## Dashboard view headers
This release brings the ability to add headers to your dashboards. This allows
you to add a title and a welcoming text (using Markdown and even templates)
to your dashboards. Additionally, badges can be added to the header.
This release brings a whole new look with the ability to add headers to your dashboards. This allows you to add a title and welcoming text to your dashboards, using Markdown and even templates. Additionally, this gives you a lot of space for badges next to the header.
The nice thing about the header is that it can be aligned in different ways.
It comes with a responsive layout by default, but you can also set it to
always left align or always center align.
As always, we’ve baked in a lot of customization, with the ability to align the header in multiple different ways. It comes with a responsive layout by default, but you can also set it to always be left-aligned or center-aligned.

As for the badges, they can be positioned as well, either below the text

## Tile cards
A lot of touches and improvements have been made to the tile cards in this

There is no doubt the tile card can do a lot, but ever since its creation, it has had a little flaw that you might have run into yourself…
How would you know if tapping a tile card would trigger an action or when
it would just display the current state value of a sensor? We have subtly fixed
these things in this release!

Last release, we made quite a big change to the charts by replacing the software we use to make these graphs in Home Assistant. Things changed behind the scenes, but our aim to start was to make it look and feel similar.
However, we received a lot of feedback from the community that the legends
shown on the new graphs were suboptimal. Our UX and frontend teams have
been hard at work to improve this situation and make it look more similar
to the old graphs legends.

You can now also zoom in and out, by double clicking on a graph. If you want more control over the range you want to view in your graph, you can press the ctrl/cmd key and then select the range on the graph you want to zoom in on.
