQuery UI’s own equivalent default compensation - .ui-slider-vertical .ui-slider-handle’s margin-bottom: -.6em - for an unwanted quirk rather than the same fix, sized for the theme’s own default handle).

• Selecting Needle and saving didn’t actually switch to it: the classic bar kept showing instead, and the Needle button lost its highlighted state on reopening the Device Config popup. saveblocks.php/configwriter.php only recognize a fixed set of top-level device properties (unlike Dial/Bar’s existing type: 'dial'), so a plain needle: true on the saved entry was silently dropped - the same way Bar’s own subtype: 'bar' and barsteps already have to ride through custom_fields instead. needle now does the same, and the popup also hydrates options.needle from the live config when reopening.

• The slider is now correctly given jQuery UI’s orientation: 'vertical' and range: 'min' options, so the handle position, drag direction and gradient fill are all actually value-driven, rather than only looking that way via CSS - without orientation, the handle stayed visually static and dragging mapped vertical mouse movement almost randomly to a value; without range, jQuery UI never even created the .ui-slider-range element the gradient fill CSS targets.

• Clicking a scale tick or typing an exact value each used to send every command twice, or (when typing) re-open the edit input instead of committing cleanly - both were re-entrancy bugs where programmatically setting the slider’s value, or removing a focused input from the DOM, re-triggered the same handler a second time while the first call was still on the stack.

• The track, range and handle colors are now !important, so jQuery UI’s own bundled default theme CSS (which styles the same generic .ui-slider/.ui-widget-header classes, e.g. with blue) can no longer visually override them.

• Fixed the scale reading -1% for a fully-closed normal device and 101% for a fully-open inverted one. The slider’s min was hardcoded to 1 instead of 0, so the percent-space math behind the tick labels, the value bubble and the click-to-type input landed just past 0%/100% for a raw Level of 0. min is now 0, the device’s real Level range - the same range the Bar dial subtype (js/components/dial.js) already uses.

• Reverted an earlier misstep from this same release: the tick labels/bubble/typed value had briefly been made to flip their printed number for an inverted device (0% at the top, 100% at the bottom). The Bar dial subtype never does this - it always shows the device’s raw, unconverted Level regardless of an inverted SwitchType - and that plain behavior is what’s wanted here too. An inverted SwitchType now only changes which direction the OPEN/DICHT buttons move the blind, exactly as the classic bar has always treated it.

• Checking the Bar dial subtype’s actual template (tpl/dialbar.tpl) and CSS showed its segments are always laid out top-to-bottom as 0%, then increasing to 100% - a plain flex column with no reversal - for every device, not only inverted ones. Needle’s scale now matches that same fixed layout (0% at the top, 100% at the bottom), the opposite of a plain vertical slider’s own min-at-bottom/max-at-top convention. jQuery UI has no built-in option to flip a vertical slider, so every value handed to or read from the widget is now mirrored around the midpoint of its 0-100 range before reaching it and un-mirrored on the way back out, while every displayed number (tick labels, the value bubble, the click-to-type input) stays in plain raw-value space throughout - a tick’s printed label always matches the raw value it jumps to when clicked. The gradient fill direction (range: 'max' instead of 'min') was adjusted to match, keeping transparent-at-0%/filled-at-100% consistent with the new physical layout.

• Shrunk OPEN/DICHT’s chevron icon to half its previous size (9px to 4.5px).

• Found the actual cause behind two bugs that kept reappearing: the handle looking stuck near the middle of the track no matter the device’s value, and the chevron staying oversized despite the fix above. The Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes each carry their own theme-wide .fas.fa-chevron-up, .fas.fa-chevron-down { font-size: 40px !important; } and .ui-slider-handle { top: 50% !important; margin-top: -20px !important; width: 20px !important; height: 40px !important; border-radius: 14px !important; ... }, written for the horizontal dimmer slider’s own up/down buttons and handle. Needle’s chevron rule had no !important, so the theme’s won outright regardless of its higher selector specificity; Needle’s handle rule never touched top/margin-top at all, so the theme’s top: 50% applied uncontested - and once top, height and jQuery UI’s own dynamic bottom: value% are all specified on the same absolutely-positioned element, the box is over-constrained and bottom is dropped entirely in favor of top, pinning the handle to the track’s vertical center regardless of the actual value. Needle’s chevron rule now carries !important (its higher specificity then correctly wins the tie); its handle rule now resets top/margin-top to auto/0 with !important, handing vertical positioning back to jQuery UI’s own bottom entirely, and border-radius also gained !important so the theme can no longer square off the handle’s shape. Reproduced by loading a theme stylesheet alongside creative.css in a test render - something earlier verification in this release had not done - and confirmed fixed for all three themes.

• OPEN/DICHT’s chevron is now exactly as tall as its own surrounding text (font-size: inherit, instead of a hardcoded pixel value).

• Fixed the round slider handle visually poking out above/below the slider track’s own background at the 0%/100% extremes. The handle can overhang up to half its own height past the track’s logical 0%/100% edge - needed so its center still lands exactly on the value’s position, matching the ticks/bubble - but the track’s own visible background previously stopped exactly at that edge, cutting the handle off there. The track element’s own box (what jQuery UI and this file’s own tick/bubble math measure 0%-100% against) is now left completely alone and made transparent/borderless, with its actual visible background moved onto a ::before pseudo-element sized 8px (half the handle’s 16px) taller at both ends, so the handle now always renders fully inside the visible track.

• Adjusted OPEN/DICHT/STOP’s heights: STOP is 5px taller (20px to 25px) and OPEN/DICHT are 5px shorter (40px to 35px).

• The tick in the 0%-100% scale closest to the slider’s current value is now highlighted (the same green the value bubble used to use), so the current position stays visible in the list of percentages.

• Removed the value bubble entirely (and, with it, the click-to-type- an-exact-value input it offered), leaving the highlighted tick as the slider’s only on-track indicator of the current reading - also made that tick’s label bold, not just colored, so it still stands out on its own now that it’s the sole indicator.

• Doubled the slider track’s width (30px to 60px).

• Fixed the gradient fill leaving a visibly empty sliver at the top of the track’s background, and, symmetrically, the bottom, instead of reaching all the way to its edges. The track’s visible background is drawn 8px taller at each end than the coordinate box jQuery UI positions everything against, reserving room for the round handle’s own overhang there - but the gradient fill (.ui-slider-range) is a jQuery UI-managed element sized purely as a percentage of that unextended box, so it always stopped 8px short of the background’s actual top, and, for the same reason, never reached down to the handle’s own bottom edge at high values either. The fill’s anchored top edge is now shifted up 8px to match; its height is topped up by 16px on every value change so its bottom edge always reaches exactly to the handle’s own visible bottom edge, at every value - not only the 0%/100% extremes.

• Moved OPEN/STOP/DICHT off their own row above/below the slider and onto a column beside it instead - OPEN top, STOP middle, DICHT bottom, all within the slider’s own height (a plain flex column with justify-content: space-between, stretched to match the slider via the new row container’s align-items: stretch) - freeing up the vertical room they used to take for the slider and its percentage scale instead. The buttons are now small round icon-only buttons (OPEN/DICHT’s existing chevrons, plus a new fa-stop-circle icon for STOP, the same icon already used for a media player’s own Stop button elsewhere in this codebase) - their OPEN/DICHT/STOP text is gone from the visible button entirely, kept only as an aria-label for screen readers.

• Moved the button column closer to the slider (10px gap to 5px) and made the buttons themselves 2px bigger (30px to 32px).

• Shrunk each tick’s dash line by half (20px to 10px) and moved its percentage label in to match, keeping the same small gap between them instead of leaving a floating space where the dash used to reach.

• Moved the button column right up against the slider (5px gap to 1px).

• Gave DICHT the same green colors as OPEN, instead of its own plain grey.

• Fixed the percentage scale’s ticks (and the track itself) being able to render partly outside a narrower block, and the gap to the button column still looking large even at 1px. Both .slider-scale (the ticks) and .slider (the track) used to center themselves independently within .blinds-slider-wrap via position: absolute plus a fixed negative margin-left each - correct only for the exact wrap width those margins were tuned against, so a narrower block (or the track’s own width changing, see below) could push the ticks partly outside the visible block, and a wide wrap left a lot of empty, un-styled space between the visible track and the button column that the wrap’s own tiny gap never accounted for. Both are now plain flex children of .blinds-slider-wrap (now itself a flex row) instead, always staying inside it; justify-content: flex-end keeps the scale+track group hugging the button column with no leftover space in between, at any width. The track’s own width is no longer a fixed 60px either - it now flexes with how much room the block actually has, so a narrow block shrinks it instead of overflowing or clipping.

• Removed the track width’s own upper cap (previously 60px) - it had only ever shrunk along with a narrower block, not grown along with a wider one, since .slider-scale (the only other item sharing the row) never grows, so all of the wrap’s own extra width was going unused instead of into the track. A 30px floor is kept so it never disappears on a very narrow block.

• Nudged the button column’s gap to the slider from 1px to 3px.

• Made the percentage scale’s tick labels 2 sizes bigger, converting font-size from a relative 0.85em (9.35px computed, against an 11px inherited base) to a flat 11px.

• Renamed the Needle visual-mode button in the Device Config popup to Slider (lang/*.json’s dial_needle, and its mention in dial_barsteps_help) - the internal mode/property name (block.needle) is unchanged, only the label shown to the user.

• Fixed the Inverse switch (Device Config popup, Slider mode) rendering noticeably smaller than the Data/Update switches next to it - it fell outside .de-config-options, the container the Data/Update switches’ own bigger size (38x20px instead of Bootstrap’s default) is scoped to. Rather than adding yet another one-off selector to that already-long list (css/creative.css already lists five: .de-config-options, #hb-device-border, .we-widget-field, #we-cfg-ascending, .we-block-option, .de-lms-switch), added a new shared .de-switch class carrying the same size/color and applied it to the Inverse checkbox - any future standalone Device Config switch can just add this class instead of needing its own new CSS rule.

v3.45.3 (21-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• The Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes’ icon and image size (previously a hardcoded 35px) is now configurable from the settings menu, in a new Icon size section next to the existing Font size fields on the Theme tab, with separate Icon and Image fields. It’s backed by two new CSS variables - --icon-font-size (the FontAwesome icon column, .col-icon .icon) and --icon-image-size (actual <img> icons) - since a device’s custom image and a widget’s FontAwesome icon are unrelated and were previously forced to the same size. Both are wired into the same CSS-variable settings panel, save endpoint and custom.css override mechanism the Colors and Font size sections already use.

