Display on top of picture card about lovelace-windrose-card

HI Sander.
I'm not sure I understand your question correctly. You want to display a windrose on a picture elements card. Is that correct?
I don't have experience with the picture elements card. I see there is a custom option.

If you need a transparent background option in the windrose card, I think that possible.

Yes, correct. I can start investigating myself but hoped you would have a ready to use option 😀.

I'm sorry, I don't have a ready to use option.

So, to be sure, a transparent background options would make this possible, right?

I will have look at this, see how easy it can be done.

[sanderlv]

Transparent would indeed help a lot!

Hi Sander. I had a look at the code and decided not to make an option for this in de card itself.

You can change the background color of the card with card_mod.
See: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-card-mod

If you add this to the card configuration:

card_mod:
  style: |
    ha-card {
      background-color: transparent
    }

The background becomes transparent.

Hope this helpsl

You need the latest release of the windrose-card. There was a long standing bug preventing card_mod to work, which I today finally fixed. It needed a small code change, but it took me a lot of time to find out what to change.
