@arganto please forgive my tag, but youāre the one I remember having discussed several menu-items toggle with me.
mwc-list-item[aria-label="Zoeken"] {
{% if is_state('input_boolean.hide_search','on') %}
display: none;
{% endif %}
}
doesnt work, because there is no label on the Search item. Would you know another way to do so? Meanwhile Ill ask Philip if the menu item an get a label 
Can you point me to place/DOM, where I can find it? Then I have less to search.
that would be
#layout > app-header > app-toolbar > ha-button-menu > mwc-list-item:nth-child(2)```
although the silliest thing just happened: the mdi:loupe now doesnt show anymore, nor does the menu item āSearchāā¦ huh
So you are talking about the mobile/slim view, where the search you want to hide is in threedotmenu?
Then you can use e.g. the path you have posted, the child(2)-way. If this is always the case this way.
Didnāt we have exactly this already in the past? 
At least I have this already commented out in my theme from the last tests for you.
Yes, I thought so too but then I saw the Search item pop up and figured something might have changed ā¦
Styling sidebar
Some time ago I realized that undocumented "card-mod-sidebar" is supported.
Here some examples of useful / useless styles.
Styling āmenuā button:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
.menu ha-icon-button {
color: red !important;
--mdc-icon-size: 10px;
}
.menu .title {
color: cyan;
}
Additional info instead of the āmain titleā:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
.menu .title {
display: none !important;
}
.menu:after {
content: "Issues: {{states('input_number.test_number_2')|float(default=0)|round(0)}}";
margin-left: 16px;
}
Here "input_number.test_number_2" stands for a number of HA issues.
Additional info below the āmain titleā:
If some HA issues detected:
If no issues:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
.menu .title:after {
content: "{% if states('input_number.test_number_2')|float(default=0) > 0 -%}
\A Issues: {{states('input_number.test_number_2')|float(default=0)|round(0)}}
{%- endif %}";
white-space: pre;
font-size: 12px;
display: block;
line-height: 4px;
color: red;
}
Sidebarās background & icons:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
:host {
background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;
}
.iron-selected paper-icon-item {
background: yellow;
}
.iron-selected paper-icon-item ha-icon {
color: red !important;
}
Sidebarās background & icons while hovering:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a:hover paper-icon-item ha-icon {
color: red !important;
}
a:hover paper-icon-item .item-text{
color: red;
}
a:hover paper-icon-item {
background: yellow;
}
Customizing a particular menu item: (fill free to select colors yourself, this is not about a design)
If security mode ON, no security issues detected:
If security mode ON, some security issues detected:
If security mode OFF:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item ha-icon {
{% if is_state('input_boolean.test_boolean','off') %}
color: yellow !important;
{% else %}
{% if states('input_number.test_number_2')|float(default=0) > 0 %}
color: red !important;
{% else %}
color: green !important;
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
}
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item .item-text {
color: cyan;
}
Here "input_boolean.test_boolean" stands for āsecurity mode ONā, "input_number.test_number_2" for a number of security issues.
Alternatively - a blinking menu item (+changed icon !!!) when issues are detected:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item {
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.security_mode_guarded_home','off') %}
{% set COLOR = 'rgb(250,218,67)' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-off' %}
{% else %}
{% if states('sensor.security_number_of_issues')|float(default=0) > 0 %}
{% set COLOR = 'red' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-alert' %}
animation: blinkhard 1.5s linear infinite;
{% else %}
{% set COLOR = 'green' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-check' %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
--sidebar-text-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-selected-text-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-selected-icon-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-icon-color: {{COLOR}};
--card-mod-icon: {{ICON}};
}
@keyframes blinkhard {
0%,49% {
opacity: 0;
}
50%,100% {
opacity: 1;
}
}
or even with added additional info:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item {
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.security_mode_guarded_home','off') %}
{% set COLOR = 'rgb(250,218,67)' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-off' %}
{% else %}
{% if states('sensor.security_number_of_issues')|float(default=0) > 0 %}
{% set COLOR = 'red' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-alert' %}
animation: blinkhard 1.5s linear infinite;
{% else %}
{% set COLOR = 'green' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-check' %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
--sidebar-text-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-selected-text-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-selected-icon-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-icon-color: {{COLOR}};
--card-mod-icon: {{ICON}};
}
@keyframes blinkhard {
0%,49% {
opacity: 0;
}
50%,100% {
opacity: 1;
}
}
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item .item-text:after {
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.security_mode_guarded_home','off') %}
{% set STATE = 'OFF' %}
{% else %}
{% if states('sensor.security_number_of_issues_home')|float(default=0) > 0 %}
{% set STATE = 'ON (' + states('sensor.security_number_of_issues_home') + ' issues)' %}
{% else %}
{% set STATE = 'ON' %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
content: "\A {{STATE}}";
font-size: 11px;
white-space: pre;
}
or even with a badge:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item {
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.security_mode_guarded_home','off') %}
{% set COLOR = 'var(--theme-security-off)' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-off' %}
{% else %}
{% if states('sensor.security_number_of_issues_home')|float(default=0) > 0 %}
{% set COLOR = 'var(--theme-security-issues)' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-alert' %}
{% else %}
{% set COLOR = 'var(--theme-security-on)' %}
{% set ICON = 'mdi:shield-check' %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
--sidebar-text-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-selected-text-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-selected-icon-color: {{COLOR}};
--sidebar-icon-color: {{COLOR}};
--card-mod-icon: {{ICON}};
}
a[data-panel='lovelace-security'] paper-icon-item:after {
{% set NUMBER_OF_ISSUES = states('sensor.security_number_of_issues_home')|float(default=0) %}
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.security_mode_guarded_home','on') and NUMBER_OF_ISSUES > 0 %}
content: "{{NUMBER_OF_ISSUES|round(0)}}";
{% if NUMBER_OF_ISSUES < 10 %}
font-size: 14px;
padding: 0px 6px;
{% elif NUMBER_OF_ISSUES >= 10 and NUMBER_OF_ISSUES < 100 %}
font-size: 11px;
padding: 0px 4px;
{% elif NUMBER_OF_ISSUES >= 100 and NUMBER_OF_ISSUES < 1000 %}
font-size: 8px;
padding: 0px 3px;
{% else %}
font-size: 6px;
padding: 0px 2px;
{% endif %}

