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

Stefan2 · July 1, 2021, 10:58pm

I tried this and styles with ha-markdown, ha-markdown-element and p, but there were no changes.
In the Inspector i can enter this and it works.

cards:
  - type: custom:layout-card
    layout_type: custom:vertical-layout
    cards:
      - type: custom:layout-card
        layout_type: custom:horizontal-layout
        layout:
          width: 400
        cards:
          - type: markdown
            content: 'Harmony Wohnzimmer'
            style: |
              ha-card {
                font-size: 24px;
                text-align: center;
              }
      
      - type: custom:layout-card
        layout_type: custom:grid-layout
        title: Harmony Wohnzimmer
        layout:
          grid-template-columns: 33% 34% 33%
          grid-template-rows: 60px
          grid-gap: 0px 0px

card-mod wasn’t in ressources,
this is working:

    cards:
      - type: custom:layout-card
        layout_type: custom:horizontal-layout
        layout:
          width: 420
        cards:
          - type: markdown
            content: 'Harmony&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wohnzimmer'
            card_mod:
              style:
                ha-markdown:
                  $:
                    ha-markdown-element: |
                      p {
                        font-size: 24px;
                        text-align: center;
                        margin-bottom: auto;
                      }

Can anyone help me changing the line-height for all card titles inside a custom:grid-layout ? I’ve tried alooot of things but I’m totally lost …

e-raser · July 4, 2021, 2:22pm

I tried to change a cards title. Tried for over one hour and something.

It seems to simply be impossible. I tried every approach, last two promising were

type: custom:mod-card
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 1
  square: false
  title: Welcome Home
  cards:
    - type: vertical-stack
      cards:
        - type: button
          tap_action:
            action: navigate
            navigation_path: home
          name: Home
          icon: mdi:home-circle
          hold_action:
            action: none
          icon_height: 100px
          show_state: false
        - type: custom:simple-clock-card
          use_military: true
          hide_seconds: false
          font_size: 2rem
          padding_size: 10px
          card_mod:
            style: |
              ha-card {
                letter-spacing: 3px;
                border: 0px;
                padding: 3px;
                background: default;
              }
  card_mod:
    style: |
      ha-card .card-header {
        margin-left: auto;
        color: red;
        margin-right: auto;
      }

and

type: custom:mod-card
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 1
  square: false
  title: Welcome Home
  cards:
    - type: vertical-stack
      cards:
        - type: button
          tap_action:
            action: navigate
            navigation_path: home
          name: Home
          icon: mdi:home-circle
          hold_action:
            action: none
          icon_height: 100px
          show_state: false
        - type: custom:simple-clock-card
          use_military: true
          hide_seconds: false
          font_size: 2rem
          padding_size: 10px
          card_mod:
            style: |
              ha-card {
                letter-spacing: 3px;
                border: 0px;
                padding: 3px;
                background: default;
              }
  card_mod:
    style: |
      .name {
        margin-left: auto;
        color: red;
        margin-right: auto;
      }

Changed exactly nothing. Summary: changing card titles is impossible. Everyone trying to do this on a per card basis: don´t waste your time (like I did).

What do you want exactly?
Could you provide a picture describing your intentions?

e-raser · July 4, 2021, 7:21pm

I want to center a card´s title. Nothing more, nothing less

Mission impossible according to what I´ve gone through so far.

Ildar_Gabdullin · July 4, 2021, 9:06pm

This is not a solution. This is just another approach.

e-raser · July 4, 2021, 9:42pm

Okay Well it´s working (basically) for me. Even the need for using the custom:mod-card is not nice but I can completely live with that.

Would you propose another approach for the same result?

Ildar_Gabdullin · July 4, 2021, 9:47pm

Here it is, use any alignment:

type: vertical-stack
cards:
  - type: entities
    title: Some title (+card-mod)
    card_mod:
      style: |
        ha-card .card-header {
          border: 3px dotted magenta;
          padding: 0px;
          display: unset;
        }
        ha-card .card-header .name {
          color: red;
          text-align: right;
          font-weight: 1000;
          letter-spacing: 3px;
        }
    entities:
      - entity: sun.sun
      - entity: sun.sun
      - entity: sun.sun
  - type: entities
    title: Some title
    entities:
      - entity: sun.sun
      - entity: sun.sun
      - entity: sun.sun

e-raser · July 4, 2021, 9:57pm

Well I´m using a grid and the title is part of the grid, not a card inside the grid. So this approach (which was my first try before asking here) isn´t working for me unfortunately. But that´s okay. Once a last question (how to combine styles for several parts in one card_mod section) is clarified I´m totally happy.

