Totally lost how to install this... #65

Hi there, So I followed your instructions on how to install this package, installed it from HACS.

Opened my Configuration.yaml and added that single line
I did not have lovelace-ui.yaml file, so I created a new one under /config/lovelace-ui.yaml and entered the single line you mentioned.. Do I need to copy all this code in?

Now where do I go to activate this....?

Seriously though, those are terrible instructions.

When I pasted in the following I got error messages. No explanation at all on what "# your configuration." means.

frontend:
  ... # your configuration.
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes
  ... # your configuration.

I also did not have lovelace-ui.yaml file. There's also no explanation on how to change the background images.

Edit: To install simply include frontend: themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes in configuration.yaml and reboot. No idea what the other things are. Then edit the dasboard, click on the "..." button again and chose raw. Add background: var(--background-image) as the last line. Changing the background is covered here. The files is in the themes folder. Copy/paste the line and restart.

It works for me. Thanks!

Honestly, I am also lost. The installation instructions may make sense for the one who coded them. But for me at least it brought this: incomplete explicit mapping pair; a key node is missed; or followed by a non-tabulated empty line at line 12, column 17: frontend: themes: .include_dir_merge_named themes ^
