homeassistant-minimalistic-area-card [Question]: Double the size of the card

What happened?

Hello,

the cards are really very useful and look great.

is it possible to double the size of the card? I think then you could display the whole thing a little better and you would also have a better use of the webcam picture.

Hi,

I'm using the cardmod to change the height of the card

type: custom:mod-card
card:
  type: custom:minimalistic-area-card
  title: Livingroom
  image: /local/livingroom-banner.jpg
  tap_action:
    action: navigate
    navigation_path: /my-home/livingroom
  entities:
    - entity: sensor.tempsensor_temperature
      tap_action: none
      double_tap_action: none
      hold_action: none
card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      height: 120px;
    }

Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at that. I had installed this before, hoping to change the colors of the top icons.

Is it possible to color the icons (e.g. of windows) when the state changes? Currently the window icon is only changed from gray to white. This is not really well visible at a quick glance.

I have now changed my entire navigation to minimalistic-area-card and love it. That would be another big wish of mine.

@novus84 this card uses native home assistant icons/buttons to render each entity, so you get full functionality of the native HA buttons. That also means that I can't customize it as it is kinda out of scope of changing behaviour of HA components even though they are used within this card.

However, you will probably be able to use card-mod or other customizations to do it as you would on any card.

hm ok, I just find it strange that the symbols in the orginal view are colored yellow, which would be enough for me. But as I said, I am not yet deep in the subject and still at the beginning. But the cards are really superb.

i tried card-mod but its to hard for me. I'll have to read the documentation more carefully and test it again. Thank You for your work!

Example:

Hmm you mean sensors. I will take a look if something is missing. It should work already for entity buttons like lights and switches

oh.. sorry yes i mean Sensors. Lights and Switches are working with colors!

But I have found an Button with no color. In Ha the Covers are blue when closed and purple when open. In your Card only white.

+1 for making the card height bigger. I do not want to use card_mod because I require styles directly on the card that do not work in card_mod. I'd prefer it to be similar to the native Area card. Giving an option to size would be even better.