• The Font size and new Icon size fields now use a compact 2-column layout, matching the Colors section, instead of a full-width single-column row with the same 40-character-wide input as every other setting - far more than a short pixel value like 18 needs.

• The Font size and Icon size fields now take a bare number with a fixed “px” shown next to the field, instead of free text requiring e.g. 18px to be typed - these variables are always a pixel size, so there was never a reason to type or accept a unit.

• The Theme tab’s background-image preview swatch and the active custom stylesheet notice now sit beside their Choose background image / Path/URL fields instead of stacking underneath them. The notice was also sizing to its own content by default, wrapping its text across 4 short lines - it now has a 260px minimum width and grows to fill the row, wrapping across 2 lines instead.

• The free-positioned grid layout’s gridColumns (default 24) and rowHeight (default 20 px) can now be set dashboard-wide from Settings > Weergave (screen), instead of only per-screen in CONFIG.js. Any layout: 'grid' screen that doesn’t set its own gridColumns/rowHeight falls back to these settings before the hardcoded default, so leaving both untouched keeps every existing install’s grid screens exactly as they were. The Layout/Device/Widget editors’ save flows only pin an explicit gridColumns/rowHeight onto a screen when it actually diverges from this dashboard-wide default (a genuine per-screen customization) - a plain save otherwise keeps that screen following the setting, and it no longer gets frozen to whatever was in effect the first time the screen was ever saved. Changing the setting itself also clears any existing per-screen override for that same property on every screen at once, so an install with grid screens saved before this existed - which all had an explicit value pinned - isn’t stuck manually editing CONFIG.js to let the dashboard-wide setting reach them.

• Fixes

• Fixed CONFIG.js accumulating a growing run of blank lines between editor-managed sections (screens, grid layouts, widgets) every time one was resaved. configwriter_remove_section() spliced the raw text before the removed section straight onto the raw text after it, but both sides already carried their own leading blank line from configwriter_wrap_section() - since a section is always removed and re-appended on every save, each save stacked another blank line onto the same spot, compounding without bound. It now trims the whitespace on both sides of the cut and rejoins with exactly one blank line.

• Fixed settings saved from the Settings UI always jumping to the end of the config["key"] = value; block, scattering an edited setting away from the related settings it was originally grouped near. configwriter_upsert_root_config_settings() now updates an existing single-line setting in place; only genuinely new keys get appended.

• Centered a Selector Switch device’s option buttons (.btn-group.selector-buttons, e.g. Open/Half/Dicht) horizontally within its block on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes, instead of hugging the right edge - Bootstrap’s .btn-group is an inline-flex element, so it inherited its position from .mh’s text-align: right.

• Vertically centered a Selector Switch’s option buttons/dropdown below the title, and gave the SelectorStyle 1 dropdown (e.g. Husqvarna, Lyrion) the same full-width treatment the buttons already got - previously the plain <select> was sized to its own content and left, right-aligned like the buttons used to be.

• Moved that same Selector Switch buttons/dropdown 5px above dead-center, shrinking the gap to the title above by 5px (and growing the gap below by the same amount).

• Fixed unreadable white text on the Device Config popup’s Icon / Dial / Bar display-mode buttons when selected - Bootstrap’s default active-button text color assumes the usual solid dark background, but this component’s selected background is a light mint green instead. The selected button’s label now uses the same accent blue as its icon.

• Shifted a section title block’s (type: 'blocktitle', e.g. “Lichtschakelaars”) title text 10px to the right of its icon, on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes.

• Fixed editing a device’s config from inside the Layout Editor, clicking OK, then editing a different device and clicking OK, silently reverting the first device’s change - only the most-recently-edited device’s edit actually persisted. Each confirmed change there is saved immediately, resending every currently-placed device’s definition, but the in-memory device state was always rebuilt from blocks/ columns on every popup open - and those client-side globals are never patched after a save, only the server’s CONFIG.js is - so the second edit’s save resent the first device using its stale pre-edit data, reverting it server-side. Opening a device’s config from the Layout Editor now keeps already-known device/special state across repeated edits in the same session instead of re-deriving it from those stale globals.

• Fixed finger-swipe screen navigation silently doing nothing on narrow (phone-width) touch devices when Enable Swiper was set to 1. Per its own settings help text, 1 means “Enable on narrow screens”, but buildSwipingScrolling() tested the opposite condition and only ever started Swiper on wide screens - with Swiper never created, the non-swiper screen-switching fallback has no touch/gesture handling at all, so a swipe had nothing listening for it.

• Fixed touch-swipe screen navigation not working at all on at least one real Android tablet, even with Enable Swiper left on its default value. Swiper was loaded via a separate lazily-fetched chunk (window.loadSwiper()); on that tablet, fetching the chunk at runtime silently failed, so Swiper never initialized and no touch handler was ever listening for a swipe, while the screen-switcher buttons and mouse drag - which don’t depend on it - kept working. Swiper is now bundled directly into dist/bundle.js instead, with no separate runtime fetch to fail.

• Corrected the grid layout documentation (docs/screens.rst), which still listed rowHeight’s default as the old value of 40 and used it in both example snippets. The code’s actual default has been 20 for a while, with an existing migration shim that treats an explicit rowHeight: 40 on a screen as that legacy value and normalizes it to today’s real default - so the example was liable to silently produce blocks half the intended height if copied as-is.

• Removed

• The Media tile in the settings menu (switch_horizon, host_nzbget and hide_mediaplayer) - it saw little use as a dedicated settings category. The config keys it edited are still fully functional for anyone who sets them directly in CONFIG.js; only the settings-UI entry point was removed.

v3.45.2 (20-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a Full-width image toggle to the Add Button Wizard popup’s Icon/Image picker (shown once a custom image is picked). Previously the picker only ever saved a chosen image into the small, fixed-size icon field (.col-icon), with no way to reproduce a webcam/radar-style button that fills and scales with the block - reported as a missing btnimage parameter, distinct from image. Checking the toggle saves the same picked image as btnimage instead, Dashticz’s existing dedicated full-block-width image field, instead of leaving users with an oversized icon floating in an otherwise-empty block (#171).

• The Bar display mode’s number of segments is now configurable via a new barsteps block parameter (default 10, e.g. barsteps: 5 gives 5 segments of 20% each plus the 0% segment) instead of always being fixed. Choosing Bar in the Device Config popup’s Icon/Dial/Bar selector now reveals a Steps number field to set it directly, instead of having to add barsteps by hand via Custom fields. See Bar (Blinds Percentage).

• The selected option in the Device Config popup’s Icon/Dial/Bar selector now uses the same light-green “added” look as a selected widget card in the Add items gallery, instead of a plain grey/orange outline - with a blue icon rather than one matching the border color, so the icon stays the one visual cue that changes per mode at a glance.

• Device, Multi Device and Custom device icons are now the same 45px width as every other block type placed on screen (Widget, Separator, Slide button, Group), instead of rendering 5px narrower at 40px. Widget, Separator, Slide button and Group already built their wrapper with the dt_block class that the wider .dt_block .col-icon rule targets; plain devices and Multi/Custom device value rows now get that class too.

• Fixes

• Fixed thermostat (and other) dial widgets still rendering off-centre on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes. The earlier #177 fix only zeroed the padding on the dial’s wrapper (.transbg.dial), but the themes’ generic panel styling - padding, border, background and box-shadow, applied via a broad .transbg selector - still applied to it, and could still shift the dial’s square-face calculation off-centre. Dial components are now fully excluded from that themed panel styling (.transbg:not(.dial)), so they use the same plain, unthemed layout as the default theme, where the dial was already correctly centred (#177).

• Fixed a Full-width image (or any plain URL/popup) button always rendering with a permanent, bluish-tinted “active menu button” background, instead of matching every other block’s default background, even on the default theme. Every button created via the Add Button Wizard carries a slide property (so it’s still recognised as a button even without an image), which also always tagged it with the .slide/.slideN CSS classes js/main.js uses to highlight whichever button targets the currently active screen - so it permanently looked “selected”. Buttons whose real action is a URL/popup (newwindow set) no longer get those classes, since they never actually navigate via slide; genuine slide/menu buttons keep highlighting correctly (#171).

• Fixed the Bar subtype (#182) losing its themed panel background, border and shadow on Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey, instead of matching every other block like it should. The #177 fix above excluded every .dial element from that panel styling to fix the circular dial’s centering, but Bar is a vertical rectangle that never shared that centering problem - js/components/dial.js’s _dialFitSize() already measures Bar’s content box directly rather than the padding-sensitive outerWidth/outerHeight measurement the circular dial relies on. Bar now gets the same themed panel every other block has, targeted via the .dialbar class dial.js already adds to its parent element to tell it apart from the circular dial (#182).

• Fixed custom image icons (and inline icons like a thermostat dial’s value-row icon) rendering far too large on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes. Those themes’ blanket .icon { font-size: 40px !important; } rule matched any element carrying the generic icon class, not just the intended main device/widget icon column, so unrelated inline icons elsewhere in the UI were blown up too. Their .col-icon img, .icon img rule also capped custom image icons at 65px - more than double the 30px every other theme and block type uses - so a device’s image icon rendered visibly larger than a Separator’s or Widget’s icon using that same file. The font-size rule is now scoped to .col-icon .icon and the image cap is now 30px, matching the default theme and the themes’ own existing dimmer/blinds-slider carve-out.

• Unified image-icon sizing on the Modern Dark, Liquid Glass Blue and Liquid Glass Grey themes to 35px everywhere. The fix above still left two slightly different sizes in place - 30px for the general .col-icon/.icon image cap and the dimmer/blinds-slider carve-out, 34px for the Separator’s dedicated .titlegroups .col-icon img.icon and .blocktitle img rules - so a device’s image icon and a Separator’s image icon using the same file still rendered at two different sizes. All four rules now use 35px.

