Transparency in cards

[omarleomar]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work, it's really great !

I have a question, in my dashboard I put a background image and I would like my cards to be transparent so I can see my background like in the iOS theme for example...

Could you help me ?

Thanks a lot :)

I added a Material Rounded Transparent Card version of the theme in v1.5.2 a couple of weeks ago that may work for you if you set the theme at the card level. Otherwise you should use card-mod:

card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      background: none;
    }

Thanks a lot it's exactly what I need :)

Thanks for the theme, it looks great but I can't get transparency in cards to work. I have installed via HACS and selected Material Rounded Transparent Card at the card level but the card remains a solid colour.

Are you using a view background image? Can you share a screenshot? I had to change transparent card backgrounds from true transparency to matching the view background color to fix an issue with dropdowns and other overlay elements, but I could possibly instead set --mdc-theme-surface to always be the standard card background color.

I am using a background image. Here's a room I've set up with the transparent theme.

You didn't include a screenshot.

[Cristarius]

I didn't? It's in the email, I'll add it as an attachment.

You need to add it to your comments directly on GitHub, attachments over email don't show up. If you're responding over email it's probably also why you keep creating new comment threads instead of responding to the existing ones.

@Cristarius can you try the 2.1.2 beta? I've tweaked the transparent versions of the theme so cards have true transparency and dropdowns are still legible.

[Cristarius]

Sure I can try that, how do I switch to the beta? I can only find 2.1.1. Here's the screenshot by the way.

[Nerwyn]

In the latest version of HACS open the page for Material Rounded Theme, click the top right menu and then Update information, and then click the menu again and then Redownload. Click Need a different version?, then the Release dropdown, and select the 2.1.2 beta. Then click download and refresh your browser.

That works, thanks a lot!
