      I’ve modified my modules to be as close to the top and to the left of the screen as possible with this:

      .module.clock
      position: absolute;
      width: 400px;
      top: -90px;
      left: -50px;

      now with the calendar, I did the same:
      .calendar
      position: absolute;
      top: -90px;

      the clock module moves to the position as directed in the custom css file, however the calendar starts as the mirror refreshes; but once it loads, it jumps back to the original position.

      what can override custom css?

        You can see how element’s css is composed in dev-console of client browser.(Ctrl+shift+i)

          The CSS window will show something like this;

          This list is which CSS rules comprise your targetted element’s look. It is cascading, So the higher is prior to the lower rules. (overriding).
          You can see what override your custom CSS rules.

            thank you.
            So the order of the css makes or breaks the previous code?

              @greedyvegan yes, custom.css order is top down. bottom could override top

              but like @MMRIZE showed , the dev window right column will tell you where they come from and if they are overridden… (strike thru)

                  I figured out how to fix my issue
                  I added :

                  .region.top.center{
                  top: -50px;
                  left: 560px;
                  }
                  .region.top.left{
                    top: -50px;
                    left: -50px;
                  }
                  .region.top.right {
                  top: -50px;
                  right: -50px;
                  width: 300px;
                  }
                  

                  to the bottom of my custom css file.

                  thanks guys
