I have no clue how to change the colors for a slider.
@hmerk
The color from the dimmer slider changes with the posted code, but not the button background (like on normal switch icons) what I was looking for 
So maybe this is a bug in OH3.
Don‘t think its a bug, but wrong config param.
would be nice to not flood this with more off topic like @hilbrand already mentioned correctly…
This is about a documentation article and not about user support.
User support needed => Please open a dedicated topic in the correct area.

What is your alternative for a drop down selection?
Command options
It will give a popup with the specified options which will be passed as a command to the item

Questions from begginner:
How to ged rid of prefix in the group details and also NULL (I plan to use badge instead)
Should I configure it in model definition or in page definition?
Is it possible for label to combine item value + icon?
someting like this:
label: =items.Temperature.state + " °C" + oh:temperature
Change the State formatting metadata to just a space or blank.
I don’t think it’s possible to combine the icon and text in the same element on the page.
Should this also work with other operators?
I tried to edit it to a greater then condition, but failed:
color: '=(items.testItem.state > "50") ? "green" : "red"'
You are compairing against a String („50“)…
Thanks, i thought it would be a question of converting, but i am not sure how to do it exactly. I tried some trial and error, but without success.
In this example even better would be have tv power status
but I can’t assigne badge. Maybe Im doing this in wrong place
I don’t think it’s possible to change anything about the appearance in the Model view.
Hey,
i want to give you some feedback on the tutorial, as i used it to build a control-list for my RGBW Stripes which i use for main lighting. I have very low experience in programming and I took my time to understand the concept of the YAML files. I tried different examples that have been posted in this thread and went further and further.
For a tutorial, in my opinion it would be the best, to go step by step.
In my case i started with an accordion list, extended it to a second level, put in all my items, and added the current state as a Badge and even display the current Watt-usage if the stripe is on.
What i totally went over has been the part of setting the props, as it would be more complicated for me to understand my code (i could have used comments, but in a working progress it was already to late).
@rlkoshak proposed a step by step tutorial. For the List-items a good step by step tutorial would be:
- Let’s start with a list
- Let’s make it collapsible
- Let’s add another depth
- Let’s add some dynamic (in the badges for example)
- Let’s make it configurable (The props part)
For me all the given examples led to this:
Thank you everybody for your work and sharing your experience, before OH3 i did all this stuff with sitemaps, now i took it to a whole new level and i am very happy with that. Next i will be searching for a solution to display the current color directly in this list.
Cheers and a happy new year.

He guys, first post here as I did run OH2.5 for some time and there were a lot of guides out there, whereas now running OH3 since MS builds and diving into pages where I need some help with expressions:
I am trying to translate my sitemap into a Layout page which works quite well (to test things out).
On my sitemap I got the following:
Switch item=timeofday label="[]" icon="time" mappings=[0="Morning",1="Noon",2="Afternoon",3="Evening",4="Night"]
On the layout page I was able to use the command option to send the correct value of the item (i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc.) and I was able to use an expression as label:
=(items.timeofday.state == 0) ? 'MORNING' : '0' + (items.timeofday.state == 1) ? 'NOON' : '1' + (items.timeofday.state == 2) ? 'AFTERNOON' : '2' + (items.timeofday.state == 3) ? 'EVENING' : '3' + (items.timeofday.state == 4) ? 'NIGHT' : '4'
I seem to run though into the issue that only the first 2 values are used (in this case MORNING or NOON, even though the item has the state 3).
YAML:
component: oh-label-cell
config:
trendItem: timeofday
action: options
actionAnalyzerItems:
- timeofday
item: timeofday
title: Time of Day
stateAsHeader: true
expandable: false
actionOptions: 0=MORNING, 1=NOON, 2=AFTERNOON, 3=EVENING, 4=NIGHT
actionItem: timeofday
label: “=(items.timeofday.state == 0) ? ‘MORNING’ : ‘0’ + (items.timeofday.state
== 1) ? ‘NOON’ : ‘1’ + (items.timeofday.state == 2) ? ‘AFTERNOON’ : ‘2’ +
(items.timeofday.state == 3) ? ‘EVENING’ : ‘3’ + (items.timeofday.state ==
4) ? ‘NIGHT’ : ‘4’”
icon: oh:time
Can anyone advice on my syntax error?
My advice would be to add “state description” metadata to your item.
For the options parameter add:
0=MORNING
1=NOON
2=AFTERNOON
3=EVENING
4=NIGHT
Then you don’t have to use expressions or set actions or anything. The default widget will normally do what you want, and you can add it to a page with the “add to model” option and select your item.

Hey guys, does anybody know how to set a full custom color to an oh-cell? I already managed to be able to show a predefined color like green or blue. But it looks like i cannot set a rgb hex value as color.
is this also possible via items text file configuration somehow?
ok figured it out 
commandDescription="" [options="…"]
thanks, that works and is even easier!
