Make "Visible Device Name" color white for easier viewing #44
Comments

@richtj999 - As of right now, there isn't a mechanism for you to choose your own color for the device label. I intentionally chose black as the default color to match the aesthetic of the remote control - to make the name look engraved like the Amazon Fire logo. I understand that it's not always the easiest to read, (form over function) so I'm going to keep this issue open until I'm able to provide the ability for you to choose your own color. In regards to this:
There is a way to do this with the Firemote card right now. Full instructions can be found in the README.md file under the Button Overrides heading. There was a discussion in the past ( #6 ) about adding this functionality in a way similar to what you were trying to do, but I have not built that yet since the script feature has been a reasonable workaround in the meantime. |
v2.0.0-beta1 Here is a list of the NVIDIA Shield models currently available to the public: (let me know if I'm missing one) - Shield TV Pro (2019) - Shield TV (2019) - Shield TV Pro (2017) - Shield TV (2017) - Shield TV Pro (2015) - Shield TV (2015) - Remote Style Override: Regardless of the kind of device you own, you can switch your Firemote card to look like a completely different remote control. If you were very clever, you probably knew of a way to do this already, but now it's built in! - Visible Device Name Color Choice: As requested in #44, you can now choose a different color for the visible device name text. As of right now, it should work properly on any Amazon style remote, but it is not yet ready for the Shield version. - Sometimes apps made for the Amazon Fire world weren't the same as the apps made for other Android TV style devices which needed to be sorted out. If you've used Firemote for any non Amazon Fire devices, you may have come across this problem before, as @moh-Brent discovered in #30. These issues have been all sorted out under the hood which will absolutely result in a better experience - Navigation via the dpad is sllloooowwww. While I recognize that this is the common experience for anyone who has been using Firemote with a Shield device in 'Strong' compatibility mode, I really want to fix it. So far, lots of research, no positive results. - Support for the visible device name feature on an Shield remote has not been completed, so attempting to use it now will completely kill the layout of an NVIDIA style remote

This new functionality has been added in the recent pre-release version(s). I will keep this open until the official release. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am having a hard time seeing the visible device name text in black on the black fire remote
Describe the solution you'd like
I tried to change the color from black to white in the JS file which didnt work and also tried to add text into the card
Describe alternatives you've considered
primary-background-color: '#FFFFFF'
secondary-background-color: '#FFFFFF'
table-row-background-color: '#FFFFFF'
table-row-alternative-background-color: '#FFFFFF'
visible_name_text: Den
primary-text-color: '#FFFFFF'
secondary-text-color: '#FFFFFF'
Additional context
I didnt get an error from the above but it didnt work either (the text color change).
The card is great! Love it!
I was using something else and the only nice thing i could do with it that I am struggling with on your card is pointing the volume controls to the TV direct
Similar to:
volume_down:
service: media_player.volume_down
data:
entity_id: media_player.maindensam
volume_up: null
service: media_player.volume_up
data: {}
target:
entity_id: media_player.maindensam
volume_mute:
service: media_player.volume_mute
service_data:
command: volume_mute
entity_id: media_player.maindensam
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
