Right now I've got a big honking blank space at the top of the layout:
I've been struggling internally with the layout. I've tried to make items fill the space, but I really didn't like the result because it just looked slapdash and messy.
One idea would be to fill that space with the warnings/heads-up type information. In my own dashboards, I have the following:
Something like this could be probably done for NightWatch, and since we're doing it all ourselves we could probably combine them in a more optimal way; in a lot of ways my example is constrained (mermaid syntax with metric-specific coloring to show the state of each element, all done via a grafana plugin) .
Ultimately we just need to get a few people around a whiteboard with a list of the now-available information (light path information, arc lamp status, TCS warnings, etc.) and make them draw stuff until I see something that seems both aesthetically pleasing and not-a-nightmare to actually implement.
My initial guess at the actual nuts-and-bolts aspect would be to do this in bokeh, since that would give arbitrary shape support. Doing it there would automatically give it access to the currently plotted telescope state information too since that's where I'm doing all the plots and tables already.