• Fixed screen navigation - both swiping and tapping a slide button - being unreliable on tablets while working fine on a PC. A touchscreen tap almost always drifts a few pixels, unlike a precise mouse click, and Swiper’s default threshold (5px) misreads that drift as an aborted swipe attempt; while a transition is still animating, Swiper’s default preventClicksPropagation then stops that tap from ever reaching the block’s click handler - invisible on desktop, where a mouse click rarely moves at all. js/main.js’s startSwiper() now raises threshold to 10 and sets preventClicksPropagation: false.

• Fixed js/loader.js’s loadScript() (used for js/main.js, js/functions.js and js/polyfills.js) serving a stale cached copy of those files after any same-day edit, with no visible sign anything was wrong. It busted the cache on the static _DASHTICZ_VERSION build number, which is only bumped on a real dist/bundle.js rebuild, so a device that had already loaded the dashboard earlier that day (e.g. a tablet left on) kept serving its old cached js/main.js indefinitely - silently missing fixes such as the Swiper tuning above. It now busts on a per-page-load timestamp instead, matching how the theme CSS already cache-busts; dist/bundle.js itself is intentionally left on _DASHTICZ_VERSION, since it’s only rebuilt on a real release.

• Code

• Updated 4 tests/source.test.js assertions left stale by the Bar subtype work (#182), which moved the Dial checkbox into a shared Icon/Dial/Bar visual-mode selector without updating the tests pinning its previous single-checkbox shape. No production code changed - the tests now assert deviceeditor.js’s actual current implementation instead of its old one.

• Updated 3 more tests/source.test.js assertions and 3 tests/php-security.test.js assertions left stale by earlier work on the LMS “Now Playing” block’s cover-artwork handling: a player-based artwork lookup and change-detection/retry state machine (js/components/lms.js), and a broader relative-artwork-path normalization on the backend (vendor/dashticz/lms/index.php). No production code changed - the tests now assert the actual current implementation instead of an earlier, simpler shape.

v3.45.1 (19-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added a Hide block when player is off switch to the Lyrion Music Server Wizard popup (both the quick-add and edit popups). Enabled, the block shows nothing at all - no icon, no cover art placeholder, no text - instead of the usual “Player off” message while the player is powered down, so it can be combined with a block’s own No background option to make it disappear entirely until the player turns back on. Only suppresses that specific “off” state; “Player unavailable” and “Nothing is playing” still show their own message as before. Sized and styled (via a new .de-lms-switch class) to match the other Wizard switches rather than falling back to a smaller, unstyled default.

• Added a new Dial subtype: 'bar' for Blinds Percentage / Blinds Inverted Percentage devices: renders them as a vertical 10-segment bar (0% at the bottom, 100% at the top) instead of the draggable dial. Tapping a segment sets the device directly to that segment’s 10% level; segments up to the current level are shown in green, the rest in grey. The bar scales with its block’s size, both height and width, and its title uses the same styling as every other device/widget title instead of a bar-specific size and color. A Bar switch in the Device Config popup (shown once Dial is enabled on a qualifying device) turns it on/off directly, instead of having to set subtype by hand via Custom fields. Ignored for any other dial-rendered device (Dimmers, plain Blinds without a percentage, Thermostats, …). See Bar (Blinds Percentage).

• Fixes

• Fixed the No background checkbox in Device Config and Widget Config rendering smaller than, and separately positioned above, the other Display options switches (Icon/Data/Title) - it was injected as its own row outside the switch group and so fell back to Bootstrap’s default switch styling instead of the project’s larger, blue-styled switches. It now sits inside the same switch row as Icon/Data/Title and matches their size, color and spacing exactly.

• Fixed that same switch then landing alone on its own row below the others (Icon/Data/Updated/Dial/Title, or Icon/Updated/Title) once it matched their size - the row used a fixed 3/5-column grid sized for the original switches only, so the extra one always overflowed onto a row by itself. The row now always auto-fits exactly as many equal columns as there are visible switches on a single row, including when the Dial checkbox hides/shows Icon and Title.

• Fixed enabling No background leaving a soft colored glow behind the block on the Liquid Glass Blue/Grey themes instead of true transparency - those themes’ backdrop-filter blur/saturate effect on every block was left untouched, so it kept sampling and intensifying whatever sits behind the now-transparent block. The backdrop-filter is now cleared along with the background (#170).

• Code

• Updated two tests/source.test.js assertions that had gone stale after an earlier, unrelated basicclock.js v4 sizing fix (#175): they still pinned its previous $block-scaling/titleHeight``+``stateMarginV approach, which that fix had already replaced with scaling $state only and a getBoundingClientRect()-based measurement. No production code changed - the tests now assert basicclock.js’s actual current behavior instead of its old one.

v3.45.0 (19-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Every Screen Editor quick-add popup (Custom device, Multi Device, Group, HTML Block, Slide button) now renders its Icon field with the same Icon/Image row Device Config and Widget Config already use, instead of a plain text input: a source dropdown to switch between a Font Awesome class and a custom image, and - once Image is selected - the same picker grid of files from img/custom/. Multi Device and Slide button previously had no way to point at a custom image at all; picking one through Custom device, Group or HTML Block’s old plain icon field would have silently saved the path as an icon value instead of an image one.

• Added the same Display options heading above the Icon/Update/Title checkboxes that Widget Config already has, on both every quick-add popup and Device Config, so the three popup families read as one consistent design instead of two of them being unlabelled.

• The Device Config popup title now shows the device’s IDX in brackets after its name (e.g. Device Config — Power [43]), covering plain devices, sub-devices, Domoticz groups/scenes and Custom/Multi/Group specials, so a device stays identifiable even when several rows share the same (possibly hand-edited) title. Specials with no IDX of their own (Separator, HTML Block, Slide button) omit the bracket.

• Fixes

• Fixed a Separator/title block configured with a custom image also rendering its old default divide icon next to it - the block-saving code fell back to a default icon whenever the Icon option was on, even when the user had switched to Image and had no icon value to fall back from. The renderer draws an icon and an image side by side rather than one replacing the other, so both showed up together.

• Right-aligned Slide button titles, in the Modern Dark and both Liquid Glass themes, so they read away from the button’s icon/image instead of butting up against it. Also fixed a Slide button’s custom image rendering smaller than every other device’s image in these themes: an earlier size exception, meant to stop it overlapping the title, capped it well below the generic size regular device tiles use - now it matches other devices’ image size, same as before that exception was added.

• Fixed the Layout Editor showing an HTML block’s settings control as a generic drag icon instead of the normal configuration cog, so it could not be told apart from a plain move handle and never opened that block’s own configuration - the Layout Editor never recognised HTML blocks as a configurable kind in the first place. Clicking the cog now opens that exact block’s Device Config, same as any other special block, and works the same whether the block came from the Wizard or a hand-written CONFIG.js (#168).

• Fixed a Separator/title block with no icon property at all - as in a hand-written or pre-Wizard CONFIG.js - rendering the runtime’s default divide icon instead of no icon. Wizard already writes an explicit empty icon: '' when its Icon option is turned off, and that already rendered correctly; the missing-property case now behaves the same way instead of silently falling back to a default. An explicitly configured icon is unaffected and keeps rendering as before (#169).

v3.44.3 (18-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• The Layout Editor now stays open when switching between screens (the topbar’s S/1/2/… buttons keep working while it is open). Previously the editor stayed bound to whichever screen was active when it was opened, so switching screens left the newly visible screen without any editing overlay underneath the still-open toolbar. Each screen now gets its own in-memory editing session, collected the first time it is visited; switching back to an already-visited screen restores its session so edits made on one screen never bleed into another, and Save persists every screen actually edited in that round - not just the one on display when Save was pressed.

• Adding a device, widget or separator from the topbar’s “Add items” menu while the Layout Editor is open no longer closes the editor and reloads immediately, silently dropping whatever was still pending there (a removed tile, a resize, a move). The new tile is added as a pending, not-yet-saved placeholder - still fully draggable/resizable/removable - and only the Layout Editor’s own Save button persists it, together with everything else pending; Cancel discards it. Custom device, Multi Device, Group, HTML Block and Slide button - kinds the Layout Editor can’t yet represent as an editable tile - keep the previous save-and-reload behavior.

• Fixes

• Fixed a “Grid block is not declared and cannot be created” error when saving a newly added device, widget or separator on a grid screen: its save now declares the new block in the same request instead of only sending a grid position for something the config didn’t know yet.

v3.44.2 (17-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the Layout Editor’s per-tile gear icon: configuring a device or separator directly from the grid (not via the add-item tile menu) built and silently surfaced the full Device Editor once its Device Config popup closed, instead of returning to the grid the user was actually editing - closing that unexpected Device Editor then exited the whole editing session. The gear icon’s popup now saves the confirmed change by itself (saveblocks.php with blocksOnly) and simply closes, leaving the Layout Editor open and untouched underneath the whole time, the same way a widget tile’s gear icon already worked.

v3.44.1 (17-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• The Icon/Update/Title checkbox row on every Screen Editor quick-add popup (Custom device, Multi Device, Group, HTML Block) now sits at the top, right below the header, matching where the equivalent Icon/Data/Update/ Dial/Title row already sits on the Device Config popup for an already-placed block. Custom device’s popup also gained this row for the first time - Icon and Title were previously only settable as generic, easy-to-miss Field/Setting rows, and there was no way to hide the title at creation time at all.

• Every popup reachable from the Screen Editor’s add-item tile menu (Custom device, Multi Device, Group, HTML Block, Slide button, Add device, and Widgets) now has a Back button to the left of Cancel/Close, matching the height of the buttons next to it, that returns to the tile menu instead of just closing.

• The wand/Screen Editor topbar icon has no function once the Screen Editor is already active (clicking it again does nothing); it’s now hidden in favor of the + add-item icon in that same topbar slot while editing, and swaps back once editing closes.

v3.44.0 (17-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added Group and HTML Block to the Screen Editor’s add-item menu, built the same way as Multi Device: a dedicated popup for creating one, and afterwards a regular, fully configurable entry in the Device Editor list (draggable, resizable, removable, with its own Device Config gear icon). Group wraps js/components/group.js (a client-side group/scene aggregate with instant status updates and a longpress popup - not the plain Domoticz Group/Scene device already offered by Add device); HTML Block wraps js/components/html.js (a static custom/*.html snippet). Neither offers a Dial option, since it doesn’t apply to either block type.

• Multi Device’s own popup, and the new Group/HTML Block popups, now expose Icon, Update and Title checkboxes directly in their own top section - matching the Icon/Data/Update/Dial/Title options every already-placed block gets from Device Config - instead of Multi Device silently hard coding a fixed icon and title visibility with no way to change either before saving.

v3.43.5 (16-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the Hayman clock rendering disproportionately large compared to the other three clock types: its face is mostly whitespace around a thin digit/label glyph, so fitting it to the full available block space the same way looked oversized. Its computed size is now halved on top of the usual fit-to-block/Scale calculation.

• Fixed the : separator dots sitting too high above the digits: they were vertically centered on the whole column (digit + label underneath), which pulls the center down away from the digit itself. Repositioned lower to align with the digit.

v3.43.4 (16-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the Flip clock leaving a lot of empty space below the digits: it was sized to fit inside a square (min(availW, availH)), badly under-using the available width for a clock face that is much wider than it is tall. Its size is now computed analytically from flipclock.css’s own fixed per-em multipliers, filling the block correctly.

• Fixed the Flip clock overflowing past its block’s right edge: the block’s own width also included the fixed-width icon column next to the clock, which is now excluded from the available-width calculation.

• Fixed the Hayman clock’s : separator dots being inconsistently positioned between columns (most noticeable next to the wider day-label column): they were positioned as a percentage of each column’s own (variable) width, and are now positioned in em instead, consistent regardless of a column’s width.

• Fixed the Miniclock’s text (weekday/date/time) never getting bigger or smaller when its block is resized - it now fits and live-resizes the same way the four dedicated clock widgets do, including overriding the theme’s !important font-size/height rules. The fixed-height topbar Miniclock is unaffected.

v3.43.3 (16-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the Basic clock leaving large unused margins on a wide/short block: it was sized to fit inside a square (min(availW, availH)), instead of actually measuring the rendered text and filling both the width and height of the block.

• All four clock types (Basic, Station, Flip, Hayman) now keep resizing live while dragging a block in the Grid Layout Editor, instead of only picking up the new size after a save/reload - the same ResizeObserver-based approach already used by the Dial widget.

• Fixed a runaway grow-remeasure-grow loop specific to grid screens: the clock components measured .dt_block’s own box, which a grid item’s automatic minimum size can inflate past its actual grid row (its height: 100% only looks fixed); each resize picked up that inflated height and grew it further. They now measure the outer, CSS-Grid-fixed mount point instead, same as Dial’s _dialFitSize().

• Fixed the Flip clock not resizing at all when its block changed size.

• Fixed the Hayman clock rendering with an oversized, overlapping face (digits touching, the ‘:’ separators hidden behind them) instead of scaling with the block.

v3.43.2 (16-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• The Clock widget’s Size (px) field has been removed; Scale is now the only sizing control. All four clock types (Basic, Station, Flip, Hayman) always fit their block automatically, and Scale is a relative factor on top of that (still capped to the available block space).

• Basic clock’s 42px font-size cap, Flip clock’s 3.5-7em size range, and Hayman clock’s scale-only (max 100%) container width are removed, so all four clock types now scale proportionally with their block instead of plateauing well before the block is filled.

• The Widget Config Clock type dropdown now shows a small preview image of the selected clock style.

• Fixes

• Hayman clock’s visible width now follows the same computed size as its font, instead of only reacting to Scale (and never past 100%) while Size had no effect on the visible clock at all.

v3.43.1 (16-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Changed the Separator/title block’s default icon (blocktitle’s defaultCfg.icon, the Device Editor’s SEPARATOR_DEFAULT_ICON, and its editor-list icon) and the Screen Editor add-menu’s Separator tile icon from fa-heading to fa-divide.

v3.43.0 (16-8-2026)

• Improvements

• Cleaned up Widget Config and Global Settings by removing duplicate, unused and misleading controls while keeping legacy configuration keys compatible.

• Improved compact grid layouts with two-row Separators, consistently sized configuration controls and a Garbage widget without an unnecessary scrollbar.

• Fixes

• Fixed Dial configuration state and resizing behavior.

• Separator icons now have a visible default and remain hidden after the Icon option is unchecked and saved.

v3.42.10 (15-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Restored full-size Dials in classic Bootstrap column layouts. Their content-driven, pre-render height is no longer treated as a fixed size; grid Dials still respect both dimensions of their assigned cell and now follow live Wizard/Layout Editor resizing in both directions.

• Device Config no longer shows the ineffective Icon and Title checkboxes for Dials. Existing values remain preserved when changing the device type.

• Existing iframe and Sunrise/Sunset blocks without an icon property keep their historic iconless appearance. Newly added Editor widgets retain the newer default icons by saving those icons explicitly in CONFIG.js.

• Explicit custom/default icons remain supported for both widgets.

• Code

• Added Chromium regressions covering legacy column sizing/icon behavior and fixed grid-cell sizing with explicit icons.

v3.42.9 (15-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Domoticz log messages are now escaped before they are rendered, preventing device, plugin or script log text from being interpreted as dashboard HTML.

• The Domoticz log widget now keeps one namespaced set of scroll listeners instead of adding another pair on every refresh.

• Fixed Group blocks using switchMode: 'toggleoff' sending an undefined command instead of an explicit On or Off command.

• Code

• Updated the Playwright, Prettier and Webpack patch/minor versions and patched the indirect fast-uri, nanoid and postcss build dependencies. The npm security audit now reports no vulnerabilities.

• Removed unused @babel/node and style-loader build dependencies, and moved the optional jQuery migration diagnostics package to development-only dependencies.

• Webpack now removes stale generated chunks from dist before producing a new build, while retaining legacy font formats for custom CSS compatibility. Removed the obsolete unreferenced dist/475.js chunk and duplicate legacy packagelock.json file.

v3.42.8 (14-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the Settings popup’s Save button silently sending an empty payload to the server, so changing the theme (or any other setting) had no effect and the dashboard reverted to whatever was previously saved after the reload. A merge conflict resolution between two versions of saveSettings() left the code collecting changed values into a savePayload object, but still writing them onto the unrelated saveSettings function object instead — so the actual AJAX request body stayed {}. All collected values (theme, CSS variable overrides, language, config_mode, and every other setting) are now written to and read from the same object that is actually submitted.

v3.42.7 (14-8-2026)

• Fixes

• The web UI’s Update button now recognizes Git’s “insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects” / “failed to write object” errors (seen when .git/objects is owned by a different user than the web-server process, e.g. after a manual git run as root) and shows the same concrete chown/permission-fix hint as the existing “permission denied” and “dubious ownership” cases, instead of just the raw Git error.

v3.42.6 (14-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added the Liquid Glass Grey and Liquid Glass Blue themes. Both are based on Modern Dark and keep its block rounding, spacing and block heights unchanged, but restyle blocks as frosted, translucent “liquid glass” panels — blurred backgrounds with a soft top sheen — in a neutral graphite/silver palette (Grey) and a deep navy/blue palette (Blue). Enable either with config['theme'] = 'liquid-glass-grey'; or config['theme'] = 'liquid-glass-blue';.

v3.42.5 (14-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the News widget never showing an icon even with the Widget Editor’s Icon checkbox on. Checking Icon without typing a custom value relies on the widget’s own default icon (the same pattern Weather already uses), but News had none to fall back to. Added a default news icon.

• Fixed the Sunrise/Sunset widget never showing an icon or a title. Unlike every other block, this widget builds its own markup instead of going through the shared container/icon/title rendering, so the Icon and Title options in its Widget Config popup were saved correctly but never actually painted onto the block. It now reads and renders them, using its own default icon (it had none to fall back to, unlike News/Weather) and a small, compact icon+title header row sitting above the sunrise/sunset line - like every other device/widget - instead of the oversized, full-width title style a large widget header uses. On grid screens that header and the sunrise/sunset line previously also got flexed onto a single, cramped row instead of stacking properly; both rows now stack vertically there too, matching column/classic mode. The header also sits flush at the top-left of the block now, matching every other device and widget, instead of being centered with empty space above it - but only when a header actually renders: with Icon and Title both off, the sunrise/sunset line is the block’s only content again and correctly stays vertically centered on a grid screen, instead of also being pinned to the top.

• Fixed Multi Device and Custom Device creation silently defaulting the “Updated” (last update timestamp) option off, with no checkbox in either creation popup to turn it on — the only way to enable it was to create the device first, then separately reopen its Device Config popup. Both creation popups now show an Updated checkbox, checked by default.

• Fixed Custom Device and Multi Device’s Icon checkbox not actually turning the icon off: unchecking it and saving left the icon showing (falling back to the underlying Domoticz device type’s own default icon) and reopening Device Config showed the checkbox checked again. The Device Editor always writes a full replacement of the block, and the checkbox being off correctly sent an empty icon value, but the config writer skipped writing it whenever it was empty specifically for this block kind - so the property ended up simply absent instead of explicitly cleared, which read back as “never configured” rather than “off”.

v3.42.4 (14-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed multi-camera blocks rendering invisible (0-height) thumbnails on grid screens (#132). Each camera in the cameras array is mounted in its own wrapper element alongside its siblings, one level deeper than the grid CSS’s normal min-height/width rules reach (those only match a block’s direct wrapper). Since each camera’s own thumbnail image is absolutely positioned, its wrapper collapsed to zero height and the images never rendered. The per-camera wrappers on a grid screen now lay out side by side and fill the block’s full height again, matching column/classic mode.

• Fixed the Device Editor’s Dial checkbox producing a plain on/off switch instead of a gauge when applied to one value of a multi-value Domoticz device, e.g. a combined Temp + Humidity sensor (#118 follow-up). Add Device offers such sensors as separate per-value rows (idx 12_1, 12_2, …) so classic gauge/switch blocks can bind to a single value, but the Dial widget reads the whole Domoticz device to detect its type and couldn’t resolve a sub-value idx to any device. Checking Dial on one of these rows now saves the device’s base idx instead, so the dial correctly detects the combined sensor type and renders a gauge.

v3.42.3 (13-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed a once-set iframe (or camera/log/timegraph) height on a grid screen being impossible to remove again via Device Editor (#100 follow-up). An earlier fix in 3.42.1 stopped Widget Editor from resending a stale cached height, but Device Editor had its own separate copy of the same caching bug: it hydrated a widget’s stored height from CONFIG.js unconditionally and resent it on every Device Editor save — including a save that only touched a completely different device — silently reinstating a height the user had already cleared via the widget’s own field. Grid mode now only keeps a height a widget’s own field explicitly (re)sets on that save; column mode is unaffected.

v3.42.2 (13-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Fixed the Domoticz log widget triggering a spurious outer scrollbar on grid screens, even when the tile visually had enough room (#105). .log .items already scrolls internally on purpose once there are more log lines than fit, but the outer .dt_block was only floored by the generic grid min-height: 100% rule, not capped — so a fraction of extra height from title/content rounding let it grow past its own grid row, and the grid item’s own overflow: auto then added a second, unwanted scrollbar around the whole tile. Capped the log widget’s block to its row height, matching the same fix already applied to the iFrame/WAQI/clock widgets.

v3.42.0 (12-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Device Editor: the Device Config popup now has a Dial checkbox next to Icon/Data/Updated, writing type: 'dial' to CONFIG.js so the block renders using the dial block instead of the default one. Applies to plain devices, Domoticz groups/scenes, dummy blocks and Custom devices — all of which share this same popup. type itself stays a rejected/reserved name in the Custom fields section; the checkbox is the only way to set it. Dial-specific parameters (color, min, max, subtype, values, etc.) remain configurable via Custom fields.

• Checking the Dial checkbox now shows an inline hint explaining that the remaining dial options are set manually via Custom fields, with a link to the dial documentation.

• Documented the dial block’s previously-undocumented scale parameter (a multiplier on the dial’s automatically measured/configured size) as the supported way to manually fine-tune a dial that still renders too large/small for its block. It isn’t a reserved Custom field name, so it already works via the Device Editor’s Custom fields with no code change.

• Fixes

• Dial blocks could render far larger than their block (up to a hardcoded 240px font-size) whenever the automatic size measurement failed — for example on a block sitting on a screen that isn’t the active tab at mount time, where the container is display:none and has zero measured width. The dead height < 0 guard in js/components/dial.js never actually caught this (a failed measurement yields NaN/0, never a negative number), so fontsize became NaN, the resulting inline style was invalid and got dropped, and the oversized CSS default won. The guard now correctly detects a failed measurement and falls back to a sane default (also lowered the CSS backstop default from 240px to 100px).

• The dial’s default face/content area (.dial-container/.dial-center) left a visibly roomy margin before the outer ring. Tightened from 90%/85% to 93%/88% — still comfortably inside the 95% already used for fixed dials, so the ring, needle and numbers keep their existing clearance.

• Dial sizing now measures its actual rendered block (both width and height, using the smaller of the two — the dial is always a perfect circle) via a live ResizeObserver, instead of only re-measuring width at mount time. Resizing a dial’s block in the editor (grid row/column span or classic column width) now updates the dial live, matching what you see right after saving instead of only after a reload.

• Fixed two further sources of scrollbars around a dial block on grid screens (.dt-grid-item scrolls on overflow):

  • getContainer() gives a block’s outer wrapper the component name as a CSS class too, which for the dial component is literally dial — so the live-resize code’s .dial selector also matched that outer wrapper (not just the template’s own inner circle) and inflated its (and everything em-sized inside it) font-size, overflowing the block sideways. Scoped to .dt_content .dial, matching the dial’s own CSS.

  • The colored ring/slice indicator is rotated (transform: rotate(-140deg)), so its axis-aligned bounding box is wider/taller than its own size; the old clip: rect() used to shape it into a pie-slice only clips painting, not layout, so the full rotated box still counted toward the scrollable area of every ancestor. Wrapped in a new .dial-ring-clip container (not .dial itself, which would also clip the dial’s own intentional glow/flash effect).

  • The needle (drawn via a CSS border-triangle, deliberately a little longer than .dial’s own radius so its tip reaches the ring) was never clipped by anything either, contributing a small but constant overflow regardless of the needle’s rotation angle/device value — confirmed with a dimmer dial swept across its full 0–100% range. Wrapped in a new .dial-needle-clip container.

v3.41.7 (12-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Screen Editor: the config-cog for a widget that also carries its own idx (TimeGraph, whose catalog entry uses idx as the fallback device for value rows without one) opened that idx’s plain Device Config popup instead of the widget’s own Widget Config. _resolveBlock now checks whether a block is a recognised widget before falling through to its idx-based device-detection fallback.

• Multi Device and Custom Device now get a sensible default icon (matching their own popup’s header icon) when the user doesn’t type one in — previously the saved block carried no icon field at all, and since these devices aren’t a real, recognised Domoticz device type there was nothing else to derive an icon from, so the tile rendered with none.

v3.41.6 (11-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Domoticz log widget: the Widget Config editor’s grid-mode default size used to scale proportionally from the widget’s column-mode width (12, i.e. full width), producing a short full-width strip. It now defaults to an 8x8 grid cell (in grid columns/rows) instead, independent of the column-mode default the widget still uses outside grid screens.

v3.41.5 (11-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Device Editor: the Device Config popup now has a Title checkbox next to Icon/Data/Updated, toggling hide_title the same way the Widget Config editor’s Title checkbox already does. Title text remains a typed Field/Setting; this only controls whether it’s shown. Applies to plain devices, the separator/title bar block (Tussenbalk), Slide button, Multi Device, and Custom device — all of which share this same popup.

v3.41.4 (11-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Clock widgets (Basic clock, Flip clock, Station clock, Hayman clock) ignored the Widget Config editor’s Title checkbox (and a hand-written hide_title/title in CONFIG.js): each clock’s own render overwrote .dt_content/.dt_block, which also holds the .dt_title element that dashticz.js builds from block.title/block.hide_title, wiping it out again right after it was set. The clocks now render into .dt_state instead, leaving the title alone.

v3.41.3 (11-8-2026)

• Code

• Fixed a stale $forceClone regex assertion in tests/php-security.test.js (still expected the pre-issue-#98 shape of that check).

• Removed tests/phpsecurity.test.js, a stale duplicate of tests/php-security.test.js that had drifted out of sync with it.

v3.41.2 (11-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Radio Widget Config: each station row now only has a Remove button. A single Add station button is shown once, next to the Display options checkboxes, with the station list between the checkboxes and the Custom fields section.

• Grid layout: lowered the minimum block height from 4 rows to 2 (already proven safe for the Miniclock widget). A block whose content needs more room than that simply gets its own internal scrollbar.

• Fixes

• Sunrise/Sunset: resizing the widget’s height in a grid layout no longer reverts to a small block. renderSunrise builds its own markup, which did not receive the existing rule that lets other blocks fill their reserved grid cell; only the visible content was affected, the stored size was never actually lost.

v3.41.1 (11-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Added four existing Dashticz Special Widgets to the graphical Widget Config editor as a configuration/management layer on top of their existing implementations — none of them were rewritten:

  • Domoticz log (Domoticz log): Title, Width, optional Height, optional Aspect ratio, Scroll timeout, and a checkbox for ascending (“newest log lines at the bottom”). Written to blocks['log'], so columns[4] = {blocks: ['log']} keeps working unchanged.

  • OWM widget (OWM widgets): API key, Layout (1-24), City and Country, each optional. An empty API key/City/Country is never written to the block, so config['owm_api']/owm_city/owm_country keep working as the fallback.

  • Sunrise / Sunset (Sunrise): added with only the generic title/width/custom-fields options, matching how little the existing sunrise block actually uses. Written under the bare sunrise key, so columns[1]['blocks'] = ['sunrise'] keeps working.

  • Timegraph (Timegraph): Main IDX, Duration, Height, X/Y-axis label counts, X-axis labels toggle, Animation, Line tension, Point radius, and a dynamic, unlimited list of values. Each value row has its own optional IDX, a Value (e.g. Temp, Usage, or the special NettUsage) and an optional Label — a value row without its own IDX falls back to the block’s main IDX, matching DT_timegraph’s existing fallback logic, so both single-device and multi-device Timegraphs can be built from the GUI.

• Added a Radio widget to Widget Editor, built on the existing Streamplayer block. Add and remove radio stations (name + stream URL) from a repeatable list; saved stations are written as blocks['streamplayer'].tracks, the same shape a hand-written _STREAMPLAYER_TRACKS global uses, so existing Streamplayer configurations keep working unchanged. tracks is a managed property, so it does not also appear as a raw JSON row in the generic Custom fields section. See Streamplayer.

• Added a Multi Device type to the Screen Editor’s add menu, to combine several IDX/value pairs — optionally from different Domoticz devices — into one block, for example blocks['combine'] = {idx: 43, values: [{value: '<NettUsage>'}, {idx: 1247, value: '<Temp>'}]}. It is built on the existing Custom Device engine: a values row without its own idx falls back to the block’s own idx. See Block parameters.

• Fixes

• Screen Editor: the config cog was missing for devices/widgets added by hand in CONFIG.js using the documented syntax (for example blocks['weather'] = {type: 'weather'}), rather than the Widget Editor’s own widget_xxx block keys. The Screen Editor now also resolves a widget from its block’s type/shape, matching how Widget Editor itself already identifies existing blocks.

• Widget titles set via the config menu were not visible on the dashboard and reverted after every reload. getBlockConfig in js/dashticz.js applied a translated default title to any Widget-Editor block unconditionally, even when the block already defined its own title, so a saved custom title was immediately overwritten again on render. It now only falls back to the translated default when the block does not define its own title.

• iFrame widget: new blocks now default scaletofit/aspectratio to empty instead of 300/0.9, so a newly added iFrame simply fills the tile’s own width/height instead of assuming a fixed-width embedded page. Existing blocks that already set these values are unaffected. In a grid layout, an iFrame with neither set now measures and fills its grid cell’s own height instead of collapsing to the browser’s small default iframe height. See Frames.

• Code

• Custom Device and the new Multi Device popup now start with an empty IDX and device name instead of showing example values (1380 / BTC_Price) that could be mistaken for defaults. Existing Custom Devices are unaffected.

v3.41.0 (10-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• The Air Quality widget (longfonds in CONFIG.js, id/key kept for backward compatibility) now renders through the World Air Quality Index (WAQI) component instead of the Longfonds/RIVM postcode lookup, which is why it was no longer working. Configure it with a WAQI city code (found on https://aqicn.org/) and a layout, both in Widget Editor or Settings -> Widgets -> Air Quality. The longfonds_zipcode/longfonds_housenumber settings and js/components/longfonds.js are removed; the (previously unused, disabled) js/components/waqi.js component is now enabled and reads the waqi_city/waqi_layout global settings.

