Should the macro toggle be available for media player device types?
Thanks, Josh. That is correct. Apologies for not being clear by using quotes. Your response gives me adequate explanation and now I understand the reason for the ‘toggle’ macro. I was just getting unintended results with the selected things embedded in super tile. I will continue to familiarize with this new feature. Thanks again!

No. Some media players may offer a play/pause command or respond to play() or pause() as if it was a toggle:
Alternatively, you can create a rule like the following and execute that from your Super Tile:
(Internally, we already had toggle support for Switch, Lock and Garage Door capabilities so they all get toggle macro support in 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?

@josh - Two other questions relative to Super Tiles. One, is there a maximum number of things that should be included on a Super Tile or in combination of multiple Super Tiles on one page? I have noticed delays in performance in loading the pages on Fire Tablets, even current generation. When you mentioned about each icon being like a mini app, I assume that is the case with the things on each Super Tile and was curious if I might be exceeding the recommended use per page. Second question, on some of my dashboards, I have Super Tiles in the top right corner of the screen. When the green Executed Macro box pops up on the screen, it stays hovering over the Super Tile. Not sure if you have ever seen this before or not.
There’s not really a hard-and-fast rule. As you alluded to, the more items you add to a Super Tile (or to a dashboard as a whole), the more there is to render. On a modern PC the difference is likely not noticeable at all but on some mobile devices you might start feeling it.
For Fire Tablets, I would make sure you’re updated to the latest Fire OS version and the latest Fire OS-specific version of Full Kiosk (if you use it). There’s some nice performance improvements in the newer OS versions.
No, I have not seen that before and I wasn’t able to reproduce with some brief testing. If you can consistently reproduce it, feel free to send a note to support@sharptools.io so we can investigate with you. 
Hi,
Can’t find how to make a glow icon in Super tiles. Is that possible ?
It looks great and I was able to make the icon animate

Hi my friend, you can handle display with CSS commands, assign a style to your Super Tile in the theme of your dashboard and add CSS command:
.tile.–theme-style-YOURSTYLENAME .icon { color: #adff2f !important; }
This is for glow green for example.
Post Data: If you want to try a glow light effect. play with the CSS box-shadow effect.

See this post from further up in the thread:
You could probably use Custom CSS as Carlos alluded to though.

Hi Barry, just wanted to mention I have had this happen a couple of times but quite rarely. I just refreshed the dashboard and it went away. Since I’ve only seen it 2 or 3 times total I wasn’t really worried about it, but it’s not just you.
I did some more testing and I’m still unable reproduce the ‘Executed Macro’ message getting stuck. If either of you have steps on how to reproduce, I’m all ears.
When the message is stuck, can you drag/swipe it away like a normal toast message? If it happens and you’re on a PC/Mac, I have some diagnostics you could try - send a note to support@sharptools.io and I’d be happy to share.
Looks great but I want to use that in Super Tile only. I created another theme . But, I was not able to assign a specific theme to a tile. Is that possible ?
Themes are assigned at the dashboard level whereas Styles (within a theme) are assigned at the tile level.
The snippet @Carlos_Juarez shared appears to be using named styles. You can create a style in your theme and then use the special naming that Carlos mentioned to apply custom CSS to that style: How to move text / labels in tiles with CSS - #2 by James
Didn’t worked for me…
tile.–theme-style-SuperTileStyle .icon { color: #adff2f !important; }
I used SuperTileStyle for switch ON , the tile become blue as designed , but icon remain white not green as in CSS command. Am I doing something wrong ?
Make sure it’s all lowercase and using a double dash as noted in the linked thread:
Great Josh, That did the trick !!!
How to make it the same as in switch tile meaning Glow and yellow ?
You could probably use a snippet similar to the one @smart_tomlinson shared.
So based on what you have so far, that would likely be:
.tile.--theme-style-supertilestyle .icon {
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(0 0 3px #ff0)drop-shadow(0 0 10px #ff0)drop-shadow(0 0 20px #ff0);
filter: drop-shadow(0 0 3px yellow)drop-shadow(0 0 10px yellow)drop-shadow(0 0 20px yellow);
}
Please note that any custom CSS snippets provided are not officially supported and may need to be adjusted with future app updates.

Is there a way to get the ST weather tile icons into a supertile?
When I select the weathericon from thing it displays a number.
When I select the weathericon from icons I have to set the icon based on the number but sharptools doesn’t have corresponding weather icons for all the values (like partly cloudy).
