@Richard238 said in Updating did nothing but gave fatal error warning.:

.calendar .fa.fa-calendar-check-o {
color: #00d255 /* 55=Green FF=Blue*/
}

Bit familiar with the F12 console, but it’s not easy to select the exact spot.

.calendar .fa.fa-calendar-check-o {
  color: #00d255 /* 55=Green FF=Blue*/
}

Change it to this?

.calendar.module.calendar  .fa.fa-calendar-check-o {
  color: #00d255 /* 55=Green FF=Blue*/
}

Or?

.module.calendar  .fa.fa-calendar-check-o {
  color: #00d255 /* 55=Green FF=Blue*/
}

@Richard238 in main.css comment out cursor:none
/* cursor:none */

reload the MM page

select the elements tab
select the arrow top left of the developers page

navigate the mouse to the check icon in the calendar display
click on the icon

int he elements page is the html of the element selected
and its class name is shown

use that …

thats what I did, copied your css, didn’t work (as u said)
found the element , and its new class name
changed the css
refreshed the page and it worked.

I want YOU to do it, so next time you know how/why

[Richard238]

I guess ‘elements’ is from another browser type, I’m in Firefox where it’s called Inspector.

But anyway, I clicked where the calendar icon ought to be, where its name shows on the cursor hover, and got this

Changed css

.calendar .fas fa-fw fa-calendar-check-o {
  color: #00d255 /* 55=Green FF=Blue*/
}

Still no icon though :-/

css selectors are the problem
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp

so, your definition says

for the CLASS calendar

find ALL elements that match (.fas fa-fw fa-calendar-check)
and set their color (foreground text color style ) to …

so, lets examine the

.fas fa-fw fa-calendar-check

in the element this is ALL inside the class= attribute

class="fas fa-fw fa-calendar-check"

so to SELECT based on CLASS the names need dots in front

name = tagname (<p, <img, <table …
.name = class name ( .calendar
#name = id of element ( id=“fred” #fred

no space between selectors means ALL

Selects all elements with both name1 and name2 set within its class attribute

space between selectors means ALL AND directly child/parent

Selects all elements with name2 that is a descendant of an element with name1

and there are other types > < ~ … which mean this ??? in children elements, etc,

what your string says is
under the calendar CLASS (.calendar)
for CLASS of fas (.fas)
AND
element of fa-fw (<fa-fw)
AND
element of fa-calendar-check (<fa-calendar-check)

but you dont have the two ‘elements’ cause they are used in the class attribute

in your case you only need ONE (not all)

and its a CLASS (so leading .)

.calendar .fa-calendar-check{
....
}

[Richard238]

Goodness, that’s complicated! Well, it kinda makes sense but, I’ll read it again when not so tired.

Sadly, still nothing. (Commented second one out in case it was the cause, but no luck there.)

 .calendar .fa-calendar-check-o {
  color: #00d255 /* 55=Green FF=Blue */
}

/*
.calendar .fa-trash-o  {
  color: #C97F7F; /* Brown 
}
*/ 

Also tried a known working fa icon from the weather module, but again, nothing.

@Richard238 it worked with the change (oops)

note that the selector is NOT -o

I used your text in the message, not the ACTUAL class on the element… my bad…

thats why we LOOK IT UP!..

[Richard238]

Even though the icon is fa-calendar-check-o
https://fontawesome.com/v4/icon/calendar-check-o

we omit the -o ?

[sdetweil]

@Richard238 see the exact class used on the element, we use the ACTUAL info, not whatever ‘config’ says

oh, using on MY machine, using the default calendar config …

[Richard238]

class? element? I try, but I’m not much of a coder. I’m hopelessly lost, as I’m sure you can tell.

I appreciate your efforts but sadly this is way beyond my skills. :(

I’ll live without the icon for now and perhaps revisit another day.