• Fixes

• Public transport widget: added the missing default icon (fas fa-train) to js/components/publictransport.js. The widget catalog already showed a train icon when picking the widget, but the component itself never wrote one into defaultCfg, so a newly created widget had no icon at all unless one was set by hand.

• Device Editor: saving a device still failed with “requires a non-empty XMLTV URL” when an XMLTV TV Guide widget configured the normal way (its URL set as the global xmltv_url setting, via Widget Editor) was on the same screen. The earlier fix for this (issue #98) only checked the block’s own xmltvurl property, but that property is empty for a widget using the global setting — so the resubmitted payload still carried an empty URL and savewidgets.php still rejected the save. It now falls back to settings.xmltv_url when the block has no URL of its own.

v3.40.6 (10-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Device Editor: the Separator/title bar block now has an Icon checkbox and value, same as other special blocks. Previously it had no dedicated icon option, and typing icon into its Custom Fields section was rejected with “This field is duplicated or reserved” because icon is a managed property everywhere else — there was simply no supported way to add one. The block’s rendering already draws a leading icon for any block type, so this only needed the missing Device Editor UI and saveblocks.php/configwriter.php wiring to carry the icon through to CONFIG.js.

v3.40.5 (10-8-2026)

• Code

• Removed configwriter_normalise_text_alignment() from js/configwriter.php, a leftover helper from the removed alignment editor that was no longer called anywhere.

• Updated a stale tests/php-security.test.js assertion for the grid layout writer’s $forceClone check, which still expected its previous form and never matched the current cross-screen ownership logic (commit a88f728).

v3.40.4 (10-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Device Editor: saving from Device Editor now fails with a 400 error (“XMLTV TV Guide requires a non-empty XMLTV URL” / “iFrame requires a non-empty URL”) when adding or editing any device, as long as an xmltvguide or iframe widget block already exists on the dashboard. Device Editor resubmits every existing widget block to savewidgets.php on each save, but it never copied the block’s xmltvurl/frameurl (or the widget’s other saved options) into that resubmission, so the server-side validation added for those two widgets always saw an empty URL and rejected the whole save. Device Editor now carries those fields over like it already does for the calendar widget’s icalurl, so adding a device no longer breaks dashboards that also use the XMLTV TV Guide or an iFrame widget. (#98)

v3.40.3 (10-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Grid screens: widgets created (or resaved) from the Widget Editor no longer get a default fixed pixel height written into their block config. A grid item’s height is already determined by its grid-row span; the leftover column-layout default fought that sizing and caused iframes, camera/image widgets and other dynamically-sized content to be clipped or leave empty space, especially on mobile stacking. renderBlock now also skips forcing a block’s configured height as inline CSS when it renders inside a grid item, so dashboards with an already-saved default height are fixed immediately without editing CONFIG.js. Column-mode layouts are unaffected: they still get the catalog default height needed to pack columns, and any explicitly-set height keeps working in both modes.

v3.40.2 (7-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Grid screens: placing the same device or widget on both a normal screen and the standby screen now keeps independent positions for each screen. Previously the grid position was stored in the shared blocks['ref']['grid'] global, so the second screen’s save silently overwrote the first screen’s position and both screens rendered at the same location. The config writer now stores each block’s grid position as a per-screen {key, grid} inline descriptor inside screens[N]['blocks'] / standby_screen['blocks'], and renderGridScreen reads the per-screen grid from that descriptor instead of from the shared blocks object. Old-format configs (string refs with blocks[ref].grid) remain fully backward-compatible.

• Layout Editor now recognises Domoticz group/scene block references (for example s1) as normal configurable devices. Their top-left edit-mode control is now the same configuration cog used by other devices, and it opens the existing Device Config popup instead of showing only the move icon.

• Widget custom titles edited from Device/Widget Config now stay screen-local: the rendered widget block title changes on-screen, while widget catalog/menu labels remain language-driven and no longer inherit a saved block title.

• The Screen Editor add menu now includes a dedicated Slide button tile. It opens a small popup (similar to Custom devices) that saves a named block with slide, key, title and optional icon properties for quick page navigation buttons.

v3.40.1 (7-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Theme settings panel: _getStoredCssVarOverrides now only reads CSS variable overrides from the dashticz-theme-vars block written by savecustomcss.php (an inline <style> element), not from theme stylesheet <link> rules. Previously the function scanned all <link> stylesheets including creative.css, which caused _hasThemeCssVarCustomizations to always return true even when no user overrides were saved. The (custom) marker in the theme dropdown therefore never cleared after a reset, making saved changes appear not to take effect.

v3.40.0 (7-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Data checkboxes in Device Config and Widget Config now use positive semantics: checked shows the data text, while unchecked writes hide_data: true.

• The Screen Editor add tile is now labeled Devices.

• Device tiles in Layout Editor show a top-left configuration cog that opens the existing Device Config flow.

• The Wizard icon now uses fa-wand-magic-sparkles in all editor topbars.

• Layout Editor widget tiles now use the same top-left configuration cog as devices and open the matching full Widget Config. Device/Widget config headers include the name of the tile being edited.

• Removed the obsolete editor text-alignment classes/writer support and changed the default normal-screen background to /img/custom/BG_Dashticz_bw.png.

• Code

• Bumped the beta package and runtime version to 3.40.0 and updated regression coverage for the editor controls.

v3.30.3 (5-8-2026)

• Enhancements

• Device Editor rows now use a cog button that opens Device Config. The existing Icon, Data, Updated, Switch and Title controls and visual left/center/right alignment buttons are grouped in that popup. The Device Editor is hidden while the popup is open so the configuration always remains in front; it returns after OK or Cancel.

• Device Config now also contains repeatable Field/Setting rows for typed custom device parameters. Checkboxes are larger and the smaller alignment controls have a visible localized label loaded from lang/*.json.

• Widget Config now includes Icon, Data, Updated and Title options plus repeatable Field/Setting rows for typed custom block parameters.

• The generated blocks[...] definitions now save and reload those settings through the existing Device Editor flow, including helper title blocks.

• Per-device alignment is also maintained in an isolated generated section of custom/custom.css without replacing hand-written CSS.

• Code

• Updated English, Dutch and French editor translations, validation and source/playwright tests. Existing CONFIG.js variables and alignment options remain supported and the version number is unchanged.

v3.30.2 (4-8-2026)

• Fixes

• Theme settings: after selecting the “original” (reset) option, the reset entry no longer reappears in the dropdown while the panel is still open.

v3.30.1 (5-8-2026)

• **Enhancements

• Switching from Custom mode to Wizard mode now shows a clear warning that the current dashboard configuration will be removed and a clean page will be created.

• Added a new Theme category to the settings menu.

• Moved Dashticz theme selector, background image picker, and Pad/URL from the Screen settings to the Theme settings.

• Added color pickers for CSS custom properties (--main-bg, --home-bg, --border-color-*, --button-*, --text-*, --selector-bg, --blocktitle) in the Theme panel.

• Added font-size inputs for --font-small and --font-large.

• Color and font overrides are written to custom/custom.css (inside a /* dashticz-theme-vars */ block) so they take effect on top of the active theme without touching CONFIG.js.

• **Fixes

• When switching from Custom mode to Wizard mode, CONFIG.js now removes all Blocks, Columns and Screens while keeping the existing config settings.

• **Code

• Limited the mode-switch change to the Wizard confirmation text and the configuration cleanup written by saveconfigmode.php.

v3.30.0 (4-8-2026)

• **Changes

• **Device Editor

• Added the missing Title field to dummy devices and title blocks.

• Added the following options to dummy devices: - Icon - Hide data - Last update - Switch

• Ensured these values are correctly loaded from and saved to CONFIG.js.

• Fixed the alignment of dummy devices and title blocks so their controls match normal device rows.

• Fixed an issue where Hide data was incorrectly shown as enabled for existing blocks without an explicit hide_data setting.

• Only writes hide_data: true when the option is actually enabled.

• **Hide data

• Fixed hide_data: true being ignored when the Modern Dark theme was active.

• Fixed two incorrect references to the global blocks object instead of the current block.

• hide_data now behaves consistently across all themes.

• **Layout Editor / Move mode

• Fixed widgets remaining in move mode after being updated by Domoticz.

• When a Domoticz refresh replaces a widget DOM element, the Layout Editor now updates its internal element reference.

• Editor overlays and temporary move-mode classes are now removed correctly when move mode is closed.

• Added cleanup safeguards for overlays and drag/drop classes.

• Preserved block dimensions and editor controls when a widget is refreshed during editing.

• **Modern Dark theme

• Restored the default block height to 120 px so it aligns with the 10 px layout grid.

• Fixed standby background images being overwritten by the theme.

• Kept the top-bar clock transparent without its own background, border or shadow.

• Restored the intended title-group panel styling.

• Added a minimum height for dropdown controls.

• Corrected garbage-widget alignment.

• Restored the intended block spacing and border transparency values.

• **Settings cleanup

• Removed the obsolete and unused edit_mode setting.

• Removed its default value and translations.

• Updated the related tests.

• **PHP compatibility

• Replaced deprecated PHP string-offset syntax in the legacy iCalendar parser.

• The parser is now compatible with PHP 8.

v3.23.7 (2-8-2026)

• Consistent localization for settings and widgets: user-facing text in Settings, Device Editor, Widget Editor, Layout Editor, screen controls and widget status/error messages is now sourced from /lang/*.json. Dashticz always loads en_US.json as the base and recursively overlays the selected locale. Missing locale entries therefore fall back to English without mixing in hard-coded Dutch or French text.

• Topbar clock and widget sizing options: the topbar Mini clock now has a transparent background in Custom mode. Calendar exposes a visible-row limit (maxitems, default 15). Garbage exposes both maxitems (default 4) and maxdays (default 32), and stores both properties in the generated block.

• Responsive iframe defaults: newly added iframe widgets now default to scaletofit: 300 and aspectratio: 0.9 and omit a fixed height. Existing iframe blocks that use only height remain unchanged and fully supported.

