First of all - Happy New Year! and many BIG Thanks to @Blackymas for helping me to setup and configure NSPanel, US version. So, Panel is up and running, all components are up to dated (everything is on Version 4.1.1) but I am very confused how to configure this toy to my very specific needs. On a first glance it looked like Blueprint GUI should/could do everything what I am looking for. However after playing a bit with Blueprint configuration I realized it is not that easy and intuitive as I was expected. First let me explain what is my target application. The Project "as is" is loaded with many very nice and I am sure, very useful features but my immediate needs is limited for creating very simple Wall Mounted Scene Controller with 6-8 user customizable Buttons (I am looking for ability to add custom Icon and Label for each Button). And, YES this is doable! But here is what is not very intuitive (but I may not be doing it right):

OVERAL, I am very happy with this project and I am very glad I found it. But it will be nice and helpful to have very simple ether Blueprint or just an ability to configure a panel with a simple YAML (or so). This already could be case but I am not a software person and simply could be missing a point. It will be very nice if someone could point me in a right direction. Sure, I may have more questions in a future.

Bottom line: I like this project "as is".

Thank you very much and Happy New Year!,

UPDATE 1 The ability to change Icon Color on a Button is very nice feature but because when Button Status is ON the background color is Bright White (and could not be changed?) the Icons are barely visible unless Icon Color is Black. This makes an ability to customize Icon Color somewhat useless.

UPDATE 2 @Blackymas

  1. Is it possible to change a Background Color when Button is in ON state? Current Background Color is very bright white. This basically make an Icon alsmost invisible unless Icon color is Black.
  2. Is it possible to force a displayed page by Command? Entity "nspanel Current page" shows what is a current page but I am looking for the ability to set it by command.

@vitalikkh, which page do you want to open by command? Have you seen this: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/wiki/(EN)-HowTo---All-important-thing-you-should-know#11-call-certain-pages-directly?

Solved in dev with improved documentation.
