Ok, I’ll give it a try

if i am seeing it correct you have your dash and yaml files in your custom_css directory.
i dont know if that causes the trouble, but the dash and widget yaml files should be in your dashboard directory and only the file that are part of the skin need to be in the skin directory.
Nope, the .dash and yaml files are in the dashboards directory. The css, and img files are in the custom_css/cars directory.
It’s something in the variables file. I copied the dashboard.css and variables.yaml file over from simply red and made changes one line at a time to the dashboard.css file. Everything worked fine. The only differences are where I included the background image and changed color values. And it works with those changes. The variables file has a lot of differences though. Not sure what they all are. Some are places where the bad one points to color variables and simplyred points to a “style”. It’s working now. That’s the main point.
Thanks for your help.

No worries. Glad to help.
If you’re running on Android you can use my app here Android Dash Board Browser with Motion Detection and MQTT to achieve this.
Just add an automation that reacts to the camera motion and sends an MQTT message to the tablet to load another URL with the right dashboard. Not as elegant as an HADashboard integrated solution tough.
I’m at work so I can’t see all the icons, but here is the basics of what it looks like. I didn’t really need the gradient from simplyred, just the hover functionality. So I commented out the gradient lines and it works like I want it.
I’ll play around some with the icons. I make the people cars but that might get confusing with the covers.

New request : Be able to have an iframe that also serves as a navigation tool.
I use an iframe to display my weather map. I would like to be able to click on it and have it take me to my current local forecast at weather underground or the local news, etc.
Thanks. Now how could I remove the transition of the gray haze that goes half way down on some of the items? Like the Radar Status one.
On the list 
Just out of curiosity how many pages long is the list now?? LOL
Well I keep wrestling stuff off the list but it only seems to get longer

You can remove the .widget:after style in the dashboard.css but be advised this will remove the ‘sheen’ and texture from ALL of the widgets. You end up with flat black widgets. I haven’t figured out a way to override this on a per widget basis yet.
Darn. I was playing around with getting my cameras on another page. They don’t look so good with the sheen on them. lol
Here is my latest. But now I have a questions.
I’m getting into a theme with my dashboards. The only things that are different are the background, item colors and maybe a few icons (mostly the things in the variable.yaml file.
Can the variables be used in the dashboard.css file ? (colors specifically)
Then the next thing I want to do is take the main part of the css and move it up a level so that all of my dashboards include it and the only thing in my custom_css are the things really specific to that skin. Does that make sense?
Awesome Styling! Respect! Nice Nice U might want to share your code? I know it is hours of work but if we share a bit our bits. eberybody can learn and save tjime
I will. Still working on tweaking it. I like thing to be perfect. lol
