I just added another linked discussion above that went into more detail.
But…as for SmartTiles direction… We’re headed somewhere, but it really depends on the balance between what is feasible to produce affordably, while being attentive to user’s feature requests.
But I ask respectfully and seriously: Why would we do this for “free”?
I didnt mean it to be disrespectful, I was basing that comment on the context under your “license” heading on the homepage for smarttiles.
I personally would pay for something that I could customize to fit my home. Not Creston money, because my wife would be my ex-wife if I did that, but I would pay.
Not to practical may be for people with 100-200 devices? 
No disrespect or offense taken… SmartTiles was and is currently “free”, though we appreciate donations that help encourage support and ongoing development effort. Donations are a bit like “crowdfunding” our major Version 6 overhaul and release currently under development.
Like any product or service, SmartTiles will become more and more responsive to its users or customers, including more and more customizable if we can find a profitable market and efficient cost of development.
Floorplan mode (as per the linked discussions), is relatively difficult, and SmartThings doesn’t have enough Customers to build this for economies of scale, and SmartThings’s target market is very low-price ($99) compared to the current vendors that do offer this feature ($10,000 to $80,000 and more…).
But we still love the idea and maybe us or someone will get there!
Like this?
What’s that thing?
periodic table? 20chars
Knew I saw that before
it is absolutely amazing. Just sent my donation via paypal.
Just a quick question, how could I change the 2 colors of the theme (blue and white) into a different blue and orange?
Hello
In have tried several times to change the CSS with no success, basically nothing happens.
Here is what I would like to do.
For every tile being able to change the background and the font color. Plus being able to change those colors according to the the status (e.g. if the nest thermostat is Heating change the background color or if the wemo switch (deumidificatore) change the background color or again if the battery sensor is lower than 50% change the background color)
can someone give me some hints on how to do it?
thanks a lot
Ciao

I find that using a desktop browser inspect / debug tool really helps.
Here’s an overview of how to use Chrome Dev Tools:
You literally can see the CSS that applies to the Element(s) you select, and edit them on-the-fly (temporarily until you refresh…). Then you can copy the edited CSS references to the Custom CSS.
In the sample screen I paste below, you can see I selected a tile, see in the bottom left panel that it is in <div class="title">...</div>, and see in the bottom right panel that I edited CSS descriptor to be color orange:
.theme-cobalt .tile, .theme-cobalt a i {
color: orange;
}
I did not test pasting this into my “Custom CSS” for this dashboard yet. Sometimes you need to use the “!important” override flag, etc., as per various detailed examples earlier in this Topic.
Look nice and clean that colour scheme
The old playbook seems to work, it re builds the list a bit slowly on refresh but does work. Im going to see if there is a different browser for it and see if that helps
I found an Android browser in App World (Boat Browser I think? PB isn’t on hand sorry) that seems to handle SmartTiles okay. It does take a little while to refresh the tiles and the keep screen on function doesn’t work but otherwise it is usable. Give that one a go.
Thanks Terry
I have changed both background and font color
I am still looking at how to change those colors when for example the thermostat is heating but I will do some tests!
Thanks again
Is it possible to add a “new row” after/before any particular tile? If so, I would appreciate some pointers on this.
No; though you might be able to force one with Custom CSS and pinpoint CSS selector of to that Device Tile and use the "\A" character in the :after portion.
Sorry for the vague answer. Custom CSS is not something I can provide detailed support on, but the clue above might be enough for you or somewhere here to run with.
I have the D-link cameras installed at my house. I was wondering if the dashboard will eventually be able to show the d-link video feeds like the dropcam does? Or am I missing something?
If the camera has an “http” MJPEG video stream URL/URI, then it will likely work in SmartTiles today.
Some documentation on the URL’s for various D-Link…
