Magic Mirror - Auto-Update ?

[rkorell]

Dear team,
my MagicMirror ran stable for a pretty good time.
Now - for some unknown reasons - the icons (custom SVG files) for the standard weather module forecast becomes really tiny so nearly invisible.
I do not made any changes in the last past days. (really. :-) !)

Because it’s related to a “standard” module here my question: Is the mirror updating by himself?
And if this is the case - how can I avoid this?

Thanks a LOT for any idea.
Regards,
Ralf

Dear Sam,
don’t know!
have experimented a while to change several parameters in the developer’s console who could be associated with the size but none of my trials caused any visible change.

At least I could figure out (by the association with the filename) which CSS element is representing the icon.
This is (in my case)

.weather_forecast .weathericon

(I’ve (as many users) two instances of the weather module and gave them a classes definition to handle CSS for both instances different. In the Forecast instance (class weather_forecast) are the described symptoms located)

I’ve played around and have done some research and came to the conclusion that height could be the appropriate attribute.
For this reason I’ve added

.weather_forecast .weathericon  {
height: 30px;
}

to my custom.css and this exactly does the trick.

Where the “overnight” changes comes from - I have absolutely no idea and - see above - couldn’t even figure out any “change” …
Sorry for this.

• May I’m to dumb to figure it out …

Thanks a lot, anyway.
Warmest regards,
Ralf

@rkorell MagicMirror will not autoupdate
there was some code added to the updateNotifications module, to support some tool to update modules i think. that tool doent exist yet

if you are using pm2, those events should be recorded in the logs

have you tried restarting MagicMirror?

have you tried restarting MagicMirror?

Dear Sam, yes I’ve restarted the mirror several times, no effect.
Thanks to second link in your signature I was able to identify the CSS topic which addresses the size of the icon - but this was not neccessary earlier - worked without this.

IS there an auto-update mechanism?
(this would be bad…)

IS there an auto-update mechanism?

no… I am strongly against that… given the issues users encounter on nearly every update

[rkorell]

@sdetweil OK, good news.
Then I’m really asking what happened to cause the described changes on my mirror.
It’s obviously “magic” again :-)

Ralf

@rkorell so you updated custom.css

in the developers window , which class caused the smaller size? and where was it sourced from ( the file name is shown too)

@rkorell css is a challenging area. trying to figure out what overrides what when.

glad you have a solution.

thanks for your feedback
