The doc says:
āI recommend using HACS to install and keep track of plugins.ā
But this plug-in is nowhere to be found in HACS ?
Is a custom repository needed to install it ? If so, whatās the URL ?
Hi.
Thanks for all your work and help here!
Iāve searched for a few days but cant seem to figure out how it actually works.
Iāve also read that there might be problems with picture elemts cards, but there was a work around?
I have 2 icons, which actually should show a debug boolean state (removed to simplify) but I just want to change the color depending on on/off state and the only way to do it seems to be card-mod.
elements:
- icon: 'mdi:android-debug-bridge'
title: Debug
type: icon
style:
'--mdc-icon-size': 40px
color: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.6)'
background-color: 'rgba(3, 169, 244, 0.6)'
border-radius: 50%
top: 35%
left: 40%
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px
- icon: 'mdi:android-debug-bridge'
title: Debug
type: icon
style: |
hui-icon-element {
color: blue;
}
image: /
type: picture-elements
But Iām unable to make the second icon use any of the attributes of the first icon.
Iāve also tryed the debug method of my browser and found some elemts names but they modify colors of the entire page.
<hui-icon-element class="element" style="--mdc-icon-size:40px; color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.6); background-color: rgba(3, 169, 244, 0.6); border-radius: 50%; top: 35%; left: 40%; padding: 10px;"></hui-icon-element>
Any help apreciated
Uh, Maybe I can hepl here!
I just made it work:
In Hacs, under Frontend, press ā+ EXPLORE & ADD REPOSITURIESā and search for card-mod. Think thats how I made it work!
Found it 
Thank you!

Here all my posts which may be useful:
NOTE:
Do not forget to add a "card_mod:" keyword before "style:" (new in card-mod 3).
And also read this important note to create optimized code. In most examples here a code is NOT optimized - just to describe a DOM navigation.

Thank you! I think I now understand why the many things I have tried all failed to work.
If the Entities card contains multiple entities, is there a way to make the style apply to all of them? Or does it have to be repeated for each one separately?
Please check here:
There are examples with common style for all entities.
Note that you can specify a common style and then override it for some particular entity like here:
type: entities
title: 'Changed color'
style: |
ha-card {
color: blue;
}
ha-card .card-content {
color: red;
}
entities:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: Inherited color
- entity: sun.sun
name: Inherited color
secondary_info: last-changed
- entity: sun.sun
name: Changed color
secondary_info: last-changed
style: |
:host {
color: cyan;
}
The issue I am experiencing is that if I move the style block to the left, so it applies to all entities, it fails to work (even for just one entity).
type: entities
entities:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$: |
ha-switch {
display: none;
}
Does the reference within the style have to be modified?
Please check this:
type: entities
title: 'Checkbox: hidden'
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
style:
hui-toggle-entity-row:
$:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$: |
ha-switch {
display: none;
}
"hui-generic-entity-row" is inside shadow-root of "hui-toggle-entity-row", so you must specify it.
And you mustnāt if the style is for a particular entity (in short, you are already inside the shadow-root).
Colored checkbox:
NOTE:
Do not forget to add a "card_mod:" keyword before "style:" (new in card-mod 3).
Track with static color, colored trackās border:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: 'colored back (static), colored border'
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$:
ha-switch:
$: |
.mdc-switch .mdc-switch__track {
background-color: yellow !important;
border-color: green !important;
}
Track with conditional color, colored trackās border:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: 'colored back (conditional), colored border'
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$:
ha-switch:
$: |
.mdc-switch .mdc-switch__track {
border-color: green !important;
}
.: |
ha-switch {
--switch-unchecked-track-color: yellow;
--switch-checked-track-color: red;
}
Thumb with conditional color:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: colored button (conditional)
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$: |
ha-switch {
--switch-unchecked-button-color: yellow;
--switch-checked-button-color: red;
}
More examples are described here.

Thanks again! I will have to learn more about how to navigate through the various levels. Your examples are very helpful.

Thanks for all your posts, they have been quite informative!
But I think Iām at a state where you were too in the beginning. Not grasping the whole idea and not being able to read a good toturial.
Is the idea that you start your tree in the top layer, and write in code your way down untill you get to the eneioty you want changed?
And that $: is to change into those shadow-y-thing-y?
And the dot-colon-space-pipe >> .: | << is for when theres actually coming style code?
Yes, I am trying to use this approach.
Also, in this thread there was at least one more method described by the developer of card-mod (look at his posts, you will find the needed one).
It was described in the GitHub (GitHub - thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod: š¹ Add CSS styles to (almost) any lovelace card).
$: is used to go inside shadow-root of some element.
.: is used to go inside some element (not shadow-root) - see GitHub.
I am not 100% sure but I think that the pipe | is used to break a line before styles:
style: |
:host {
color: red;
}
or
style: ':host { color: red; }'
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$: |
ha-switch {
--switch-unchecked-button-color: yellow;
--switch-checked-button-color: red;
}
or
style:
hui-generic-entity-row ha-entity-toggle:
$: 'ha-switch { --switch-unchecked-button-color: yellow; --switch-checked-button-color: red; }'
The means that the pipe must be used ONE time after the LAST colon.
The example:
type: entities
title: Using pipe
show_header_toggle: false
entities:
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: colored text
style: |
:host {
color: red;
}
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: colored text
style: ':host { color: red; }'
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: colored button
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$: |
ha-switch {
--switch-unchecked-button-color: yellow;
--switch-checked-button-color: red;
}
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: colored button
style:
hui-generic-entity-row:
ha-entity-toggle:
$: 'ha-switch { --switch-unchecked-button-color: yellow; --switch-checked-button-color: red; }'
- entity: input_boolean.test_boolean
name: colored button
style:
hui-generic-entity-row ha-entity-toggle:
$: 'ha-switch { --switch-unchecked-button-color: yellow; --switch-checked-button-color: red; }'

Iāve been off here for a bit. Are there any posts that havenāt already been answered?
How can I reach the first div in order to add style elements? I tried a few searches but Iām not even sure what to search for. I scanned a number of Ildar Gabdullinās posts as there are many examples but except for going into shadow roots I couldnāt find the answer for this.
Iām pretty sure you donāt need shadow-rooting for that. What happens without shadow-rooting? Could you also specify your whole intentions?
Sorry if I explained badly. I meant: I understand how to navigate into shadow roots (and there are many examples of those) and how to get into inner elements (like a div) but here are 3 divs on the same level and Iām unsure how to be specific about how to apply styling to only one of those divs. Should I aim to style the class on the div instead, since they each use different classes?
I was trying to simulate your situation but failed since I do not have any detailsā¦
In my opinion you should use smth like ā.classnameā notation.
Like:
style: |
ha-card .mmp__bg {
....
}
But cannot check myself if it worksā¦
The class styling would be the easiest, but you could also try nth-of-type.
