Sorry. An icon. e.g. an arrow.
Thanks Goody.
NP. I just want to be sure Iām answering the right question. I donāt think that area between the template icon and the secondary information field is configurable, but you may be able to insert an ASCII arrow in the template value itself that could be close enough. Otherwise, maybe youāre trying to use an icon that has an arrow modifier (i.e. tiny icon overlaid on a larger icon), but mdi:light-recessed does not have a variant like that. Here is the list of mdi icons I reference.
If Iām still missing what youāre trying to do, please post a screenshot of where you saw it.
Oh, right. I think I discovered that too. You can just use a hyphen - as a placeholder.

And now itās your turn toā¦
ā¦read this whole thread.
ā¦read about Horizontal Stack Card.
ā¦read about Stack-In-Card
ā¦read about templating
ā¦read about card-mod.
ā¦read this whole thread again.
We all want it all and of course rightnow but that aināt gonna work! Just copying code of everyone is the redneck-repair-version auf coding. And as I for myself have zero coding background I learned things the hard way AND had a steep learning curve as I just read and tested everything over and over again.

That bottom row is a Mushroom Chips card. You would use a Template or Weather chip for temperature.
To template, youāll need to learn templating as @RodgerDodger mentioned. Itās actually not too difficult once you learn the basic structure. Pay attention to using {{ vs {% and start with otherās working templates substituting your own entities to start.
That and a couple stack-in cards to wrap around the Template and Chips card is all you would need to get the look and function in the screenshot.
Card_mod (and themes) would allow you to further customize the look as youāre seeing with some of these more recent posts.
Also, YouTube is your friend

Iām having a bit of trouble with this card:

Buddy, yes, your response was offensive. Iāve read through this thread and Iāve seen how incredibly helpful you can be; so this was a surprise. (Who said I didnāt have patience and tenacity?)
I was missing a few key details: Stack-In-Card and card-mod. Iāve read up on them and am off and running now. Thank you.
Maybe donāt assume someoneās aptitude and willingness to learn next time? Ironically, you mentioned it in your last statement. You learned things the hard way. You were me once scratching your head trying to pull stuff together. Thatās all Iām doing here.
While somewhat crass, I appreciate the response nonetheless. You set me on the proper course.

From a fellow aviation enthusiast, thank you. I was missing Stack-In-Card and card-mod reading. For some reason, I had it in my head that this was all done with mushroom. Thanks again.
p.s. Mushroom and YT is what got me down this rabbit hole! Well, that and Vera alienating its original userbase and forcing them to look elsewhere. Happy to be here now.

Anyone had any luck inserting the Mushroom theme variables into a non-Mushroom theme? Specifically, Iām trying to affect font sizes. As a test, I copied all of the font-size variables from here, inserted them in my current theme (iOS) and set them really high, but it doesnāt do anything.
mush-title-font-size: 44px
mush-subtitle-font-size: 44px
mush-card-primary-font-size: 44px
mush-card-secondary-font-size: 44px
mush-chip-font-size: 44em
EDIT: Nevermind, apparently reloading themes requires an HA restart or calling the frontend.reload_themes service. I looked under Developer Tools|YAML, but it wasnāt there (seemingly because those only reload backend things). Anyways, those font settings are working like a champ now!
Yes it is a steep learning curveā¦ thatās why I [am not a coder either] will post my successes to share with others who may have a similiar issue. I ask may questions and about 50% go unanswered and I realize that no one is obligted to help but I do appreciate those who do without making me feel like an idiot.
My educational background is a teacherā¦ my profession is I own my own contracting business. It took me years to learn php, js and now Iām trying to learn this. It takes some longer then others but if someone is trying helping them is and/or sharing knowledge is what furthers all of this.
I Thank you for help youāve given me and yes people do want it right now but if not now then when?
I am in process of writing things that take a few moving pieces to make them work and I have just posted one of them today that I have a question about. If no one helps thatās okay sooner or later Iāll figure it outā¦ or I wonāt right now. Not the end of the world. But you canāt learn if you donāt at least try. So if someone is trying no matter if I think theyāre over their head or not Iāll still help them if I can.
We all started somewhere.

Hang in there!! Mushroom cards are awesome. Iām just starting myself and am very happy with the results so far. I do constant searches here and on Google looking for examplesā¦ things I can try or taking ideas from what I find to better enhance my setup.
Youāre doing greatā¦ keep it up!
These are the 3 bedrooms in my house. Iām happy so far with the results but I know Iāll want to make changes as soon as I get some time under my belt with thisā¦

As weāre all living in a world where everybody gets offended by nearly everything.
The point I wanted to state is:
Donāt want/try too much from the beginning or you maybe get frustrated because nothing works.
Climb the ladder rung by rung. Of course you can set your goal to a no handed superman tailwhip over a burning RadioShack but youād probably better off by starting to ride without training wheels, right?
Maybe it was a stressful morning but it felt like: gimme the code now!
Keep it up, read a lot, be disappointed because trial and error sucks sometimes or your SO doesnāt give a damn about that wobbling green mushy whatever thing you handcoded in a 5h evening session butā¦ be happy as a kid if that one tweak you almost googled back to Alta Vista now works and put on that honest little smile on your face.
TL;DR
And now back to work! Code has to be coded!

This would be awesome!
Can you change the switch state in Developer Tools or even see the state? Does the service call in Developer Tools show you something?
Do them scripts work if you fire them individually?
Looking for some advice on how best to handle this problem. Or should I be looking for other solutions with other cards?
I have been trying to get a mushroom template card to produce the results I am after and I am almost there.
This card changes entity value (run time) based on whether the AC is idle or cooling. My styling also changes the background color when cooling. (Will update for heating and idle later if this gets sorted.)
Now the problem: I find no way to center that value on the card. Tried various card-mod styles I have researched and none seem to apply. Example below.
If it is NOT possible to center this template card, is there another suggested card where I can still template the states I need to show?
Cheers!
