Static labels in picture-elements

Configuration
1

I’ve been trying to find out to put a simple static text string/label in a picture-elements card.
If possible, set the font, size etc. Maybe even markdown.
How can I do this?

I knew there had to be a simple solution to this! That did it.
Thank you very much!

@VDRainer the custom-cards/text-element was recently depreciated. Do you know of any other options.?

Same problem. Stopped working a few days ago for me, when I upgraded to 2202.05.02.

Any other way to obtain the same. The purpose is to have a statetic text included into a picture element.

Does anyone know WHY it was archived?
Just installed it manually (instructions in the README) and it still works fine with my picture-elements cards.

I didn’t know about text-element so I just created label entities and called them up as a state-label.
In config.yaml eg…

template:
  sensor:
    - name: sunrise_label
      state: Sunrise

In the elements card eg…

elements:
  - type: state-label
    entity: sensor.sunrise_label
    style:
      top: 50%
      left: 18%
      font-size: 22px
      color: black

Thank you, this works well.

This needs an entity. The goal here is to display a static text.
