      @sdetweil ,
      Dear Sam,
      yes, I know and the selector clause is exactly what I’m struggling to find.
      I’ve managed to see several clauses like your example with “nth-child” and several wild namings in other cases.
      But in th given case I cannot “pick” the clause.

      If I select the text in developer console (see image) “Kein Element ausgewählt” which tranlates to “no element selected”.
      Consecutively it is not possible to extract the “inner HTML” or even the “CSS Path” - which in other circumstances is offered via right mouse context-menu…

      So how can I figure out the selector clause?

      Thanks!
      Ralf

        .module-name     div.module-block-end {
           color:....;
        }

          @sdetweil would this work with the classes name as well?

            @rkorell yes. as a replacement for module_name

            when you select the element in the dev window
            down at the bottom is the selector clause prototype

              @sdetweil unfortunately your suggestion doesn’t work…
              And I cannot see anything “at the button” ?

              Defnitely no “selector clause prototype”

                      The " <div class “module content”> " is identified by
                      "#module_10_MMM-JsonValue > div:nth-child(2) " (for the first instance of module)
                      second and following instances are counted up consecutively
                      "#module_11_MMM-JsonValue > div:nth-child(2) "
                      "#module_12_MMM-JsonValue > div:nth-child(2) "
                      "#module_13_MMM-JsonValue > div:nth-child(2) "

                        Doesn’t work, either :-(

                            @rkorell maybe that will work

                            if you change it in the input area, does change

                                THIS “bottom” …
                                Sorry for misinterpreting this.
                                Will try your suggestion.

                                  doesn’t work :-(

                                  May you are much faster than me?
                                  If you mind to try MMM-JsonValue with this

                                    SO close… the color is NOT in quotes (in css)
                                    sorry I missed that before

                                    .MB-Wetter-Wind .module-content div {

                                    here I am using the dev window to override the blue to red… see the top right of the right column , note that the one from custom.css (just below), is strikethru to say it is overridden by something higher up
                                    if you uncheck the checkbox in front of the color:red; it will disable that value and the strikethru will go away and the text will be blue

                                      I guess your own CSS modification has enabled this…
                                      Without this the entry #text doesn’t have any opportunity to change anything…

                                          you are not styling the TEXT, you are styling the DIV that HOLDS the text
                                          (my css entry commented out, and the div selected)
                                          you cannot target the ‘text’ itself… only whatever holds it (p, div, span, table data…)

                                            Yes, understood.
                                            What I cannot understand and what doesn’t work for me is exactly this, what you (formerly) asked and demosntrated in your last post: touch this div -part…
                                            what you DO have:
