@sdetweil
Thank you! I will dig into it via the dev console

It uses the defaults from MagicMirror for grey text. I use:

root {
	--color-text: #DDD;
	--color-text-dimmed: #666;
	--color-text-bright: #fff;
      --color-background: #000;
	
}

/* Originals: 
  --color-text: #999;
  --color-text-dimmed: #666;
  --color-text-bright: #fff;
  --color-background: #000;
/*

Anyone know how to get the entire table to center within the region? I don’t want to center the contents, only the position of the table being built by the app.

thanks!

@BKeyport

position: relative
either use margin or x and width, margin is easier

@sdetweil the problem is that I can’t find the right CSS class to apply it to.

@BKeyport did u use the dev console to examine the content? click on the element u mean to adjust?

may not be a class, so you would have to select more … just have to be careful if the table is in a div, in a div… then its ‘size’ and position are relative to the parent (div) …

.modulename table {
position: relative
...
...
}

this is my goto for figuring out the selector ( the thing before the { )
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php

look at the css for the form in MMM-Config

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/blob/main/webform.css

selector doesn’t have to start with a class…
note in the cheat sheet its ALWAYS selects ALL elements that match

@BerkSmash1984 FYI, there’s more ways to make things easier to read - fade the background - or add a background to the modules themselves.

Here’s how to add a background to the modules:

the .5 is the opacity in this case, I’ve got it set to 50% visible.

.module {
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5); 
}

@sdetweil found it. Missing a * on the opening CSS when I did it…

.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast * {
	box-sizing: border-box;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

does it, for anyone else that runs across this.

@BerkSmash1984 I’ve also found, in the documentation for MMM-Wallpaper, a “filter” option - If you don’t want to put a background on the modules, you can use this to improve readability.
