I donā€™t fancy the date and time picker changes from a few releases ago: Theyā€™re too high for my taste, so Iā€™m trying to change it. I donā€™t know if there are theme variables for this (I failed to find any), so Iā€™ve been experimenting with card mod.

I canā€™t figure out the CSS selector chain to achieve this. I even forced some changes by using the * selector for all elements and setting some property values with !important just to get some kind of effect for testing purposes. I went through the CSS selector docs and combinator docs to see if thereā€™s anything I could use.

I donā€™t think what I want to do is possible, but perhaps someone here knows (could find anything on the large card mod threads either) how to achieve this.

Here is a screenshot with the styles applied manually. The hour and minute elements must be styled separately from the AM/PM picker: I couldnā€™t get a parent element styled to do both in one go.

My card config, with one of many variations that Iā€™ve tried:

      - type: entities
        title: Schedule
        show_header_toggle: false
        entities:
          - entity: input_datetime.wake_up_time
            name: Wake-up Time
            card_mod:
              style: 
                hui-input-datetime-entity-row:
                  $:
                    hui-generic-entity-row:
                      ha-time-input:
                        $:
                          ha-base-time-input:
                            $: |
                              .value {
                                height: 3em
                              }
          - entity: input_datetime.vacation_start
            name: Vacation Start

Hi guys,

I am using dwains dashboard v3 and the cyberpunk 2077 theme.
It looks great together but dwains area cards are not labeled as ha-card.

They only have a div class and I canā€™t find out how to apply this to other ā€œcardsā€.

This is html

Card mod should be added at <div class=ā€œflex justify-between h-44 p-3 area-buttonā€ ā€¦ >

An this is the yaml code which is added right now. ha-card should be changed to .area-button.
But just this isnā€™t doing it. I think I am missing something. maybe a class before the area button.

  card-mod-card: |
    ha-card {
      border-radius: 1px;
      clip-path: polygon(
        0% 0%, 
        40px 0%, 
        45px 4px, 
        100% 4px, 
        100% calc(100% - 20px), 
        calc(100% - 20px) 100%,
        0% 100%
      );
    }

I am thankful for any help!

Iā€™m pretty sure this isnā€™t correct for starters, or at least it doesnā€™t look like anything Iā€™ve done with card-mod. But I donā€™t use Dwainā€™s Dashboard, so I might be completely off the mark here. Or maybe you are using a very old version of the card?

Check the card-mod documentation, but I would expect it to start like this:

card_mod:
  style: |
    ...<etc>

EDIT: on second thoughts, you might be trying to follow the guidance on styling cards without an <ha-card> element. But even that would look something like this (shamelessly copied from the documentation):

type: custom:mod-card
card:
  type: vertical-stack # for example
  ...
card_mod:
  style: |
    ...<etc>

@reste_narquois This is about card-mod-themes.

That would explain it - suggests OP re-posts here then.

Do not think itā€™s required.
The OP should find out how to style these Area cards first, then he could add the code into themeā€™s file - if he really needs it.

Yes itā€™s a theme. The code I put in my text is from cyberpunk theme. https://github.com/flejz/hass-cyberpunk-2077-theme
And this works for all ha-card elements.

When I try to add the same code on .area-button in developer tools it works. But I donā€™t get it to work when I change the theme yaml file. Thatswhy I posted here.

I need assistance with putting this code into the theme file.


 card-mod-card: |
    .area-button {
      border-radius: 1px;
      clip-path: polygon(
        0% 0%, 
        40px 0%, 
        45px 4px, 
        100% 4px, 
        100% calc(100% - 20px), 
        calc(100% - 20px) 100%,
        0% 100%
      );
    }

This is what I tried but I did nothing for me.

Already told you:

Place your card on some view, then try to style it with a default theme first.

OK once again. I want to style some cards of dwains dashboard. Dwains Lovelace Dashboard | An fully auto generating Home Assistant UI dashboard for desktop, tablet and mobile by Dwains for desktop, tablet, mobile
I canā€™t place the card anywhere because its an auto generating dashboard which generates these area cards from home assistant areas.

I already know the styling and it worked from google chrome developer tools. but I donā€™t know how to do it with card mod.

When I add this code

 card-mod-card: |
    .area-button {
      border-radius: 1px;
      clip-path: polygon(
        0% 0%, 
        40px 0%, 
        45px 4px, 
        100% 4px, 
        100% calc(100% - 20px), 
        calc(100% - 20px) 100%,
        0% 100%
      );
    }

to chrome dev tools the cards have a different look. But when I add this code into my theme file nothing happens. I tried different syntax to show anything from card mod theme but nothing worked for me so Iā€™m here for help.

I want the code above to be in "<card-mod slot=ā€œnoneā€ but for now there is no card mod slot on these area cards. So how Im gonna add this card mod slot?

Then I would suggest to jump over to the card-mod themes topic/thread.

@Bourner Imho this is rather rare case, I would suggest to ask this question in a thread dedicated to that auto-generated dashboard.
This case I cannot simulate; adding the Area card manually does not seem to help, I cannot see the ā€œarea-buttonā€ selector you mentioned.
Hence, do not think that moving the question to card-mod-theme thread may help.

Its not the default HA card for areas. its something from dwains dashboard.
I already asked the developer but didnā€™t get an answer so I thought this is the correct place.

So in general how would you style a div that has no ha-card element with card-mod themes?

In case of using cards w/o ha-card in a normal dashboard - place the card into mod-card (as it was already advised to you).
But since you have no control on your cards - cannot advise anything thenā€¦
Imho this auto-generated solutions may cause more problems than solutions where you have a full control.

Ok still thanks for your info. You could try Dwains Dashboard. Really nice and easy to install. I donā€™t have any trouble with this I just want to edit the theme so it looks a bit better.

How to make MDC controls input_number (ā€œboxā€ mode), input_select, input_text & input_datetime look less different from other entity rows:

MDC controls added in HA 2022.3 have a different look in comparison to other Lovelace entity rows:
1.Different rowā€™s height:

2.Different right padding for a value & UoM:
image

3.Different horizontal space between a value & UoM (see the picture above).

This post contains styles for these controls to make them look more like other entity rows (if possible).

Warning: different browsers may display input_number rows differently; here pictures from Chrome are provided by default; pictures from Firefox are provided where differences are critical; as for Safari (MacOS, iOS) - sorry, you should compare it & get thrilled by yourselfā€¦

ā€“ 2nd - contains entity rows for different domains (with & w/o secondary_info) + rows for input_number (ā€œbox modeā€), input_select, input_text & input_datetime;
ā€“ 3rd - contains ā€œsunā€ entity rows and customized rows for input_number (ā€œbox modeā€), input_select, input_text & input_datetime.

What we can see here:
1.Rows for input_number (ā€œbox modeā€), input_select, input_text & input_datetime have a bigger height than other rows. This may be fixed by customization - see a code above.
2.All other entity rows for different domains have same height.

Notes:
1.There are 2 customized rows for input_select:
ā€“ with a displayed name;
ā€“ w/o a displayed name.
2.Basic styles (incl. height) for input_number (ā€œbox modeā€), input_select, input_text & input_datetime are described here:
ā€“ input_number
ā€“ input_select
ā€“ input_text
ā€“ input_datetime - part 1, part 2
3.These test entities are used for this demo:
ā€“ input_boolean.test_boolean - any helper;
ā€“ input_number.test_number - any helper in a ā€œsliderā€ mode;
ā€“ input_number.test_number_2 - any helper in a ā€œboxā€ mode;
ā€“ input_select.test_value - any helper;
ā€“ input_text.test_text - any helper;
ā€“ input_datetime - any 3 helpers for ā€œdatetimeā€, ā€œdateā€ & ā€œtimeā€;
ā€“ sensor.processor_use - any sensor (better with UoM) (here I am using one from a ā€œsysmonitorā€ platform).

The card has 4 columns:
ā€“ 4th - contains ā€œsunā€ entity rows and used as a ā€œscaleā€;
ā€“ 1st - contains rows for input_number (ā€œbox modeā€);
ā€“ 2nd - contains rows for input_select;
ā€“ 3rd - contains rows for input_text.

Note: the card does not contain rows for input_datetime - just because my screen may show 4 columns maximum (3 for helpers, 1 for a ā€œscaleā€); examples for input_datetime will be considered later.

What we can see here:
1.All rows have same height (except 1st rows in each column which are input_number, input_select & input_text rows with a default height) - since every input_number, input_select & input_text has a customized height (see ā€œStyling a heightā€ topic above).

2.All other input_number, input_select & input_text rows have custom styles as described below.

3.Regarding the right padding for a value:
Chrome:
Only the last row for input_number w/o UoM has a same right padding as a conventional sensor row:
image
This right offset is used for a ā€œup/downā€ control:
tr_q
Unfortunately this looks totally differently on MacOS & iOS - compare it by yourselfā€¦

Alternatively - use a style to display a fieldā€™s boundaries since the right boundary has the same right padding as a conventional sensor row:
image
You can use styles Nos 1, 4, 6.

Firefox:


Since the ā€œup/downā€ control is always displayed - choose any style (Nos 1ā€¦8).

4.Regarding the right padding for a UoM, horizontal spacing between a value & UoM:
Chrome:
image
You can use styles Nos 5ā€¦8.

Firefox:


Same recommendation - use styles Nos 5ā€¦8 if you donā€™t hate these wide fields, otherwise try to decrease a fieldā€™s width - or do not use Firefoxā€¦


Custom styles for input_number w/o UoM:
1.Custom height + removed right padding.
2.Same as (1) + transparent (removed underline, transparent background).
3.Same as (2) + default underline.
4.Same as (2) + border.
5.Same as (2) + removed ā€œrippleā€ effect.
6.Same as (5) + border.
7.Same as (5) + border on hover.
8.Same as (2) + field shifted to right.

tr_q1

Styles for input_number with UoM:
1.Custom height.
2.Same as (1) + transparent (removed underline, transparent background).
3.Same as (1) + removed right padding.
4.Same as (1) + removed paddings for UoM.
5.Same as (4) + removed right padding.
6.Same as (5) + transparent (removed underline, transparent background).
7.Same as (6) + underline.
8.Same as (5) + border + custom paddings for UoM.

