🔹 Card-mod - Super-charge your themes!

Mariusthvdb · January 30, 2022, 5:57pm

Yes, I know you told me, but things often kick in when you find it yourself…

So, I reported back so you could see and comment. Thanks for that.

I did already try what you do for the vacuum card, but probably missed a shadow root, or maybe got the syntax wrong.

Ill redo the work and will let you know, thanks again !

          }

…

it was way more simple than I supposed at first.
very nice!
would be cool if we could somehow wildcard that, but I believe I havent seen that before.

Mariusthvdb · January 30, 2022, 6:31pm

new post for new search:

what has always bothered me is that on many entities I don’t have recorder enabled, so I see:

this is not an error, there simply is no history nor logbook entry for that entity. I’ve asked the frontend team before, but they say they can not prevent this, because the frontend doesn’t know about the backend.

Now, with card-mod we see ha-more-info-history and ha-more-info-logbook, and their respective div class="info",

and for logbook that is a bit different:

the div is actually called no-entries

what is was wondering, is whether we can set display: none to ha-more-info-history if the info == ‘No state history found.’ ?

or can we not get that info in a jinja template?

would you know?

arganto · January 30, 2022, 7:01pm

As these are different shadow root levels, I don’t think, that you can do this with card-mod and css.

Don’t know.

Why?

Mariusthvdb · January 30, 2022, 8:52pm

ok thanks, I might have to try another way, or maybe give up…

to save resources. I am running on a Pi4, have over 3700 entities and Ha makes that worse in each release (moving from attributes to entities). I try to minimize the recorder usage.

@Ildar_Gabdullin @Mattias_Persson

finally I got this:

    card-mod-root-yaml: |
      paper-tab[aria-label='Presence'] ha-icon $ ha-svg-icon $: |
        path {
        {% if is_state('input_boolean.test', 'on') %}
           d: path('M16,7V3H14V7H10V3H8V7H8C7,7 6,8 6,9V14.5L9.5,18V21H14.5V18L18,14.5V9C18,8 17,7 16,7Z');
        {% else %}
           d: path('M20.84 22.73L15.31 17.2L14.5 18V21H9.5V18L6 14.5V9C6 8.7 6.1 8.41 6.25 8.14L1.11 3L2.39 1.73L22.11 21.46L20.84 22.73M18 14.5V9C18 8 17 7 16 7V3H14V7H10.2L17.85 14.65L18 14.5M10 3H8V4.8L10 6.8V3Z');
        {% endif %}
        }

to work, and have a color set for that icon under the .: | section using

        paper-tab[aria-label='Presence'] {
          color: {{state_attr('sensor.family_home','icon_color')}};
        }

so that’s a start. However, and its a big caveat, it only works in Chrome… No way I can get it to show in my Safari browser or my App just yet. The app might be a cache thing, always hard to reset that. But Safari is always immediate, so a problem still…

Mattias’s style does work after all, I had positioned in the wrong section:

    card-mod-root-yaml: |
      paper-tab[aria-label='Presence'] ha-icon$: |
        ha-svg-icon {
        {% if is_state('input_boolean.test', 'on') %}
           content: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg viewBox='0 0 24 24' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%3E%3Cpath fill='green' d='M16,7V3H14V7H10V3H8V7H8C7,7 6,8 6,9V14.5L9.5,18V21H14.5V18L18,14.5V9C18,8 17,7 16,7Z'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
        {% else %}
           content: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg viewBox='0 0 24 24' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%3E%3Cpath fill='gray' d='M20.84 22.73L15.31 17.2L14.5 18V21H9.5V18L6 14.5V9C6 8.7 6.1 8.41 6.25 8.14L1.11 3L2.39 1.73L22.11 21.46L20.84 22.73M18 14.5V9C18 8 17 7 16 7V3H14V7H10.2L17.85 14.65L18 14.5M10 3H8V4.8L10 6.8V3Z'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
        {% endif %}
        }

but, always something, this doesnt work with the color set under the .: |

If this turns out to be the only browser wide syntax to get the icon to change, I must add the color in the content, like Mattias did above for those icons I want to change.

there’s another issue though,

if I change the working test config for the tab ['Presence'] to another ['Settings motion'] (which does work in the coloring templates, card_mod throw an error

hmm. not sure if this is worth the trouble pursuing… feels a bit too ,much of a hack, while the motto is we’re streamlining…

Maybe we should try to carve out the functionality of the old Custom Header, if only for this.

@Mariusthvdb
Sorry for not answering - was busy with restoring my HA setup, many things broke after some latest updates.

Now I faced with a weird bug with card-mod-theme.

