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

Yes it’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 don’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 can’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 don’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 I’m here for help.

I want the code above to be in "<card-mod slot=“none” 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 “area-button” 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 didn’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 then…
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 don’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 (“box” 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 row’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 yourself…

      - *ref_scale_card

The card has 4 columns:
– 1st & 4th - contain “sun” entity rows and used as a “scale”;
– 2nd - contains entity rows for different domains (with & w/o secondary_info) + rows for input_number (“box mode”), input_select, input_text & input_datetime;
– 3rd - contains “sun” entity rows and customized rows for input_number (“box mode”), input_select, input_text & input_datetime.

What we can see here:
1.Rows for input_number (“box mode”), 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:
– with a displayed name;
– w/o a displayed name.
2.Basic styles (incl. height) for input_number (“box mode”), input_select, input_text & input_datetime are described here:
input_number
input_select
input_text
– input_datetime - part 1, part 2
3.These test entities are used for this demo:
– input_boolean.test_boolean - any helper;
– input_number.test_number - any helper in a “slider” mode;
– input_number.test_number_2 - any helper in a “box” mode;
– input_select.test_value - any helper;
– input_text.test_text - any helper;
– input_datetime - any 3 helpers for “datetime”, “date” & “time”;
– sensor.processor_use - any sensor (better with UoM) (here I am using one from a “sysmonitor” platform).

The card has 4 columns:
– 4th - contains “sun” entity rows and used as a “scale”;
– 1st - contains rows for input_number (“box mode”);
– 2nd - contains rows for input_select;
– 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 “scale”); 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 “Styling a height” 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 “up/down” control:
tr_q
Unfortunately this looks totally differently on MacOS & iOS - compare it by yourself…

Alternatively - use a style to display a field’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 “up/down” control is always displayed - choose any style (Nos 1…8).

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

Firefox:


Same recommendation - use styles Nos 5…8 if you don’t hate these wide fields, otherwise try to decrease a field’s width - or do not use Firefox…


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 “ripple” 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 “ripple” 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:
– input_number.test_number_2 - any helper in a “box” mode;
– input_number.test_value_uom - any helper in a “box” mode with UoM;
– input_select.test_value - any helper;
– input_text.test_text - any helper;
– sensor.processor_use - any sensor (better with UoM) (here I am using one from a “sysmonitor” platform).


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

  card-mod-row-yaml: |

Hello, I would appreciate some help please, I’ve tried everything I could think of and can’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 what’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):

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 “ripple” 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 “datetime”.
2.Possible styles for input_datetime are provided here - part 1, part 2.
3.This demo does not contain examples for “time” & “date” helpers.
4.Results for “date” & “time” will be similar; the only exception - do not add a “align-self: end;” style since it is supposed to be used for “datetime” only.


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

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?

Post a code for the mod which is unstable.

Styling an "input_datetime" row (part 1) (part 2 is here)

Notes:
1.There are 3 types of input_datetime entity:
– date & time;
– date;
– time.
This tutorial contains examples for each type.
2.A user may use either “12H (AM/PM)” or “24H” time format. Both cases are considered.
3.Screenshots are made in Chrome.


Colored name (time, date):
Two methods are available:
– using a short “:host” navigation;
– using a detailed DOM navigation.

Note: these styles do not affect on “secondary-info”.

Colored name (datetime):
Two methods are available:
– using a CSS property with a detailed DOM navigation;
– using a CSS variable.

Notes:
1.The 1st method - allows to change a color permanently (whether the input field is selected or not).
2.The 2nd method - the name’s color changes if an input field is selected (from “--mdc-text-field-label-ink-color” to “--mdc-theme-primary”).
3.A popup window to select a date is not shown on a video.

Two methods are available:
– using a “:host” navigation;
– using a detailed DOM navigation.

Notes:
1.The 1st method - may be used to define a same color for all “text” fields (date, time) and another color for a “select” field (“AM/PM”).
2.The 2nd method - may be used to define colors individually for all “text” fields (date, time) and another color for a “select” field (“AM/PM”).

Colored underline:
The underline had 3 possible states:
– a default (static) state;
– the input field is hovered by a mouse;
– the input field is selected by a mouse.

There are CSS variables for each state.
In the example below:
– the 1st row is modded by using these CSS variables;
– the 2nd row is modded by changing CSS properties with a detailed DOM navigation;
– the 3rd row has transparent underlines.

Two methods may be used - see a difference between them:

Making the name hidden or more compact (datetime):
Since the row has a bigger height than other entity rows, we may want to make a row more compact.
First, we need to customize the row’s height.
Next, there are 2 options for a name & a value:
– remove the name;
– place the name and the value closer to each other.

How to disable a row:
Two methods are available:
– the row is displayed as disabled;
– the row only has a read-only input field.

Both of my mods are affected:

type: entity
entity: sensor.date_time
name: Datum & Uhrzeit
icon: calendar-clock
card_mod: null
style: |
  ha-card {
    font-weight: bold;
  }

type: entity
entity: sensor.abfallnaechster
icon: mdi:trash-can
name: Nächste Abfuhrtermin
card_mod: null
style: |
  ha-card {
  {% if is_state(config.entity, "Morgen") %}
    color: orange;
  {% elif is_state(config.entity, "Heute") %}
    color: red;
    font-weight: bold;
    --mdc-icon-size: 50px;
  {% endif %}
  }
  .header .icon {
  {% if is_state(config.entity, "Morgen") %}
    color: orange;
  {% elif is_state(config.entity, "Heute") %}
    color: red;
  {% endif %}
  }

First of all have a look here

card_mod: null
style: |

and do it as expected:

card_mod:
  style: |

Tried it in the code editor, but “null” is automatically added after saving:
card-mod

Because “style” keyword is wrongly indented.

I suggest you to specify this style to a particular element instead of the whole card (anyway currently it does not affect all elements, only some of them).

Check 1st post → link at the bottom → styles for Entity card.

BTW, your code works stable in my setup:
– replaced your sensor with some input_boolean;
– used a “if … else …” construction instead of your “if … elif …”.
Just in case - clean a browser’s cache, check if the latest card-mod is installed.
