Im having some struggle aligning my cards for my tablet that is 1920*1200px.


How do I move the card up into the gap?

Are my card settings ok or should I change something? Im very new to this cardā€¦
im using layout card with these settings:

margin: 0px
padding: 0px
grid-template-columns: 300px 245px 245px 245px 190px
grid-template-rows: auto
grid-template-areas: |
ā€œrow1-1 row1-2 row1-3 row1-4 row1-5ā€
ā€œrow2-1 row2-2 row2-3 row2-4 row2-5ā€
ā€œrow3-1 row3-2 row3-3 row3-4 row3-5ā€
ā€œrow4-1 row4-2 row4-3 row4-4 row4-5ā€
ā€œrow5-1 row5-2 row5-3 row5-4 row5-5ā€

Hey there,

is it possible to set the zoom of a card content
like with (this works, but its for every screensize):

card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      zoom: 120%;
    }

but depending on the mediaquery?
At the moment i have:

type: custom:grid-layout
    layout:
      max_cols: 3
      height: calc(100vh)
      mediaquery:
        '(max-width: 500px)':
          grid-template-columns: 100%
          grid-template-rows: auto
        '(max-width: 1200px)':
          grid-template-columns: 50% 50%
          grid-template-rows: 33.3% 33.3% 33.3%
        '(max-width: 2200px)':
          grid-template-columns: 33.3% 33.3% 33.3%
          grid-template-rows: 45% 45%

But some card-contents are too small (fonts, iconsā€¦) when showing the dashboard on a big screen (the third option above).

You should use ā€œstretchā€ instead of ā€œzoomā€

Stretch, can be used with either ( justify-self: / justify-items: )
Stretch can also be used with (aling-items / align-self:)

And Yes this will also be in All screensize ( but it should fill 100% , of i.e a cell ) , and not 120% of a predefined card-width

CSS reference - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN. (choose properties)

And this ( Move/resize by ā€œdragging the vertical delimiterā€ ( code | result )

Hello @boheme61 ,

thanks for the help. But I didnā€™t found any information how to use ā€œstretchā€ in ha-cardā€¦(Iā€™m not so good in CSS)

Can you give me a short example how to use it in my case?

regards

By using Card-mod !

šŸ”¹ Card-mod - Add css styles to any lovelace card.

And the Search Box in this Forum can also be used to search in the whole Forum, or in a Specific Topic, like i.e above

Search results for 'justify-content; stretch' - Home Assistant Community.

Beside, Various cards have various options, as as all custom:-cards are build by individuals, they are build different, and behave different. ( Some devā€™s of custom cards specify width in (px), in the card.js, some with ā€œmaxā€ etc. etc. )

If you have a use.case ! , with a specific card, i suggest you ask/search either in a Topic for that card, or in some of the big card-mod Topics

But as you mention specifics, within a card (fonts, icons etc) , you will have to read and test alot, upon your big-tv screen, Fonts / Pics are often specified in px.

But to be honest, i have no ā€œissuesā€ with the scaling on various devices
from Mobile(Max 900px), to laptop (1366x768 ), to TV (1920x1080 )

And you havenā€™t ā€œshovedā€ anything, or mentioned how your Browser is connected to your big-tv ( You do know you can specify i.e resolution , and in some case i.e text-size.( on the device/connection)
But again if you build ā€œadaptiveā€ there should not be any problems, as i have experienced

I got this pretty weird issue that when I use the layout card in horizontal mode (nested in a gridded button card, the button stack vertically.

See as follows

My corresponding code for the custom field is:

Any chance someone can point out what Iā€™m doing wrong here? I mean, even if some style is messed up the last thing I would expect using horizontal mode is anything stacking vertically.

Try grid layout and define the columns

     - type: custom:layout-card
       layout_type: custom:grid-layout
       layout:
          grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr
       cards:
          - type:

I have been trying for a while to make my 3 columns custom sizes.
Iā€™ve tried with the dashboard layout set to Panel, masonry(layout-card) and grid(layout-card).

Iā€™ve tried with the card in the dashboard being custom:masonry-layout and custom:grid-layout

Iā€™ve tried setting the grid-template-columns to pixels, percents and fr. Whatever I do all 3 columns continue to be the exact same size as each other. I donā€™t understand what Iā€™m doing wrong.

Here is the code I have currently, hoping someone can help me.:

                camera_image: camera.south_yard_camera
        columns: 3

EDIT: I also tried this layout without the initial vertical stack and without the initial grid card. Nothing I do changes it from 3 equal columns

EDIT: also tried no vertical stack or grid, just the grid layout-card with 3 entity cards in it, marked with the proper grid areas. Still either had 3 equal columns or just 1 column. I donā€™t get it.

For the life of me I canā€™t seem to change the color of the background on the custom layout card that contains the other cards within it. Feels like Iā€™m missing something very simple but Iā€™ve spent hours with no luck. Anyone have any idea what Iā€™m doing wrong? Excuse the poor mark-up, Iā€™m working off a laptop.

Multiple rows / colums can be done like:

grid-row-start: auto 
grid-row-end: span 2

grid-column-start: auto
grid-column-end: span 2

on the view options per grid item

I used a grid layout and was able to get what i was looking for.

Hello guys,

Do you know how to remove this difference from other cards using the grid layout-card?

image

margin: 0
grid-template-columns: 85% 1fr
grid-template-areas: |
  "left right"
mediaquery:
  "(max-width: 600px)":
    grid-template-columns: 80% 1fr
    grid-template-areas: |
      "left right"

Thank you a lot for your help :laughing:

Use the margin: setting like this margin: -10px 0px 0px 0px

margin: -10px 0px 0px 0px
grid-template-columns: 85% 1fr
grid-template-areas: |
  "left right"
mediaquery:
  "(max-width: 600px)":
    grid-template-columns: 80% 1fr
    grid-template-areas: |
      "left right"

As an FYI to everyone using this: With the new 2024.06 update, layout-card dashboards break if they are using the break-card. The dashboard will all just be in one column instead of multiple.

Github issue is already present for this: Layout-break doesn't cause a column break in HA 2024.6 Ā· Issue #291 Ā· thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card Ā· GitHub

I want to document the fix here. Editing the yaml configuration of the dashboard, changing this:

type: custom:vertical-layout

to this:

type: custom:layout-card
layout_type: custom:vertical-layout

The caveat with this fix is that the dashboard will no longer be editable in the GUI, just in YAML. But it should provide you with a quick fix until a fix is merged or you build an alternative dashboard (e.g. with vertical stacks).

I will wait for the Fix.
Or is there another card that does the same.

Iā€™m wondering the same. I have 5+ dashboards that uses the layout-card break and Iā€™d hate to do this global config for each of them if a fix is right around the corner.

I donā€™t believe the Layout-card is being maintained any longer. 83 open issues at the moment and this fix has been waiting for three weeks.

So looks like I may have to indeed abandon layout-card. What alternatives have you guys been using? Specifically for adding breaks.

Iā€™m looking as well. I strictly only use the grid-layout but havenā€™t found anything comparable.
