🔹 Card-mod - Add css styles to any lovelace card

No need for the space in between red and the semicolon. Also use card_mod: style: (see README for new syntax).

@KTibow thank you so much for your assistance.

I am sorry to trouble you yet again. I have tried the readme and have made the follwoing changes. Still no luck.

entities:
  - entity: lock.front_door
    show_entity_picture: true
    state:
      - icon: 'mdi:door'
    card_mod: null
    style: |
      ha-card {
        --paper-item-icon-color:red
      }  
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
      service: lock.lock
      service_date:
        entity_id: lock.front_door
type: glance

No, not like that.

entities:
  - entity: lock.front_door
    show_entity_picture: true
    state:
      - icon: 'mdi:door'
    card_mod:
      style: |
        ha-card {
          --paper-item-icon-color: red;
        }  
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
      service: lock.lock
      service_date:
        entity_id: lock.front_door
type: glance

Thank you again for your help.
I think I did as you suggested, but still no luck.

entities:
  - entity: lock.front_door
    show_entity_picture: true
    state:
      - icon: 'mdi:door'
    card_mod:
      style: |
        ha-card {
         --paper-item-icon-color: red;
        }  
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
      service: lock.lock
      service_date:
        entity_id: lock.front_door
type: glance

Styling Glance card:

Check this:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: glance
    title: Colored icons
    style: |
      ha-card {
        --paper-item-icon-color: red;
      }
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
      - entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
  - type: glance
    title: Colored icon (1st entity)
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
      - entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2

The code does this:
изображение

Update:
The example above is 100% valid for "sensor".
For entities like "sun.sun", "binary_sensor" it it may not work.
Check this:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: glance
    state_color: true
    title: '--paper-item-icon-color'
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
        name: styling OK
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
      - entity: sun.sun
        name: styling failed
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
  - type: glance
    state_color: true
    title: '--paper-item-icon-color: binary_sensor'
    entities:
      - entity: binary_sensor.service_on_value
        name: styling failed
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
      - entity: binary_sensor.iiyama_2_ping_availability_status
        name: styling OK
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
  - type: glance
    state_color: false

          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
      - entity: binary_sensor.iiyama_2_ping_availability_status
        name: styling OK
        style: |
          :host {
            --paper-item-icon-color: red;
          }
  - type: glance
    title: using long syntax
    entities:
      - entity: sensor.cleargrass_1_co2
        name: styling OK
        style:
          state-badge:
            $:
              ha-icon:
                $: |
                  ha-svg-icon {
                    color: red;
                  }
      - entity: sun.sun
        name: styling OK
        style:
          state-badge:
            $:
              ha-icon:
                $: |
                  ha-svg-icon {
                    color: red;
      - entity: binary_sensor.service_on_value
        name: styling OK
        style:
          state-badge:
            $:
              ha-icon:
                $: |
                  ha-svg-icon {
                    color: red;
                  }


For "binary_sensor" the short notation "--paper-item-icon-color" will not work in case:

  • the sensor = ON
  • state_color: true
    But the “long notation” (using DOM) will work.

And this is not a Glance card.
This looks like a ‘custom:button-card’ more; mixed code - something from button-card, but “type: glance”.

If you prefer using the button-card then changing a color may be done by button-card itself without card-mod.

If you prefer using a glance card - remove these extra lines from the code.

Hey! This is good stuff!

If you want, please feel free to add this information to the wiki on github.

I never did it before… Need to learn first, thank you! And need to verify every case again.

Thank you so much for your assistance. It all works.

What did you do finally?
Rebuild the code for Glance or for button-card?

Thank you. I rebuilt the code for the Glance card using

type: glance
state_color: false
title: '--paper-item-icon-color: binary_sensor'
entities:
  - entity: lock.front_door
    name: styling OK
    style: |
      :host {
        --paper-item-icon-color: red;
      }

Was the lock icon’s color always yellow without using “style”?
Was it yellow when the lock = “locked” and of some default color when unlocked?
If so then you shoud not set it always red; probably it must be red only if locked.

Yes the lock icon was always yellow.
Yes that is my next challenge to get it to show green when locked and red when unlocked.
I will start work on that code tonight. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
You have been very helpful.
Thank you.

sorry for the direct tag @Ildar_Gabdullin, but latest card-mod gives me flickering badges which we discussed heavily before ;-=) …
what should I have changed according to the latests ideas of correct modding here:

      style:
        ha-state-label-badge:
          $:
            ha-label-badge:
              $: |
                .label-badge .label span{
                  color:
                  {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} gold;
                  {% else %} black;
                  {% endif %}
                }
          .: |
            :host {
               --label-badge-red:
              {% set zones = states.zone|map(attribute='name')|list %}
              {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} green;
              {% elif 'bij' in states(config.entity) %} gold;
              {% elif states(config.entity) in ['moving','driving'] or
                      states(config.entity) in zones %} mediumslateblue
              {% else %} dimgrey;
              {% endif %}
            }

constant flickering of the state, and in a lesser way, the badge color…

I moved the :host section like:

      style: |
        :host {
           --label-badge-red:
          {% set zones = states.zone|map(attribute='name')|list %}
          {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} green;
          {% elif 'bij' in states(config.entity) %} gold;
          {% elif states(config.entity) in ['moving','driving'] or
                  states(config.entity) in zones %} mediumslateblue
          {% else %} dimgrey;
          {% endif %}
        }
        ha-state-label-badge:
          $:
            ha-label-badge:
              $: |
                .label-badge .label span{
                  color:
                  {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} gold;
                  {% else %} black;
                  {% endif %}
                }

which seems to stop flickering, but I am uncertain if this will even mod according to state when they change… also, I lost the coloring of the text in the label. So, cut it short:

how to combine the

style: |
  :host 

with the

style: |
  ha-state-label-badge

rechecking: 🔹 Card-mod - Add css styles to any lovelace card which you adapted, makes me change to:

      style:
        ha-state-label-badge:
          $:
            ha-label-badge:
              $:
                .: |
                  .badge-container .label-badge .label span {
                    color:
                  {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} gold;
                  {% else %} black;
                  {% endif %}
                  }

            .: |
              ha-label-badge {
                --label-badge-red:
              {% set zones = states.zone|map(attribute='name')|list %}
              {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} green;
              {% elif 'bij' in states(config.entity) %} gold;
              {% elif states(config.entity) in ['moving','driving'] or
                      states(config.entity) in zones %} mediumslateblue
              {% else %} dimgrey;
              {% endif %}
              }

but then the flickering is back, and the page is almost unloadable, causing the fans overtime… must be me missing things :wink:
could you please have a check on this syntax? thanks!

I simulated your case.

First, let’s exclude conditions.
There are 3 examples in your post - I will name them “Marius 1”, “Marius 2”, “Marius 3”.
So we have:

  • Marius 1
  • Marius 1 (+my correction)
  • Marius 2
  • Marius 2 (+my correction)
  • Marius 3

                ha-label-badge {
                  --label-badge-red: green;
                }

As I see, the “span” is not black if ".badge-container" is missing.

The “Marius 2” cases will not work - in my experience this code never works:

      style: |
        :host {
          xxxx
         }
        ha-state-label-badge:
          $:
            ha-label-badge:
              $: |
                .label-badge .label span{
                  xxx
                }

Also, may be it is not important - you missed a space " " after the "span" word.

Now lets experiment with the 3rd case (replaced "bij" with "мки"):

      - entity: device_tracker.iiyama_1_ping_device_tracker
        name: Marius 3 (+conditions) life360
        style:
          ha-state-label-badge:
            $:
              ha-label-badge:
                $:
                  .: |
                    .badge-container .label-badge .label span {
                      color:
                      {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} gold;
                      {% else %} black;
                      {% endif %}
                    }
              .: |
                ha-label-badge {
                  --label-badge-red:
                  {% set zones = states.zone|map(attribute='name')|list %}
                  {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} green;
                  {% elif 'мки' in states(config.entity) %} gold;
                  {% elif states(config.entity) in ['moving','driving'] or
                          states(config.entity) in zones %} mediumslateblue
                  {% else %} dimgrey;
                  {% endif %}
                }

I tested with device_trackers located in different places (some of them = a “zone”).
изображение
I do not see any flickering.
Tested with Chrome (cleared History).

I propose you to do the following:

  • create an Entities card;
  • add the entities which are flickering now;
  • apply a similar styling;
  • check if it flickers.

What do you use for device_trackers as a platform?
Is it Life360? I am using it too (+ping).

wow. thanks…

using the person trackers, which incorporate the life360 platform yes. and some more…

this works:

        ha-state-label-badge:
          $:
            ha-label-badge:
              $: |
                .badge-container .label-badge .label span{
                  color:
                  {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} gold;
                  {% else %} black;
                  {% endif %}
                }
          .: |
            :host {
               --label-badge-red:
              {% set zones = states.zone|map(attribute='name')|list %}
              {% if is_state(config.entity,'home') %} green;
              {% elif 'bij' in states(config.entity) %} gold;
              {% elif states(config.entity) in ['moving','driving'] or
                      states(config.entity) in zones %} mediumslateblue
              {% else %} dimgrey;
              {% endif %}
            }

missing culprit: .badge-container in front of the first .lable-badge

seems solid as ever.

btw, where you’re from (‘мки’) :wink: Is that Cyrillic from Russia?

But your 3rd example was with ".badge-container" - and you wrote that it was flickering.
So, my example = your 3rd example.

I live in Moscow region, right)

don’t get it. It’s flickering again… sorry.

Send me a video please.
And once again I want to propose to check your entities in the Entities card - may be it is a problem of device_tracker itself.

I’ve started playing around with Home Assistant and Card mod, loving the customisability so far! Only I have one problem and it’s because I lack some knowledge of writing the right code. How do you combine two pieces of selectors which lead to different shadow-roots, while having the same parent element?

For example this:

card_mod:
      style:
        hui-generic-entity-row:
          ha-slider:
            $:
              paper-progress:
                $: |
                  #progressContainer {
                    background: red;
                  }
        hui-generic-entity-row:
          ha-slider:
            $: |
              .slider-knob-inner {
                background-color: none;
              }

How do I combine these two custom CSS classes? Currently I get the error:

Configuration errors detected:
duplicated mapping key at line 147, column -152:
hui-generic-entity-row:
