+ 0.49: Themes đš, kiosk mode and Prometheus.io
+ +
WE HAVE THEMES đšđ©âđš
+Our already amazing frontend just got even more amazing thanks to @andrey-git. With the new theme support you can be in control of the primary color, accent color and a whole bunch more.
+You can specify themes using new configuration options under frontend.
+frontend:
+ themes:
+ green:
+ primary-color: #6ca518;
+Once a theme is defined, use the new frontend service frontend.set_theme to activate it. More information in the docs.

+
Not all parts of the user interface are themable yet. Expect improvements in future releases.
+Kiosk mode
+Another great new improvement for the frontend is the addition of a kiosk mode. When the frontend is viewed in kiosk mode, the tab bar will be hidden.
+To activate kiosk mode, navigate to https://hass.example.com:8123/kiosk/group.living_room_view. Note that for default_view the url is just https://hass.example.com:8123/kiosk
This feature has also been brought to you by @Andrey-git! Big shout out to him for his continuous efforts to bring Home Assistant to the next level.

-This release brings some great new integrations. The biggest one is the [native ZigBee integration][zha docs] by [Russell Cloran][@rcloran]. This will allow Home Assistant to natively control Philips Hue lights without the need for a hub! (IKEA Tradfri lights not yet due to implementing a different profile)
-
-Another great new addition is [OpenCV][opencv docs] by [Teagan Glenn][@teagan42]. So now you'll be able to unlock all the cool stuff from OpenCV right in Home Assistant. And if OpenCV is not your style, you can try out the new [DLib integration][image_processing.dlib_face_identify docs] added by [Pascal Vizeli][@pvizeli] in this release.
-
-This release also includes a [new component][rss_feed_template docs] to dynamically generate RSS feeds based on a template. This means that any RSS widget on your phone, tablet or computer can now be used to show Home Assistant data!
-
-And finally, for users of the config panel in the UI, we have fixed the issue with the group editor.
-
-Enjoy!
