OpenHab 2: Dark Mode

OpenHab Dark Mode:

Hey guys Matt here from MKSmartHouse.com and in this video I am going to show you a secret mode in openHAB.
In this complete guide I will show you how to activate the secret mode in openHAB. The secret mode is dark mode for the basic ui. I found this feature when I was playing around in the openhab settings and noticed that basic ui had some drop downs. I am so glad I found it because I usually have openhab up on one of my monitors and at night it's very blinding. With this dark mode it just blends into the night and I think it looks really cool especially with the glow from the LED Strip behind it.