Let’s create this card:

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: sensor.service_unavailable_value
  - entity: zone.home
    card_mod:
      class: class-row-red
  - type: custom:fold-entity-row
    head:
      entity: sun.sun
    open: true
    card_mod:
      style: |
        div#head {
          color: red !important;
        }
    entities:
      - sun.sun
      - sun.sun
      - sun.sun

Note that:

sensor.service_unavailable_value is always unavailable;
class-row-red does not work w/o a card-mod-theme.

Then let’s create a simple card-mod-theme:

cm_minimal:

  card-mod-row-yaml: |
    .: |

      :host(.class-row-red) {
        color: red;
        --paper-item-icon-color: red;
      }

      hui-generic-entity-row .text-content {
        {% if states(config.entity) in ['unavailable','unknown'] %}
          color: var(--state-unavailable-color);
        {% endif %}
      }

Now the card looks like:

The theme styles are applied, the “div#head” style is not applied:

Now let’s change a theme - remove the 2nd style:

cm_minimal:

  card-mod-row-yaml: |
    .: |

      :host(.class-row-red) {
        color: red;
        --paper-item-icon-color: red;
      }

And now the card looks like:

The only left theme style is applied, the “div#head” style is applied too:

Why is this happening?

P.S. I reinstalled fold-entity-row, cleaned a cache with no effect.

I have this theme made:

I see in the developers’ tools that the background image is added but overridden by the primary-background-color.

Knipsel

But can not find out where this is and why?

Mariusthvdb · February 17, 2022, 4:15pm

not using the class option at all just yet, so I figure let’s start with something that’s system wide in my config.

  card-mod-card: |
    .card-header {
      font-weight: 300;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      /*background: radial-gradient(var(--primary-color),var(--card-background-color));*/
    }

is what I use for all my headers, and in every individual card I add:

card_mod:
  style: |
    .card-header {
      background-color: var(--background-color-off);
      color: var(--text-color-off);
      padding-top: 0px;
      padding-bottom: 0px;
      margin: 0px 0px 16px 0px;
    }

or that exact same thing, but without a margin line.

which I guess would be globalized to:

  card-mod-card: |
    .card-header(.class-header-margin) {
      font-weight: 300;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      background-color: var(--background-color-off);
      color: var(--text-color-off);
      padding-top: 0px;
      padding-bottom: 0px;
      margin: 0px 0px 16px 0px;
    }

    .card-header(.class-header-no-margin) {
      font-weight: 300;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      background-color: var(--background-color-off);
      color: var(--text-color-off);
      padding-top: 0px;
      padding-bottom: 0px;
    }

however, if I try to use those in my card configs like

type: entities
title: Hue motion sensor switches
state_color: true
show_header_toggle: true
card_mod:
  class: class-header-no-margin

or

type: entities
title: Hue motion sensor switches
state_color: true
show_header_toggle: true
class: class-header-no-margin

nothing happens…
is there some syntax error here?
please have a look, thanks!

Peixotocta1 · February 20, 2022, 9:22am

Hello. I’m looking for help.
I’m trying to change the text color in the state badge according with the sensor state but can’t find the solution.
Can anyone help me?
That’s my configuration, and I want when the window is open(aberta) the color of the letters change to green.
Thanks

Ildar_Gabdullin · February 20, 2022, 11:17am

This is not about card-mod-theme, you should ask these questions in another topic.
Your case was described here.

Peixotocta1 · February 20, 2022, 3:41pm

Thank you for your help.

Ildar_Gabdullin · February 20, 2022, 9:12pm

@Mariusthvdb
AFAIK class is a property of a whole card - not it’s header.

cm_card_class:

  card-mod-card-yaml: |
    .: |
      ha-card.class-card-1.type-entities .card-header {
        background-color: grey;
        color: red;
      }

  - type: entities
    title: class-1
    card_mod:
      class: class-card-1
    entities:
      - entity: sun.sun
      - entity: sun.sun

Ildar_Gabdullin · February 21, 2022, 12:55pm

Answering from a mobile, not sure - but just in case try adding !important

Mariusthvdb · February 21, 2022, 2:22pm

thanks Ildar, this is promising indeed!
Because I need these on more than only type: entities cards, I tested:

    card-mod-card-yaml: |
      .: |
        ha-card.class-header-margin .card-header {
          font-weight: 300;
          letter-spacing: 0px;
          background-color: var(--background-color-off);
          color: var(--text-color-off);
          padding-top: 0px;
          padding-bottom: 0px;
          margin: 0px 0px 16px 0px;
        }

        ha-card.class-header-no-margin .card-header {
          font-weight: 300;
          letter-spacing: 0px;
          background-color: var(--background-color-off);
          color: var(--text-color-off);
          padding-top: 0px;
          padding-bottom: 0px;
        }

too, and this seems to work fine.

