Regarding point #2 in my case player when is “off” it’s in “Paused” mode (=not “off”), hence card is in active state. Is it possible to do something with it:
Without it all is ok, but I don’t like how dark it is.
Is there any way to adjust volume background overlay separately?
Also, it will be cool to adjust the color of the “Play” button as in my case it’s always active (as the player if always in “Pause” state).
We’re getting closer (again!) to the final v2.3.0 release, and this beta brings important refinements to ensure everything is bug-free and covers more use cases. I really hope that this version meets everyone’s expectations and brings us one step closer to a perfect and shiny release
I’m also truly sorry for introducing new breaking changes, but I want everything to be as polished as possible before the stable release, better now than later.
Here’s what’s new in this version:
Breaking change
Backdrop styling changes for pop-ups: The default backdrop is now darker without any blur, improving performance on older devices. To restore the previous blur effect, in the editor just go to your first pop-up on your view, then go to Styling options > Pop-up styling then change Optional - Backdrop blur to 10 (it was the previous value), or add backdrop_blur: 10 in YAML.
Persistent background color for climate cards: A new toggle in the climate card editor allows users to enable a constant background color when the entity is on. This simplifies the appearance and improves customization options. #933
Automatic entity matching for “Call service” actions: A new toggle in the editor ensures Call Service actions will automatically match the card or sub-button entity if defined.
Breaking change: If you removed entity_id in the previous beta, you’ll need to update your YAML. This resolves issues such as #935.
Bug fixes and optimizations
Improved light button visibility: Buttons with white light (or without RGB) are now easier to see in bright/light themes. The overall color system has been refined for better handling, and the color can now be customized with the --bubble-light-color variable. #692
Synced temperature changes in climate cards: Temperature values are now correctly synchronized when changes occur elsewhere. #942
Support for entity_picture in climate cards: The climate card now fully supports entity_picture as the icon. #939
I can’t wait for your feedback as always, and thank you for your continued support!
Bubble Card news
I want to highlight that on the GitHub page, in the Discussions section, you can share and discover some amazing YAML examples from the community. Go check it out! Some of the creations are absolutely incredible!
I’ve been wanting to start my own YouTube channel for a while, focusing on tutorials around Home Assistant and Bubble Card. There are two videos so far, an introduction explaining the project and a first tutorial on how to create your first pop-up. I really hope you will enjoy them. Don’t hesitate to subscribe to help give my channel more visibility. Thank you in advance!
The next video will cover the new global variables, as well as custom styles and templates, since I’ve noticed more and more questions on these topics.
And if you are interested I’ve opened a Subreddit for Bubble Card where I post my progress on the project. Here it is:
