Hello,

for my heating scenario I use the heater-controller. I want to customize the appearance of this node and want to do this via using a template node. But i don't how to use the correct css syntax for that. I think this the section i have to change:

```auto
            .temp {
                color: #0094ce;
                font-size: 4em;
                font-weight: bold;
            }

```

This is a part of the class="ng-scope".

Can someone help me how to adapt this i a template node? I want to change the font-size parameter for a smaller font.

I've tried in a template node:

```auto
  <style>
       #Übersicht_Oben_cards {
            ng-scope {
             temp {
                 font-size: 9px !important;   
            }
        }

</style>

```

But it doesn't work 😔

Try this think your css isn't quite right & assume the  
see css selectors [https://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css\_selectors.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_selectors.asp)

```auto
<style>
#Übersicht_Oben_cards.temp {font-size: 9px !important; color: red;}
</style>

```

Unfortunately not! But many thanks for the link! It read much interesting things and now it works as follows:

```auto
<style>
*.temp {font-size: 20px !important;}
</style>

```

Don't know if this is the "correct way"??

Your using a wildcard in the selector which isn't wrong.  
Can you share your template html.

I'm not sure of how html class and angular ng-class affect css specificity
