MMM-CalendarExt3 Formatting questions

[Studio472]

@MMRIZE This did not work for me. However, I was able to find the code in the css file and comment out the style that inserted the icon/symbol.

I don’t have a ‘custom.css’ file. Are you referring to the “MMM-CalendarExt3.css” file?

I don’t have a ‘custom.css’ file. Are

create one

touch ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

if you had used my install script, it would have done this for you, see

@MMRIZE I’m not sure the solution, I agree it’s not as pretty, but at least it is informative. Maybe I just need to un-bold my font to make better use of the space.

I am curious how you get the baseball icons in the event title. When I tried changing the icons, very few actually worked.

@sdetweil Didn’t realize it wasn’t part of the module css. I’m assuming this takes precedence over code in the individual module css files?

custom.css
color: blue

calendarext3.css
color: black

Is the color black or blue?

@MMRIZE I should have said, ‘2 lines when necessary’. I agree it’s goofy on all events. Another idea is some kind of separator to distinguish 2-line events, make them easier to read.

@Studio472 see the doc

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/customcss.html

an entry is

.modulename selector_clause {
     style-settings;
}

so, typically

.MMM-CalendarExt3  ???? {
   color: black;
}

but he doesn’t follow the rules, so his prefix is
.CX3 instead of .MMM-CalendarExt3

I use this for building the selector clause

.CX3 instead of .MMM-CalendarExt3

Of course, .MMM-CalendarExt3 instead of .CX3 would work with the same priority. I just want to type less. :D

.MMM-CalendarExt3 .event .title { ... } /* specificity: 0-3-0 */

and

.CX3 .event .title { ... } /* specificity: 0-3-0 */

both would have the same priority(specificity), so anything would be ok.

blue (while both selectors have the same specificity)

By default, when you install MM first, the custom.css doesn’t exist. You have to copy or create one. There is custom.css.sample in css directory. Copy or Rename it.
The Installer script of @sdetweil will do that automatically.
