custom.css ......body???

sdetweil

@piki still the trailing comma
but, I tested here, needs to be in a subfolder of MagicMirror, config worked

piki

yes, I also have the ending “.jpg” in the image name

sdetweil

@piki no… your copy of custom.css said

body {
background-image : uurl(‘http://localhost:8080/sku.jpg. <<<<<<<<<—’);
background-size: cover;

}

see the dot AFTER .jpg

also, you need to move the image to some subfolder

this worked for me(random jpg)

body {
    background-image : url('http://localhost:8090/config/scan-uuid.jpg');
    background-size: cover;
}

I put the sku.jpg file in the config directory…and it works…thank you very much

one more question, how do I change the color of the clock and weather module to black?

sdetweil

one more question, how do I change the color of the clock and weather module to black?

you will have to change/override the CSS for those…
in each module folder is the defined css (don’t change there, override in custom.css

if not there(same for every module), then examine the elements in the developers window elements tab

piki

great, and if I want “Bolt” bold text instead of thin?

sdetweil

@piki see main.css for the defined colors and styles

if nothing there that works for you, then you have to define your own (in custom.css)

piki

if I would like to move the clock or the weather more towards the center from the edge, do I have to write it in config.js? is that so

sdetweil

otherwise you have to use css to adjust things.

note that main.css defines margins around modules and the overall screen

so you may have to adjust margins

piki

thank you very much for all the advice so far…you have helped me a lot
