Thanks for this card.
I used it in combination with picture-elements.
This is how it looks on my iphone

Awesome! I’ll probably work on exposing more elements to accept custom styles soon. Anyway it’s always nice to see other people making use of this card. 
Ok…
I feel like I should know this but… how did you get the count of automations, sensors, switches etc. etc.?

This is great! I like this more than the gauge card. Seems like it would take up a lot less space. I feel like there’s a lot that could be done with this by allowing customization. Thanks for your contribution!

try this
- platform: template
sensors:
sensor_count:
friendly_name: 'Number of Sensors'
value_template: >
{%- set domains = ['sensor'] -%}
{%- for domain in domains -%}
{%- for item in states[domain] -%}
{% if loop.first %}
{{loop.length}}

Of course! Thank you.
Can you please share your config?
I use template sensors for this:
- platform: template
sensors:
#----- Count Automations
count_automations:
entity_id: sensor.date
value_template: >
{%- set domains = ['automation'] -%}
{%- for domain in domains -%}
{%- for item in states[domain] -%}
{% if loop.first %}
{{loop.length}}
{% endif %}
{%- endfor -%}
{%- endfor -%}

what do you have in this file based on your config above?
!include …/cards/compact_custom_header.yaml
Its the Compact Custom Header card.
This card works best when added to all the views with the same settings.
So i created the card in a separate yaml file and add the file to all the views.
these are the settings:
---
type: custom:compact-custom-header
header: true, true
menu: true, true
notification: true, true
voice: false, false
options: true, true
tabs: true, true
clock: notification, false
clock_format: 24, 24
clock_am_pm: false, false
user_agent: Mobile
user_agent_views:
- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 # Default view.
- 1,2,3,4
disable: false, false
dir: /www/lovelace/
background_image: true, false

great thank you.
Small thing how did you show the text Sysem overview using a sensor?
sensor.system_overview_message
create a template sensor like:
- platform: template
sensors:
system_overview_message:
value_template: >
System Overview
Use the template sensor in a useful-markdown-card as shown in my earlier post.

Awesome! I definately want to add an option for the title inside the bar like you have now. Just need to find some time in between finishing up my own lovelace config.
I can’t get the relative path include to work with Lovelace I’m on version 82.0. Lovelace just won’t load when i do this (!include …/cards/compact_custom_header.yaml) even though the cards directory exists off my root.
example:
[Config SMB directory]
cards/
ui-lovelace.yaml
Where should the cards folder actually be?
I appreciate the help
Huge thumbs up on this card! Love it!
