[ISSUE] Confusing UI in Configure section of the dashboard #219

Description

@shtrom

Home Assistant version

2026.7.2

ChoreOps integration version

1.5.0

Installation method

HACS

Prerequisites

  • I checked for existing open and closed issues
  • I updated ChoreOps (or confirmed the issue still occurs on the latest version)
  • If this is a dashboard issue, I updated dashboard dependencies such as button-card and confirmed the issue still occurs
  • I enabled debug logging and can share logs

Issue scope

Dashboard UI/template

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to normal dashboard
  2. Open the Configure panel
  3. Tick “Hide Completed” -> It changes to an active state with a “Show Completed” text
  4. Tick “Show This Week Group” -> It changes to an active state with a “Hide This Week Group” text
  5. Get confused about whether the options are enabled or not

Issue description

Due to the orthogonal changes in button active states and the text on them, and that some button are active when things are hidden, and others are active when things are show it is unclear what pressing a button will do.

I'd suggest to only retain the active/inactive state for the buttons, and not change the label anymore, keeping them all in the positive (“Show”, “Enable”, ...). This would make it clear what is currently enabled or not.

Alternatively, though I don't think it's as nice, drop the active/inactive states, and rely on changing the buttons labels, which would indicate the effect that pressing the button right now would have.