• Fix topbar block order: blocks listed in columns['bar']['blocks'] now appear in the configured order. Previously sunriseholder (and any other block without an explicit CSS order value) defaulted to order:0 and was always placed before logo and miniclock, regardless of their position in the config. Content blocks now rely on DOM order (which already matches the config), while only the screen-switcher and settings cluster are pinned to the far right via high CSS order values.

• Restore adding devices and widgets: the Device Editor now sends the immutable device_<IDX> reference with every selected Domoticz device for the complete blocks/layout save sequence. The Widget Editor similarly gives new widgets their catalog reference immediately and retains existing custom widget references. Adding tiles therefore works again after the IDX-key migration in both column and grid layouts.

• Start Wizard with an empty configuration: switching an otherwise empty CONFIG.js to Wizard now creates an empty grid for screen 1 instead of reporting that no blocks could be converted. The Device and Widget editors can immediately populate the new screen. This empty bootstrap remains separate from the delete-screen operation.

v3.23.6 (1-8-2026)

• Stable Domoticz device keys: blocks written by the Device Editor now use device_<IDX> or device_<IDX>_<subidx> instead of a mutable Domoticz name. Generated normal-device blocks omit title, so the dashboard follows later Domoticz renames. Existing hand-written keys and explicit titles remain supported and editor-managed layouts migrate on their next save. Grid saves also remove their superseded generated column section, preventing duplicate old-name and IDX-key definitions. Repeated saves reuse the same IDX key rather than producing suffixed duplicates such as device_1498_2.

• Modern Dark garbage alignment: the Garbage widget now right-aligns its collection text while retaining the garbage icon on the left.

• Movement mode and live updates: Domoticz device refreshes no longer remove the editor overlay or restore the old fixed pixel height. Updated blocks therefore remain draggable and resizable throughout the edit.

• XMLTV grid sizing: the TV Guide tile now follows its assigned grid row span in both movement mode and the dashboard. Only programme rows that fit completely are shown, extra rows return when enlarged, and no internal scrollbar is displayed.

Enhancements

• Dynamic theme selector: Settings > Display > Dashticz-Theme is now a dropdown populated from valid theme folders in themes/. A theme is listed when themes/<name>/<name>.css exists; Default and existing manually configured values remain available.

• Device Editor helper blocks: the add selector now starts with Dummy device and Title, separated from Groups, Scenes and Devices by divider rows. Dummy devices request a positive IDX and generate blocks['dummyblock_N'] with hide_data: true; titles request text and generate an IDX-free blocks['Title_N'] with type: 'blocktitle', width 12 and height 120px. Both types work in column and grid layouts. Grid titles default to three rows, may be resized down to three rows and do not show a scrollbar at that height. Modern Dark title blocks use the theme panel background, border, radius and shadow, with title text at the top left. Dutch, English and French strings are included; other locales safely use the English fallback.

Fixes

• XMLTV TV Guide — consistent setting storage: the Widget Editor now stores the XMLTV widget’s URL, channel filter, maximum items, layout, separator, and refresh interval as global config['xmltv_*'] settings, matching the pattern already used by widgets such as Sonarr. Generated XMLTV blocks now use type: 'xmltvguide' and read those shared settings automatically, while existing hand-written blocks that keep xmltvurl / channels / maxitems directly on the block remain supported as overrides.

v3.23.5 (1-8-2026)

Fixes

• XMLTV TV Guide — settings not saved: in grid mode, changing the XMLTV URL (or any other XMLTV widget setting) via the widget-editor settings popup now persists correctly. Previously savegridlayout.php would re-apply the stale block definition from the old grid-layout section of CONFIG.js instead of the freshly-saved definition written by savewidgets.php, silently discarding the change. Additionally, the widget editor now reads back layout, separator and refresh from an existing saved block when the settings popup is opened in grid mode.

v3.23.4 (1-8-2026)

Fixes

• XMLTV TV Guide: the XMLTV widget now stays on its own XMLTV data path instead of falling back to the legacy tvgids.nl JSON API when channels is configured. Widget saves now preserve the XMLTV-specific layout, separator and refresh options during Widget/Layout Editor updates. Public XMLTV feeds can now be fetched through a dedicated PHP endpoint that caches downloads for 24 hours and accepts plain XML plus .gz and .zip guide files.

v3.23.3 (1-8-2026)

Fixes

• Default topbar height: when no theme is selected, the topbar now uses the same compact height as Modern Dark.

• Topbar screen-switcher PNG icons: when Custom iconen topbalk is enabled, the Standby and screen buttons now automatically use the bundled Standby.png, One.png, Two.png, Three.png, and Four.png assets when no explicit per-screen icon is configured. These screen-switcher PNG icons now render at 30px.

v3.23.2 (1-8-2026)

Fixes

• Topbar custom icons: renamed the topbar icon setting from “Default iconen topbalk” to “Custom iconen topbalk” and corrected the logic so that off (default) keeps Font Awesome icons and on switches to custom PNG images from img/icons/. The fix applies consistently to the main topbar, the Standby-screen editor icons, and the fullscreen toggle.

v3.23.1 (1-8-2026)

Enhancements

• Topbar icons — PNG mode: a new setting “Default iconen topbalk” (topbar_use_png_icons) has been added to the Screen settings tab. When the checkbox is on (default), the topbar action buttons (Add devices +, Add widgets 🧩, Move tiles ✤, Settings ⚙, Fullscreen ⛶) continue to use Font Awesome icons as before. When it is off, they switch to custom image files from img/icons/: Plus.png, Puzzle.png, Arrows.png, Cog.png, Expand.png (and Minus.png for the compressed-fullscreen state). The setting also applies to the editor icons shown on the Standby screen. Existing configs without the setting behave exactly as before.

---

v3.23.0 (1-8-2026)

Enhancements

• Widget editor / screenswitcher: widget tile names and editor-icon tooltips (“Add devices”, “Add widgets”, “Move and scale tiles”) are now translated using the active language file (/lang/<locale>.json). English is used as fallback when a key is missing. New keys add_devices, add_widgets, and move_tiles have been added under settings.widgeteditor for en_US, nl_NL, and fr_FR.

• Screen-switcher icons: the topbar buttons for Screen 1, 2, 3 … and the Standby button now support custom icons. Set screens[n]['icon'] in CONFIG.js to any Font Awesome class string ('fas fa-home') or an image path relative to the Dashticz root ('img/icons/home.svg'). For the Standby button use standby_screen['icon'] or config['standby_icon']. A new img/icons/ directory is provided for local icon storage; SVG, PNG, and other image formats are all supported. All existing configs without icon keys continue to work unchanged — the buttons fall back to the original number/letter text.

• Screenswitcher i18n: the topbar screen-switcher button labels (Standby, Screen #, Add screen, Delete screen) are now driven by a new screenswitcher section in each /lang/<locale>.json file. Previously the “Add screen” and “Delete screen” tooltips were hard-coded in Dutch. All 28 bundled language files have been updated. English is the automatic fallback when a key is absent.

• Device Editor: the “Add device from Domoticz” dropdown now lists items in the order Groups, Scenes, then Devices (each group alphabetically), instead of a flat alphabetical sort across all types.

• Device Editor: Domoticz groups and scenes are now listed in the “Add device from Domoticz” dropdown with a Group_ (or Scene_) prefix so they can be added to any screen. Saved group blocks use the group’s scene key (e.g. s1) directly as the block reference, matching the hand-written CONFIG.js convention.

• Widget editor: an iFrame widget has been added to the widget catalog. It uses the existing DT_frame component and generates a block with frameurl in CONFIG.js. Configurable options are: URL (required), height (px), scrollbars (on/off), scale-to-fit width, force cache refresh, and refresh interval. Translations for the new widget and its settings have been added to en_US, nl_NL, and fr_FR. Existing hand-written frames.* blocks (using frameurl) are automatically recognised by the widget editor when the screen is opened.

• A new XMLTV TV Guide widget (DT_xmltvguide) has been added. It fetches guide data from any XMLTV-compatible source (WebGrab+Plus, EPG123, Jellyfin, Tvheadend, etc.) and displays current and upcoming programmes. The xmltvurl block property selects the data source; channels filters by channel id or display-name; maxitems, layout, and separator control the presentation. Translation strings for loading, error, and no-programme states have been added to all supported language files. See XMLTV TV Guide for full documentation.

---

Fixes

• Widget editor: widget tile names now always reflect the active language when the device-editor popup opens, even when a hardcoded title (e.g. title:'Afval') is present in the blocks[...] definition in CONFIG.js. The translated name from the language file (settings.widgeteditor.*_title) now takes priority over any stored title for all known widget types. Type-mapped widgets (blocks defined with a type: property rather than a widget_xxx key) are fixed in the same way.

v3.22.2 (1-8-2026)

Enhancements

• Config mode: the Custom/Wizard switch now defaults to Custom when config["config_mode"] is absent from CONFIG.js (hand-written configs are treated as Custom). On startup and on every settings save the auto-detected value is written back to CONFIG.js so that subsequent loads resolve it directly.

v3.22.1 (1-8-2026)

Fixes

• Grid Layout Editor: the delete (remove) and resize handles are no longer clipped when a grid item is resized very small or its content overflows the tile boundary — overflow on the grid item is now visible while the editor is active.

• Calendar (agenda layouts 0 and 1): the block background now expands to fit all displayed agenda items instead of being capped at a fixed 120 px default. Users who want a fixed-height scrollable agenda can still set height explicitly in their block config; layout 2 (monthly view) is unaffected.

v3.22.0 (30-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Standby: Wizard Standby now uses the same free-positioned, editable CSS Grid layout as numbered screens. Existing columns_standby layouts can be converted after confirmation.

• Grid editors: Device and Widget Editors can add, remove and configure tiles on numbered and Standby grids while retaining existing positions; newly added tiles use the first free cells.

• Grid Layout Editor: vertical placement and resizing now use 20 px rows, giving twice the precision while the horizontal grid remains 24 columns.

• OpenWeather: Config and Widget Editors expose showGust (No), showWind (No), showDescription (Yes), showRain (Yes), plus a five-choice icon dropdown (line, linestatic, fill, static and meteo).

• Updates: the Update control now appears only in the Info tile; newer versions produce a persistent lower-right overlay notification.

Fixes

• General Settings: Save now updates only submitted settings instead of rebuilding all root configuration, preserving Garbage, Weather and other widget settings plus custom arrays and objects.

• Configuration editors: every save endpoint now follows ?cfg=... (for example CONFIG2.js), validates the filename, and leaves unchanged settings untouched.

• Configuration output: editor-owned settings remain deduplicated and generated layout output stays grouped as blocks, columns and screens without rewriting hand-written content.

• Screens: saving an empty numbered grid removes that screen and renumbers every following screen sequentially from 1, including its generated editor sections and column references.

• Screens: an explicit minus control now removes the active extra screen; screen 1 remains protected.

• Grid Layout Editor: existing screens that explicitly stored the former 40 px row default are migrated to 20 px rows without shrinking their blocks.

• Grid Layout Editor: resize and remove controls remain reachable on one-row tiles, and Domoticz flash updates no longer turn tiles grey while they are being moved.

• Standby: the S-screen is constrained to the viewport; oversized background images use centered cover cropping and can no longer enlarge the standby canvas beyond the display resolution.

• Topbar and Calendar: restored spacing between weekday and date, and constrained overflowing agenda text to the configured tile background.

• Clock settings: repeated saves now compare against the rendered values and persist each new change.

• Garbage: built-in collection names, empty/error states and provider errors now use language JSON entries (English and Dutch included).

• Topbar: restored the original logo and clock proportions while grouping the screen selector, Custom/Wizard switch and configuration icons at the far-right edge.

• Grid Layout Editor: blocks cannot be resized below two columns by four rows.

• Garbage: collection date names now explicitly follow the language selected under Settings > Localize.

v3.21.7 (30-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Wizard layout: opening a legacy columns screen now offers a confirmed conversion to a compact 24-column grid, including named, numeric and inline blocks. Switching from Custom to Wizard performs the same conversion, ensuring Wizard uses free grid placement.

v3.21.6 (30-7-2026)

Fixes

• Grid Layout Editor: the editing canvas now exposes and dynamically adds empty rows, scrolls automatically near the viewport edge, and keeps pointer capture outside the original block area so blocks can be dropped at any grid coordinate.

v3.21.5 (30-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Grid Layout Editor: named blocks on a grid screen can be dragged to new x/y coordinates and resized in w/h grid units. Save persists a safe grid-only override in CONFIG.js; Cancel restores the original layout.

v3.21.4 (30-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Screens: optional CSS Grid layouts place blocks at explicit x, y, w and h coordinates while preserving empty cells. Grid dimensions, row height and gap are configurable per screen.

• Grid screens: invalid positions receive safe fallbacks with console warnings, overlapping blocks remain rendered and are marked for diagnosis, mobile screens stack blocks in configured order, and column-based Device/Widget editors are disabled to protect grid configuration.

v3.21.3 (30-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Widget defaults: Google Maps, Camera, Air Quality, News, Weather, Spotify, Sonarr, Calendar, Public Transport, Traffic Information and 112 now use compact 4/12 widths and the requested rounded default heights.

• Camera widget: the Widget Editor can configure multiple named cameras with image and optional MJPEG URLs, using the existing camera carousel.

• Backgrounds: personal images named BG_* and placed in img/custom appear in both the Screen and Standby background selectors. Other filenames stay hidden, and all files in this directory are ignored by Git so updates leave them untouched.

Fixes

• Standby settings: changing the background no longer rebuilds or clears columns_standby, so standby blocks remain accessible and retain their configured widths and positions.

• Standby settings: removed the redundant Standby blocks text field; standby content is managed through the Device, Widget and Layout editors.

• Localization: the language selected in Settings → Localize now takes precedence over a stale browser language value after saving and reloading.

• Widget editor: widget names, descriptions, controls, statuses and validation messages now use the language JSON files. English and Dutch translations are included.

• Widget editor: opening the widget menu from Standby no longer makes its blue widget icons and grey settings icons white or invisible.

• Widget editor: settings entered while adding a widget to screen 2, another numbered screen or Standby are now retained in CONFIG.js just like settings entered on screen 1.

• Info: Domoticz, dzVents, Python and PHP versions are retained until the Info panel opens; the server operating system, version and architecture are now shown as well.

• Version check: the comparison now follows the current Git checkout’s preferred remote and branch, and its status text is translated.

• Visual editors: saving a layout with tall and short tiles now keeps every tile on the same 12-column grid, preserving its configured width, order and height after reload.

v3.21.2 (28-7-2026)

Fixes

• CONFIG.js: visual editor saves now consolidate generated output into one section with settings at the top, followed by grouped blocks, columns and screens. Existing separate Device, Widget and Layout Editor sections are migrated automatically on the next save.

v3.21.1 (28-7-2026)

Fixes

• Modern Dark: restored the larger 56 x 44 pixel selector-button touch targets that were accidentally removed while adjusting the theme colours.

Documentation

• README: documents the first-run wizard, Wizard/Custom modes, all topbar editors, the complete 15-widget catalog, standby settings, browser updates, and every supported installer directory option.

• Automatic installer guide: documents -d, --directory, --directory=PATH, a positional directory, DASHTICZ_INSTALL_DIR, and --help.

v3.21.0 (28-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Settings: the Update button is larger, with Beta/Main branch selection and Update uitvoeren shown beside it.

• Settings Widgets: category tiles for widget-related settings (including Weather provider groups and Clock type-specific defaults).

• Widget Editor / Clock: selecting a clock type shows the relevant options from the clock docs — size and scale for Basic/Hayman/Flip/Station; Flipclock showSeconds and clockFace; Stationclock body, dial, hands, boss, and hand behavior. Values are saved on the clock block in CONFIG.js.

• Widget catalog: additional widgets (security panel, public transport, traffic, 112/alarmmeldingen, camera, map, longfonds, moon, news) and OpenWeather display options (rain, description, wind, gust, icon set).

• Standby: standby screen settings available as a Settings tile.

• Settings → Weergave: background image uses the same pulldown as Standby (BG_* labels for img/bg* files), with a Pad/URL field underneath for custom paths or full URLs. Standby uses the same pattern.

• Settings → Widgets → Clock: Grootte and Schaal apply as defaults; clocks (especially station clock) fit inside the device tile.

• Topbar: Dashticz logo is shown before the app title. The topbar clock is optional via Settings → Weergave (default off).

• Installation security: install.sh grants the web-server user write access only to custom/. Application code and .git remain protected; the deprecated --git-update option is refused. When Settings → Update lacks permission, its hint now directs administrators to update from a shell as the checkout owner instead of making the entire checkout writable by the web server.

v3.20.4 (24-7-2026)

Enhancements

• Widget Editor: a puzzle-piece icon in the topbar opens a tile catalog for Weather (OpenWeather or Weather Underground), Garbage, Spotify, Sonarr, Clock, and ICS Calendar widgets. The clock widget supports Basic, Station, Flip, Hayman, and Mini clock variants. Selected widgets are stored in a separate managed section in custom/CONFIG.js and added to screen 1.

• Visual Layout Editor: an arrows icon has been added to the topbar. Generated device and widget blocks on screen 1 can be reordered and resized directly on the dashboard. The editor uses the same 12-column grid as the normal dashboard, so opening it keeps positions stable. Blocks visibly move to their new position while dragging and can also be dropped in empty grid space. A red minus button at the bottom-left removes a tile from the saved layout. Width snaps to the 12-column grid, height snaps in 10-pixel steps, and the size label is shown at the bottom-right. Save persists the mixed device/widget order to custom/CONFIG.js; the Device Editor uses that same visual order. Cancel or Escape restores the original layout.

• Topbar: editor, settings, and fullscreen icons now show a description on hover.

• Device Editor: a plus icon has been added to the topbar (left of the layout and settings icons). Clicking it opens a modal that lists all Domoticz devices currently shown in Dashticz, and provides a dropdown to select additional Domoticz devices and add them with the + button. Each listed device has a − button to remove it from Dashticz; numeric device IDs are now removed correctly instead of being recreated as Device IDX entries. The removed device is restored to the “Add device” dropdown. Added/remaining devices are saved to custom/CONFIG.js as named blocks[...] entries grouped into columns[de_colN] definitions (up to 4 blocks per column), and screens[1] is created or extended automatically. Requires PHP to be installed.

• First-run setup: the topbar auto-hide time now defaults to 5 seconds.

• Modern Dark: selector dropdowns now use the same larger touch target and font size as selector buttons.

• Settings: the legacy automatic-device, favorites, hidden-device, room-plan, RGB colorpicker, and colorpicker-scale controls have been removed from the visible settings menu. Their internal defaults remain available for backward compatibility.

• Screens: buildDefaultScreens is only called when auto_positioning is enabled, preventing automatic device injection on a fresh install.

Fixes

• Widget Weather: Weather Underground now uses its legacy renderer, while OpenWeather displays a visible loading or missing-API-key state instead of an empty area.

• Device Editor save: managedDevices is now initialised from all devices currently shown in Dashticz (previously it only read from the device_editor column, so the list was always empty on first use and nothing was written to CONFIG.js).

• Device Editor save: blocks are now written as proper named blocks['Name'] = {idx, …} entries with grouped columns and a screens[1] initialisation; previously only a raw IDX array was written to a single columns['device_editor'] entry and screens[1] was never created on a fresh CONFIG.js.

• Device Editor remove: restoring a removed device back into the available[] array so that subsequent + dropdown rows correctly include it.

v3.20.3 (20-7-2026)

3.7.2 (27-12-2020)

Note

Update instructions.

I’ve removed custom/custom.css and custom/custom.js from the Dashticz repository, because these are user configuration files, and should not be part of the Dashticz repository.

However, that means this update cannot be installed with git pull directly, because then git will report an error if you have modified one or both files.

To solve this, first make a backup of these two files:

mv custom/custom.js custom/custom.js.bak
mv custom/custom.css custom/custom.css.bak

In case you use the custom_2 folder, repeat these steps for that folder:

mv custom_2/custom.js custom_2/custom.js.bak
mv custom_2/custom.css custom_2/custom.css.bak

Then update to the latest version as usual:

git pull

And restore your backups:

mv custom/custom.js.bak custom/custom.js
mv custom/custom.css.bak custom/custom.css

And for the custom_2 folder:

mv custom_2/custom.js.bak custom_2/custom.js
mv custom_2/custom.css.bak custom_2/custom.css

You only have to do this once: Next updates can be installed with a normal ‘git pull’