only thing this blocks now is another default card header:

  card-mod-card: |
    .card-header {
      font-weight: 300;
      letter-spacing: 0px;
      /*background: radial-gradient(var(--primary-color),var(--card-background-color));*/
    }

so all my cards without the class now cant use this anymore… always a challenge

Ildar_Gabdullin · February 21, 2022, 2:36pm

Combine two styles in one card-mod-card-yaml

Mariusthvdb · February 21, 2022, 2:43pm

I dont think I follow.

what I need:

the 2 different classes, to set on many of my cards.
the default mod, which needs to be applied to all card with a header, so also the ones without any of the 2 classes above

before I used the 2 classes, the card-mod-card was active on all cards (as I want) and I set extra header mods in the individual cards verbosely. I now want to do that with the 2 classes.

I think this works:

    card-mod-card-yaml: |
      .: |
        ha-card.class-header-margin .card-header {
          background-color: var(--background-color-off);
          color: var(--text-color-off);
          padding-top: 0px;
          padding-bottom: 0px;
          margin: 0px 0px 16px 0px;
        }

        ha-card.class-header-no-margin .card-header {
          background-color: var(--background-color-off);
          color: var(--text-color-off);
          padding-top: 0px;
          padding-bottom: 0px;
        }

        ha-card .card-header {
          font-weight: 300;
          letter-spacing: 0px;
          /*background: radial-gradient(var(--primary-color),var(--card-background-color));*/
        }

which is kind of cool, and even allows me to do this now:

  - type: custom:auto-entities
    card:
      type: entities
      title: Running Automations
      card_mod: &header
        class: class-header-margin
        style: |
          .card-content {
            max-height: 400px;
            overflow-y: scroll;
          }

(set the (now generic) class, and an additional scrolling mod in the individual card). Really nice!

To make some more magic, I copy that complete set with an anchor to several cards below

Ildar_Gabdullin · February 21, 2022, 8:02pm

This is what I was talking about - describe 2 class-card and 1 default card:

  - type: vertical-stack
    title: class-card
    cards:
      - type: entities
        title: class-1
        card_mod:
          class: class-card-1
        entities: &ref_entities
          - entity: sun.sun
          - entity: sun.sun
            card_mod:
              class: class-row-red
      - type: entities
        title: class-2
        card_mod:
          class: class-card-2
        entities: *ref_entities
      - type: entities
        title: default
        entities: *ref_entities

cm_card_class:

  card-mod-card-yaml: |
    .: |
      ha-card.class-card-1.type-entities .card-header {
        background-color: grey;
        color: red;
      }
      ha-card.class-card-2.type-entities .card-header {
        background-color: yellow;
        color: magenta;
      }
      ha-card.type-entities .card-header {
        background-color: green;
        color: cyan;
      }

  card-mod-row-yaml: |
    .: |
      :host(.class-row-red) {
        color: red;
        --paper-item-icon-color: red;
      }

Mariusthvdb · February 21, 2022, 9:54pm

well, thats what I did in my post above yours, so yep, confirm that to be working just fine now.

even without the .type-entities

Ive updated my gist with what I use currently

ATasker · February 22, 2022, 9:17pm

After much searching I didn’t find any recommendations on how to do this.

The code below allows you to change the CSS of an Icon in the Lovelace Header based on a particular state.

  card-mod-theme: ios-dark-mode
  card-mod-root: |
      paper-tab[aria-label="Heating"] {
          {% if ( (states('climate.bedroomheatpump') != 'off') or (states('climate.loungeheatpump') != 'off') ) %}
          color: orange;
          {% endif %}
        	}

A couple of explanations.

The [aria-label=“Heating”] filters the CSS to only apply to the paper-tab div that meets that attribute. You can read more on CSS attribute selection here: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/css-attribute-selector/

The JINJA2 then tests a regular IF statement to apply the CSS

Mariusthvdb · February 28, 2022, 10:45pm

so I suddenly experienced odd behavior in 1 of my dashboards on mobile (not on desktop) where my tab icons could no longer move left/right, even though the chevrons are visible.

Turns out this template caused it:

        /* only show when on Chrome (a bit if a hack since we dont have 'this.device_id' */
        paper-tab[aria-label='Cast'] {
          {% set device = 'sensor.browser_chrome_nc' %}
          {% if states(device) in ['unavailable','unknown'] or
                is_state_attr(device,'visibility','hidden') %} display: none
          {% elif not is_state_attr(device,'path','/ui-develop/cast') %} color: blue
          {% else %} color: red
          {% endif %};
        }

even though it works perfectly in itself, showing/hiding/coloring the icon as per conditions.

which was as good as it could get, trying to show the Cast tab only on a Chrome browser. I still dont understand why it interferes with the regular app-header behavior, but it did.

If anyone could explain, please dont hold back