trsss

Styles for input_select:
1.Custom height, compacted name (label) and value.
2.Same as (1) + transparent (removed underline, transparent background).
3.Same as (2) + default underline.
4.Same as (2) + border.
5.Same as (2) + removed ā€œrippleā€ effect.
6.Same as (5) + border.
7.Same as (5) + border on hover.

tr1

Same for input_text:
tr2

Notes:
1.This style is used to wrap long names for input_number rows and may be omitted:

            hui-generic-entity-row $: |
              .info {
                text-overflow: unset !important;
                white-space: unset !important;
              }

2.These test entities are used for this demo:
ā€“ input_number.test_number_2 - any helper in a ā€œboxā€ mode;
ā€“ input_number.test_value_uom - any helper in a ā€œboxā€ mode with UoM;
ā€“ input_select.test_value - any helper;
ā€“ input_text.test_text - any helper;
ā€“ sensor.processor_use - any sensor (better with UoM) (here I am using one from a ā€œsysmonitorā€ platform).


Chosen styles may be specified in card-mod-theme, check the example below:

  card-mod-row-yaml: |

    hui-generic-entity-row:
      ha-textfield $: |
        .mdc-text-field {

          border-radius: 4px !important;
        }
        .mdc-text-field__input {
          {% if config is defined %}
            {% if config.entity is defined %}
              {% if config.entity.startswith('input_text.') %}

Hello, I would appreciate some help please, Iā€™ve tried everything I could think of and canā€™t get this to work.
I am using Mushroom, specifically the title-card. I would like to decrease the space between cards. Using the inspector, I can see that whatā€™s determining the space is:

--title-padding: var(--mush-title-padding, 24px 12px 16px);

This falls within:

<mushroom-title-card dark-mode="">

And there is the #shadow-toot (open) element above.
How would I go about changing those values?

Similarly - input_datetime rows may be added to the test card as a separate column (5 columns does not fit in my screen):

  - type: entities
    entities:
      - entity: input_datetime.test_datetime
        name: default
      - type: section

Styles for input_datetime rows:
1.Custom height, compacted name (label) and value.
2.Same as (1) + transparent (removed underline, transparent background).
3.Same as (2) + default underline.
4.Same as (2) + border.
5.Same as (2) + removed ā€œrippleā€ effect.
6.Same as (5) + border.
7.Same as (5) + border on hover.

Notes:
1.For this demo you need any input_datetime helper for ā€œdatetimeā€.
2.Possible styles for input_datetime are provided here - part 1, part 2.
3.This demo does not contain examples for ā€œtimeā€ & ā€œdateā€ helpers.
4.Results for ā€œdateā€ & ā€œtimeā€ will be similar; the only exception - do not add a ā€œalign-self: end;ā€ style since it is supposed to be used for ā€œdatetimeā€ only.


Chosen styles may be specified in card-mod-theme, check the example below (note - there is a conditional " align-self: end" style):

  card-mod-row-yaml: |

    hui-generic-entity-row:
      ha-date-input $:
        ha-textfield $: |
          .mdc-text-field {
            height: 40px !important;
            border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.5);
            border-radius: 4px !important;
          }
          .mdc-text-field__input {
            {% if config is defined %}
              {% if config.entity is defined %}
                {% if state_attr(config.entity,'has_time') %}
                  align-self: end;
                {% endif %}
              {% endif %}
            {% endif %}
          }
          .mdc-line-ripple::after,
          .mdc-line-ripple::before {
            border-bottom-style: none !important;
          }
        .: |
          ha-textfield {
            display: flex;
          }
      ha-time-input $ ha-base-time-input $:
        ha-textfield:
          $: |
            .mdc-text-field {
              height: 40px !important;
            }
            .mdc-line-ripple::after,
            .mdc-line-ripple::before {
              border-bottom-style: none !important;
            }
        ha-select $: |
          .mdc-select__anchor {
            height: 40px !important;
          }
          .mdc-line-ripple::after,
          .mdc-line-ripple::before {
            border-bottom-style: none !important;
          }

    .: |

      ha-date-input {
        height: 40px;
        --mdc-text-field-fill-color: transparent;
        --mdc-select-fill-color: transparent;
        flex-grow: 10;
      }
      ha-time-input {
        height: 38px;
        border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.5);
        border-radius: 4px !important;
        --mdc-text-field-fill-color: transparent;
        --mdc-select-fill-color: transparent;
      }

Result with this theme (combined with a similar theme for input_number, input_select, input_text):

Hello, thanks for this powerful tool.
Unfortunately, for me card-mod is a little bit unreliable. I use two Raspi 3B+ with displays for my smart home. The lovelace ui is displayed with chromium. The card-mod modifications are not always shown. I can reproduce this with my desktop computer using chrome. If I reload the page with F5, every now and then the mod is not applied. I added an example here.
The date and time string should be showed with bold font. As you can see, in the working case card-mod is part of the source code. After pressing F5 some times, the font is normal and the card-mod has disappeared from the source code.
What can I do?
