Announcing Super Tiles!

I love Super Tiles! They are more capable than I had imagined. However, I would really like to have another goodie for layout design, as I’ll explain below. Of course it’s quite possible that I’ve missed an existing capability!

I created a super tile containing five door locks. With one exception it works just like five individual lock tiles would. Each lock’s section is covered with an invisible virtual button that activates a rule to toggle the state of the lock.

The exception is I can’t have a red background for an individual lock when it’s unlocked. Not a big problem because the lock icon changes as does the locked/unlocked message. Here’s the tile:

To provide each lock it’s own region of the super tile, I use labels filled with underscore characters.

Now I want to put the same five locks on another dashboard whose layout doesn’t let me place the locks in a linear fashion. The image below shows the area I have to work with. Thus - the desired goodie is some way to represent vertical lines so I can give each lock its own region.

If it were possible to have a black background for the label tile it could be sized for both horizontal and vertical lines. Or is there a way to accomplish this with the existing super tile?
