Change card alignment

Hello all!
Can someone help me to horizontally center the buttons inside the card space? I would like to distribute the cards within the card space, not leaving the right empty space shown by an arrow.

Thanks!

I would like to know how to do this also

I’ve always found that the horizontal-stack does centre the cards that are in it, but then I don’t use custom:button-card, so that might be different.

Two years on from the original post, I’d probably suggest the (now, not soo new) grid-card as the container for the others.

Although, this is just a vertical-stack with a markdown for the title and a horizontal-stack for each row.

and it centres the cards fine, no card-mod or anything (not for centring anyway)

What have you got that’s not working?

I have nested cards, with different types of cards inside each card :joy:

And i want to align the second from the top entity card to the BOTTOM…

If you’re not too fussed about custom cards and having to do a little learning, I’d advise using the custom:layout-card, and defining a grid.

There are other ways you could maybe do what you want but this is really easy and flexible, once you learn the basics. As a side effect, it can also be used to control the layout of the dashboard view and make some great views for different screen sizes.

I used it in the bottom row here

To give the gauge 23% of the row and allocate the rest to an entities card. (I could have done the whole card with it but find it easier to do it row by row).

grid-template-columns: 23% 1fr
grid-template-rows: auto
place-content: center
grid-template-areas: |
  "a1 a2"

For your layout it might be something like:

grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr
grid-template-rows: auto
place-content: center
grid-template-areas: |
  "c1 c2"
  "c3 c2"

then add:

view_layout:
  grid-area: c1

to the button top left
put the second button in c3
and the slider in c2

@eggman You might have ruined me for other cards after this.
I’ll get to work :smiley:

Would you mind sharing the code for your entire card?

OK, I had a mission to do as much as I could whilst maintaining the ability to use the GUI editor as much as possible. So, I delved into the depths of using themes and card-mod themes to get the stack-in card effect. This may have been more effort than it was worth. I was also creating a dashboard for the “system”, so something running is good and needs to be not highlighted. Whereas a home automation dashboard highlights something on, like a light. So, more fiddling with colours through styles.

I could hae made the whole thing simpler, if I’d accepted the majority of editing would be yaml. Therer is always a need to drop into yaml, but I’ve retained the ability to use the gui for most…

Do you know how to define the width of a card?
And how to align the content inside an area?

I define the width of the grid column and let the card use it. Some cards can be hard to align (especially in the vertical axis), as they can take up the whole grid but then not centre their own content. That tends to take some messing around with card_mod.

How far have you got and what’s your specific problem?

I cant get the lower left entity to align to bottom and left.
The upper left should align to top and left.

Could you share your code where you align cards inside horizontal or stacked cards?

As I said, aligning things vertically can be tricky, I wouldn’t do it with a vertical stack, I’d use a custom:layout-card as I said in my first response. That might still need some tweaking, nothing’s perfect, but it’s how I’d try to do it.

I’ve never tried to align items with a vertical stack.