Thanks for your effort!

Ildar_Gabdullin · July 4, 2021, 10:08pm

When I asked you about your intentions, you only told about the Entities card’s title.
Now you are talking about grid card’s title.
Did you try searching here in the thread? Grid cards were discussed here - exactly about styling headers.

type: custom:mod-card
card_mod:
  style:
    hui-grid-card:
      $: |
        .card-header {
          color: red !important;
          background-color: green;
          --ha-card-header-font-size: 30px;
          font-weight: bold !important;
          padding: 0px 0px 0px !important;
          letter-spacing: 0.112em !important;
          text-align: right;
        }
card:
  type: custom:auto-entities
  card:
    type: grid
    columns: 4
    square: true
    title: Kantoor
  card_param: cards
  filter:
    include:
      - entity_id: sensor.ha_count_*
        options:
          type: entity
          entity: this.entity_id
  sort:
    method: entity_id
    ignore_case: true

e-raser · July 5, 2021, 7:32pm

Well I was only talking bout a cards title, quite unspecific to be honest
I learned that for applying something to a grid card we need the custom:mod-card. So basically the solution exists, BUT I can´t apply the “center grid card title” CSS to an existing style affecting the whole ha-card. I just don´t know what the syntax is.

In details:

Ildar_Gabdullin · July 5, 2021, 8:35pm

The same example as above:

type: entities
title: Some title (+card-mod)
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      border: 3px solid cyan;
    }
    ha-card .card-header {
      border: 3px dotted magenta;
      padding: 0px;
      display: unset;
    }
    ha-card .card-header .name {
      color: red;
      text-align: right;
      font-weight: 1000;
      letter-spacing: 3px;
    }
entities:
  - entity: sun.sun
  - entity: sun.sun
  - entity: sun.sun

e-raser · July 5, 2021, 9:59pm

Here´s my real life example:

type: custom:mod-card
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 3
  square: true
  title: Services
  cards:
    - type: button
      tap_action:
        action: navigate
        navigation_path: wetter
      name: Wetter
      icon: mdi:white-balance-sunny
      hold_action:
        action: none
      show_name: true
      show_state: false
      show_icon: true
    - type: button
      tap_action:
        action: navigate
        navigation_path: orte
      name: Orte
      hold_action:
        action: none
      show_name: true
      show_state: false
      show_icon: true
      icon: mdi:map-marker
    - type: button
      tap_action:
        action: navigate
        navigation_path: gesundheit
      name: Gesundheit
      icon: mdi:hospital-box
      hold_action:
        action: none
      show_name: true
      show_state: false
      show_icon: true
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      border: 1px solid grey;
      padding: 5px;
      background: none;
    }
    ha-card .card-header {
      border: 3px dotted magenta;
      padding: 0px;
      display: unset;
    }
    hui-grid-card:
      $: |
        .card-header {
          width: max-content;
          margin: 0 auto;
        }

Neither your appended

    ha-card .card-header {
      border: 3px dotted magenta;
      padding: 0px;
      display: unset;
    }

nor the

    hui-grid-card:
      $: |
        .card-header {
          width: max-content;
          margin: 0 auto;
        }

are working. Only the first section

    ha-card {
      border: 1px solid grey;
      padding: 5px;
      background: none;
    }

is applied:

So where is the bug?!? Drives me crazy meanwhile

Ildar_Gabdullin · July 5, 2021, 10:10pm

There is no need just to copy-paste card-mod styles which are not related to this particular card.
You mixed styles from different cards.
The working styles:

type: custom:mod-card
card:
  type: grid
  columns: 3
  square: true
  title: Services
  cards:
    - type: button
      name: Wetter
      icon: mdi:white-balance-sunny
      show_name: true
      show_state: false
      show_icon: true
    - type: button
      name: Orte
      show_name: true
      show_state: false
      show_icon: true
      icon: mdi:map-marker
    - type: button
      name: Gesundheit
      icon: mdi:hospital-box
      show_name: true
      show_state: false
      show_icon: true
card_mod:
  style:
    hui-grid-card:
      $: |
        .card-header {
          color: red !important;
          text-align: center;
        }
    .: |
      ha-card {
        border: 3px solid magenta;
        padding: 25px;
        background-color: orange;
      }

Hey lldar… Any chance you see my error here?

