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

You are mixing button-card and card-mod.

Offcourse I am, sorry

[efaden (Eric Faden)]

Could use a little help here. Not sure if I need to use card_mod, but I think I do. I have a bunch of button-cards that are within a layout-card. Despite my best efforts with the button-card and layout-card the buttons seem to be inheriting their margins from a #root > * set to “var(–masonry-view-card-margin, 4px 4px 8px)”. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get card_mod to overwrite this property with a 0.

I was able to do it in a theme by setting the masonry variable to 0, but I’d like to just do it for the cards themselves. Any help appreciated.

I did try

            card_mod:
              style: |
                ha-card {
                  margin: 0px;
                }

on the button card, but it doesn’t work. When I explore the elements in the dev tools and set margin: 0px on the object that works, but I can’t seem to translate that to card_mod

[VietNgoc (Ngoc John)]

you can add extra_styles to button card template

    extra_styles: |
      :host {
        --masonry-view-card-margin: 0 !important;
      }

or with card_mod

card_mod:
  style: |
    :host {
      --masonry-view-card-margin: 0 !important;
    }

[LiQuid_cOOled]

You can add margin: edits directly under for button cards.

styles:
    card:
      - margin: 0px

type: custom:button-card
      entity: light.bathroom_lights
      show_name: true
      name: Card Example
      icon: mdi:lamp
      aspect_ratio: 2/1
      tap_action:
        action: toggle
      styles:
        card:
          - background-color: blue
          - margin: 0px
        icon:
          - height: 100%
          - color: orange

How can I get the 1 and 2 lower ?

              style: |
                ha-card {

                    left: 0;
                    width: 100%;
                    display: flex;
                    justify-content: center;
                    padding-bottom: 0px
                }   

[Jojo-A]

Hi and thank you a lot for being so patient and willing to help! This is highly appreciated!

I’d be happy if anyone could have a look at my problem.
Goal: I like to have the font of a glance card bold as well as the margin between icon and text to a defined value.
Both things work separately (thanks to this forum):

        card_mod:
          style: |
              ha-card {
                font-weight: bold
              }

leads to bold font::

and:

          card_mod:
            style:
              .entities .entity:
                $: |
                  state-badge {
                    margin-top: 50px;
                    margin-bottom: 0px;
                  }

leads to an adjustable margin:

I don’t understand anything of CSS coding style, but I really tried many many combinations - no chance.

So how do I combine both?

Thanks a lot in advance!

[LiQuid_cOOled]

Is this what you are after?

card_mod:
     style:
        .entities .entity:
           $: |
            state-badge {
               margin-top: 15px;
               margin-bottom: 0px;
                 }
        .:  |
          ha-card {
           font-weight: bold;
                 }

[Jojo-A]

Awesome, thank you!

I really should try to understand that

The code above has been applied to glance cards. Do you also know how to do it for button cards? And if yes: where can I find this information by myself?

Cheers

[Jojo-A]

Yes, I already came across that one. But I hoped that it would be possible without installing an additional custom card type.
But doesn’t it make the approach to use CSS styling on build-in cards obsolete if one installs dedicated card that fulfill the desired features?

From my point of view it is more “consistent” to stick to one approach.

[LiQuid_cOOled]

I misunderstood…I’m not sure about the standard button card. Didn’t see much in the guide on this post when reading through it.

[efaden (Eric Faden)]

I had actually tried changing the margin in both the template and directly on the button and it didn’t do anything.

[efaden (Eric Faden)]

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks

Alright, no problem. Thank you anyway!

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

just found the header link icon in history-graph cards, and tbh, it was unthemed, and didnt look nice at all.
So, I wanted to hide it, which works with display: none.
Add a boolean toggle, and control it from the UI.

next I needed it to be in style with my themes, so set primary-color on the icon. seems nice:

    .card-header ha-icon-button {
      --card-mod-icon-color: var(--primary-color);
      {{'display: none' if is_state('input_boolean.hide_history_graph_link','on')}};
    }

if would hope to find a theme variable for the icon, so we wont need to see it in a card_mod for each individual card.

Did anyone find that yet?

default icon:

no icon:

themed icon:
