Themes for tile card and other cards

[jm-cook]

I look forward to the day when I can use a theme to control the appearance of the tile card like you can with the mushroom custom cards, without all that messing around with card-mod.

I don’t like using card-mod because it doesn’t always work properly when casting, requires some intimate knowledge of css and using developer tools on the front end. I haven’t found a good way, or any way, to configure a theme for tiles without using card-mod. I think of card-mod as being a way to achieve some look, font, colour or whatever, while we wait for that feature to be standard.

Here is a mushroom card with user assigned font sizes and colour through my own theme for mushroom:

With these settings in the mushroom theme:

    # Card
    mush-card-primary-font-size: 130%
    mush-card-secondary-font-size: 300%
    mush-card-primary-font-weight: 500
    mush-card-secondary-font-weight: 900
    mush-card-primary-line-height: 110%
    mush-card-secondary-line-height: 110%
    mush-card-primary-color: grey
    mush-card-border-radius: 18px
    # Icon
    mush-icon-size: 30px

It doesn't seem to be possible to achieve the same with a tile card atm. This is the nearest I can get after resorting to card-mod:

(In addition IMO all standard cards could benefit from a common style option)
