Downgrade to 2022.11.5 is your best option right now unless there is something specific you need in 2022.12. After over 500 posts on this topic and 6 updates later, there are still many affected users. The developers pulled the rug underneath without much warning and you have to deal with it their way!

DangitâŚI thought I had saved a post in this thread where someone had posted a theme that brought back âstandardâ color icons but now I canât find it. Would you be chance have a good recommendation on a theme? Iâll keep searching too.
That was the one, thank you. Got the theme working but doesnât look it works for the entities I have on my frontend using template entity row. Ah well.
Why do you think this? This statement is of course wrong.

probably due to the usage of variables in card mod⌠? 
Use vars in card-mod properly or do not use them (since they became so unstable & unpredictable)
Like most of you it gives me headache to find a solution
- type: custom:template-entity-row
icon: mdi:power-socket-eu
name: Washing Plug is using {{states('sensor.power_96')}} W
state: >-
{% if is_state('switch.new_toilet_heater', 'off')%} Off {% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '0')%} Not Active {% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '1')%} On Standby{% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '2')%} On Standby {% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '3')%} On Standby {% else %} Running{% endif
%}
color: >-
{% if is_state('switch.new_toilet_heater', 'off')%} white {% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '0')%} Cornsilk {% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '1')%} BlanchedAlmond{% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '2')%} Bisque {% elif
is_state('sensor.power_96', '3')%} Wheat {% else %} yellow {% endif %}
All I see is a yellow icon, not changing Tried state_color: true/false renamed color: >- to Color-icon etc. who can help me in de right direction?
Really? I tried for an hour or two to get the icon to change colors based on state but couldnât manage it. I did manage to change the entire entity color once, cover control buttons and allâŚ. I tried some other ideas but was 10 layers deep in CSS layers and couldnât figure out what worked.
Have a ready of this:
template-entity-row doesnât support color. You should check out the docs for your custom cards that youâre implementing. Your attempts have nothing to do with the topic at hand other than the word color.

I donât understand what you are saying before 2022.12 it worked perfect. So what your saying is can not be right. @petro
Not sure what to tell you, the card itself doesnât support color. So youâre using something else to set the color on that line. I donât know of any custom card that adds the color attribute, maybe custom UI. @Mariusthvdb might know better on that front. Regardless, it doesnât look like it ever supported color, so somehow if that worked, it was a fluke.

Ah, a secret parameter. 2 stipulations though: Only works if the entity is unset and active is set
Weird. I must Have a completely anomalous version of that addon then because since the day Iâve installed it, all the entities I am displaying with it have shown amber/yellow when on/active, just like every other entity on my dashboard.

Just updated to 2022.12 and my dashboard lit up like a multicolor Christmas tree. Wasnât expecting that based on the blog notes.
Can we possibly get a default theme option added to HA that uses primary/accent colors again? Or how about a toggle for accent vs state colors for those who want it?
My background is in industrial human-machine interface design where âgrey is goodâ and Iâve always thought that the HA devs must be aware of all the research money that goes into that. The classic use of color was really good at giving us a nice calm blue for things in the normal state and yellow for things to pay attention to. I hope we can find our way back at least as an option!
