According to https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1n880Fih5KyGPcoP5chidnHDG_8TxXUgSuij7f4rHpuk/edit horizontal cards without a summary don't get a shape, and since they don't get a shape, don't get background either.
This is my understanding of the table intersection of "Art_Header_horizontal" + "Can card be inside shape?" in "Cards and Ubuntu Shape" that says "No" and "The ubuntu shape is also optional for card templates which support it. In this case, the card must have a background colour" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393008 Title: Horizontal cards don't get backgrounds Status in Ubuntu App Developer site: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If I change the WEATHER_TEMPLATE in the scopes example to: const static string WEATHER_TEMPLATE = R"( { "schema-version": 1, "template": { "category-layout": "carousel", "card-layout": "horizontal", "card-size": "small", "card-background":"color:///#0F0F0F" }, "components": { "title": "title", "art" : { "field": "art" }, "subtitle": "subtitle" } } )"; The cards are placed in carousel style, but the background color is simply omitted, the color of the card stays black. If the card-layout is changed from "horizontal" to "vertical", the color is there, and the cards in a carousel style, but the bottom 10% of the cards seem to be clipped.