A small addition: how to animate an icon only:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='lovelace-settings'] paper-icon-item ha-icon {
animation: spin 3s infinite linear;

@keyframes spin {

the issue I made some months ago was re-openend: Search menu item on Mobile doesnt get an aria-label Ā· Issue #12659 Ā· home-assistant/frontend Ā· GitHub
please chime in if you could, with some additional maybe more detailed info than I could suggest?
btw, what was the purpose of
a.menu-link[target="_blank"] {
display: none;
}
I can not see a change in the menu bar, so wonder if this is still doing something?
/* Hide the quickbar launcher. */
app-toolbar > ha-icon-button {
display: {{'none' if not is_state('input_select.mode','Developer')}};
}
works just fine showing/hiding the loupe in the menu bar depending on the mode selector.
This is from me? And/or where does it come from? The purpose of such is to select an attribute or the content of an attribute. Same es for the aria attribute as well.
no it isnt from you! sorry, didnt imply that, it was from KTibow š¹ Card-mod - Super-charge your themes! - #408 by KTibow
read the comment:
/* This hides the help button. */
a.menu-link[target="_blank"] {
display: none;
}
missed that earlier in my copy.
update
still havent found the Help icon in the menu though, where is thatā¦?
update 2
its the help icon when in UI editing mode, linking to the dashboard settings in the documentationā¦
this is so nice, and so what I have been looking for, thanks!
started experimenting small with
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='ui-data'] paper-icon-item ha-icon {
color: {% if states('sensor.netto_verbruik')|int(default=0) < 0 %} var(--primary-color)
{% else %} var(--text-color-off)
{% endif %};
}
and see only a whitened icon in the menu. When I change that to html color names, it works fine:
card-mod-sidebar-yaml: |
.: |
a[data-panel='ui-data'] paper-icon-item ha-icon {
color: {% if states('sensor.netto_verbruik')|int(default=0) < 0 %} gold;
{% else %} brown;
{% endif %}
}
apparently, there are issues using the color vars declared in the main theme. Could that be an inheritance order issue? I mean, the main theme starts with the card-mod-theme line, and only below that, the theme variables are declared.
No, vars work fine on my case.
Iām getting some weird aliasing artifacts on the .bar class sitting on top of the .path class, where the grey path is showing through the anti-alias shading of the bar.
I attempted to fix this by widening the stroke on .bar, but I canāt seem to target it. Hereās the structure, and below that are some of the various ways Iāve tried targeting .bar with no luck.
card-mod CSS:
card-mod-card:
.bar {
stroke-width: 5px;
}
Some things I have tried (these methods have worked for the majority of the other things Iāve tried):
.bar
.slider.bar
g.slider.bar
g.slider > .bar
path.bar
g.slider > path.bar
ha-card > .bar
etc.
The shadow DOM still confuses the crap out of me, and Iām not a real web developer. Iāve learned everything via trial and error, so any patient help would be appreciated.
Iām very bad with CSS and I tried my best to adapt the airy theme provided in GitHub but nothing is working as Iād like.
What I want are the #badges section at the bottom of the page and I canāt figure how to do it.
I deleted everything I tried and now here is my theme (at least the beginning of the file, ready to try whatever could possibly work.
midnight2:
card-mod-theme: midnight2
card-mod-view-yaml: |
"*:first-child$": |
#badges {
}
I know that this where I should put something, in airy it is:
padding: 8px;
display: flex !important;
justify-content: start;
flex-direction: column;
and it is a column on the left.
What Iāve tried so far to push it to the bottom of the screen (not changing anything else):
Change column to row and center, that does work:
flex-direction: row
justify-content: center;
Put it down, that doesnāt work
position: absolute; /* fixed is not working */
bottom: 15px;
This is not working either
align-items: end;
Iām very sure that someone will find a very easy solution but as my CSS knowledge is very limited, Iām about to give up. Please help me.
I have used your code and had same problem. Fixed it with changing top to auto.
header is higher in edit mode so fixed height wont work
app-header {
top: auto !important; /* THIS
bottom: 0 !important;
transform: unset !important;

Custom CSS on the sidebar and header bar is not loading unless a dashboard has loaded first. For instance, if I refresh on the Settings or Apps page, no custom CSS loads. I have to navigate to a dashboard and back to see the CSS load. Is this a known issue? I think I took it for granted, but someone logged a bug on my theme and figured I should do the due diligence. Iāve not seen this in the documentation or the issue tracker for card-mod.
Badges in a header:
card-mod-root-yaml: |
.: |
paper-tab[aria-label='badge_in_tab'] ha-icon:after {
{% set NUMBER = states('input_number.test_number')|float(default=0) %}
{% if NUMBER > 0 %}
content: "{{NUMBER|round(0)}}";
{% if NUMBER < 10 %}
font-size: 14px;
padding: 0px 6px;
{% elif NUMBER >= 10 and NUMBER < 100 %}
font-size: 11px;
padding: 0px 4px;
{% elif NUMBER >= 100 and NUMBER < 1000 %}
font-size: 8px;
padding: 0px 3px;
{% else %}
font-size: 6px;
padding: 0px 2px;
{% endif %}
font-weight: 400;
left: calc(var(--mdc-icon-size,24px) / 2);
top: calc(var(--mdc-icon-size,24px) / 2);
position: absolute;

border-radius: 50%;
background-color: var(--accent-color);
text-align: center;
{% endif %}
}
Update: checked in 2023.2.5
Team,
I would like to increase the size of lovelace view ICONS.
In HTML I can make a change that does exactly what I want but the question is: (how) can this be done in the theme YAML?
:host {
display: var(--ha-icon-display, inline-flex);
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;
fill: currentcolor;
width: var(--mdc-icon-size, 44px);
height: var(--mdc-icon-size, 24px);
The big change is the width: from 24px to 44px. Result:
instead of
The text is fine as is.
Any idea how I can make these icons appear BIGGER?
How to change a headerās icon size:
card-mod-root-yaml: |
.: |
paper-tab[aria-label='changed_header_4'] ha-icon {
--mdc-icon-size: 10px;
}
now aria-labels are no longer available in the menu items, the former mods to en/disable specific items are no longer functional either.
Cuould we use the actual Name of those menu items, maybe based on this #text:
still using this for the selected tab:
/* Set the color of the currently selected tab indicator.
Set size of the currently selected tab icon*/
paper-tab[aria-selected=true] {
color: gold;
background-color: rgba(var(--primary),0.3);
--mdc-icon-size: {{states('input_number.active_icon_size')}}px;
}
and that works really nice and makes the current tab stand out just that bit
Still trying to put the badge section at the bottom of the pages.
My new try is this:
midnight2:
card-mod-theme: midnight2
card-mod-view-yaml: |
"*:first-child$": |
#badges {
display: flex !important;
justify-content: center !important;
align-items: end !important:
}
But still unsuccessful.
