Sidebar - change background color or picture

Dear HA-Community,

few days ago I have installed the Sidebar within my HA instance, but I have the problem now, I cant change the bg color / design from the sidebar or to add a picture.

The design and color is always the same?
I´m using the following code, but it is always black.

  style: |
    :host {
      --sidebar-background: #384150;
      --sidebar-text-color: #7d848e;
      --face-color: #384150;

Code:

kiosk_mode:
  user_settings:
    - users:
        - smarthome
      hide_header: true
      hide_sidebar: true
title: SIDEBAR
sidebar:
  hideTopMenu: false
  showTopMenuOnMobile: false
  digitalClock: true
  date: true
  dateFormat: DD MMMM YYYY
  width:
    mobile: 0
    tablet: 23
    desktop: 23
  style: |
    :host {
      --sidebar-background: #384150;
      --sidebar-text-color: #7d848e;
      --face-color: #384150;
    }
    .digitalClock {
        text-align: center;
        padding-bottom: 1px;
        padding-top: 20px
        font-size: 205px;
        line-height: 95px;
    }
    .date {
       text-align: center;
     }

Solved the issue myself - thanks

Hi Sequent,

How did you solve this? I am having a similar issue and struggling using other proposed solutions from other forum posts.

Any help much appreciated

Can you post your code?

Change the color.

Add an image.

Color gradient,

Hey, I stumbled across this post. Was looking for a way to reorder the side bar. I’m just wondering: do you use the native sidebar or an add-on? Where or in what file is this code you mentioned in your post? Thanks in advance!

fabulous, thank you all!
