You can change a lot of things by modifying the Node-Red CSS. For example, by changing the background from my custom css, and with a dark background for the groups, instead of the white, you have this :

By changing just 2 CCS lines, you have a new Dashboard 🙂  
With some work on the CSS, you can make a Dashboard that’s look like this Home Assitant theme.