I want just the last row, connectivity to show an icon colour but when I apply card mod it changes either all of them or none of them depending on where I place the code. When I place it as per here:

            entities: 
              - type: custom:auto-entities
                card:
                  type: custom:fold-entity-row
                  padding: 0
                  head:
                    type: section
                    label: Fritz!Box Switches and Sensors
                  open: false
                filter:
                  include:
                    - entity_id: "sensor.fritz_*"
                    - entity_id: "switch.fritz_*"
                    - entity_id: "binary_sensor.fritz_*"
#                     card_mod:
#                       style: |
#                         :host {
#                         --paper-item-icon-color:
#                           {% if states('binary_sensor.fritz_box_7590_connectivity') == 'on' %}
#                             var(--state-icon-active-color)
#                           {% else %}
#                             var(--state-icon-color)
#                           {% endif %}
#                           ;
#                         }
                show_empty: true
                sort:
                  method: name

(Uncommented of course) it doesn’t display the connectivity row at all. can you see what I am doing wrong or is it not possible to style just that one row?

Silly thing is if I click that row it looks like this:

So something in my theme must be overiding it but I don’t even see what variable is being used if I try to examine it in dev-tools in chrome.

Ildar_Gabdullin · July 5, 2021, 10:56pm

Hi David, check this (replace red & cyan with your colors):

type: entities
entities:
  - type: custom:auto-entities
    card:
      type: custom:fold-entity-row
      padding: 0
      head:
        type: section
        label: Fritz!Box Switches and Sensors
      open: false
    filter:
      include:
        - entity_id: sensor.cleargrass_1_*
        - entity_id: switch.test_*
        - entity_id: binary_sensor.test_*
          options:
            card_mod:
              style: |
                :host {
                  --paper-item-icon-color:
                  {% if is_state(config.entity,'on') %}
                  red
                  {% else %}
                  cyan
                  {% endif %}
                  ;
                }
    show_empty: true
    sort:
      method: name

P.S. Since your "binary_sensor" is some ONE particular sensor, then you may specify it explicitly:

....
      include:
        - entity_id: sensor.cleargrass_1_*
        - entity_id: switch.test_*
        - entity_id: binary_sensor.iiyama_1_ping_availability_status
....

Also, if you need to have this connectivity sensor to be the last in the list, then move the "sort" section to lower levels:

        - entity_id: sensor.cleargrass_1_*
          sort: &ref_sort
            method: name
        - entity_id: switch.test_*
          sort: *ref_sort
        - entity_id: binary_sensor.iiyama_1_ping_availability_status

Or even you may not use card-mod at all:

      include:
        - entity_id: sensor.cleargrass_1_*
          sort: &ref_0
            method: name
        - entity_id: switch.test_*
          sort: *ref_0
        - entity_id: binary_sensor.iiyama_1_ping_availability_status
          options:
            state_color: true

DavidFW1960 · July 5, 2021, 11:13pm

Nice.

What about this one?

                - entity: binary_sensor.workday_sensor
                  card_mod:
                    style: |
                      :host {
                      --paper-item-icon-color:
                        {% if states('binary_sensor.workday_sensor') == 'on' %}
                          rgb(255, 223, 0)
                        {% else %}
                          var(--state-icon-color)
                        {% endif %}
                        ;
                      }

This works (it’s a config-template one for a different row) but if I use
is_state(config.entity, ‘on’) it doesn’t style it?

If I use state_color it didn’t used to work so far as I remember…

parautenbach · July 6, 2021, 5:22am

I wonder if it’s the function or the use of config.entity that’s not being resolved. Did you try using is_state and the hardcoded entity to see which is the issue?

DavidFW1960 · July 6, 2021, 6:05am

I didn’t try that but you might be right…
Just tried it again and it is now working… I must have stuffed something up!
