We are not going to implement widget resizing, however we will add more size options later. Landscape is not planned at all right now, because it will take crazy amount of time to implement. 
LCD widget is planned, you can even try it on Android phone, if you have one.
do you mean adding background image?
Iâm running in on android, and the lcd widget is fullscreen (left to right), so no room for any leds or buttons obviously associated with it. And as I stated itâs massive as just a text-field - Iâm not really looking to virtualize a LCD, Iâm looking to have the UI of a racing system be able to display [car1name] [car1 time] cleanly and dynamically. Smaller widgets will open up a lot of options, as currently itâs impossible for me to make a useable remote for my project, just based on sizing. I basically am looking for a dynamic display, with a bunch of integrated buttons for a judge to be able to hit to issue flags/penalties on the fly, or overrule timings and win/loss after the fact.
As other people have suggested, multiple tabs would be very useful as well, so I can go from displaying X metrics to displaying Y metrics, or into an input mode, etc.
As for an image, especially once we have smaller widgets, yes Iâd like to be able to group them, box them, put colors behind them if necessary, have 1 label covering a bunch of them, etc. Yes, Iâd be fine to do it in MSPAINT and just use the img file as a underlay lol.
Lastly, a client/master option would be great. Iâd like to be able to have someone log-in (using guest credentials, if necessary) and be able to run the app, but not modify anything.
Thatâs exactly the reason I was dragged to it too. The overall look is just perfect, it looks like a lot of effort has been put into this app. Blynk is perfect!!!
Love the new Terminal widget, but why the Serif typewriter font? It seems out of place with the clean, modern look of the rest of the interface.
console is console

End result dashboard should be as clean as possible and focus on delivery of visual understanding of data. Widget titles should be optional to free up real estate as desired.
Color should be customizable and colors for value ranges per widget (alerts) could be added to make a real impact. If my garden is too dry I need the moisture % in red, if itâs too wet, well⌠I live in Vancouver, But you get the idea. Without color alerting I would be more prone to just using Tableau to query the history of all my devices on a local postgres or mongodb or even particle cloud if itâs reasonably priced. I will be logging hostory for all my IoT data anyway, but Blynk is a fantastic for real-time device feeds.
Of this whole thread the only design change I agree with is making the background the same as the widget so as to give the âfinishedâ panel a uniform and âcohesiveâ look. I think the existing graphics are very attractive, even though from a theoretical point of view, perhaps they may not please a âdesignersâ idea of perfect. I donât like the statement that one design is âbetterâ than another, when in reality it is truly just âdifferentâ from the other. Itâs a very subjective topic.
Pavel, I think you have done an amazing job of designing a product that is both visually pleasing and functional. You will never to be able to please everyone, although I applaud you attempts to do so.
I also think that new ideas are very important to the on-going development of products such as this, however, the ideas should be presented, not argued.
Iâm reviving an old thread. First, I love the evolution of the Blynk dashboard graphics. The widgets all look more consistent, and the removal of pin numbers in running mode really cleans up the interface. I was just wondering if there were any plans to homogenize the background color, and remove the dot grid when the dashboard is in running mode. Seems like it would give the dashboard a more finished look
.
It will be done really soon. Thanks for pointing out
Cool. That mockup, as with the last one without the grid, immediately looks way better!
Acknowledging that âreally soonâ is a relative expression⌠>5 months might be pushing it. Just keeping it on your radar. 
@Pavel After upgrading to the latest app and server code, my projectâs dashboards are now an ugly white with grid pattern. Is there a way to go back to the black? I looked at the config files but didnât see anything for the dashboard color in there.
Thanks,Nick
Seems that your project is using SparkFun hardware, like SparkFun Blynk Board, in case of SparkFun boards app uses another theme for such projects.
So can I not change the background color/theme on the dashboard?
if you have local server you can, else it is not possible.
Change SparkFun board to any other board.
@wiipro @Dmitriy I canât easily change my hardware but I am using local server. Is there a setting?
I mean in project settings. Not real hardware.
