      @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”

                  @sdetweil said in CSS modifications on a module which has no own css styles?:

                  where does it open

                  <div module>
                  <div class "module content">
                  <div Style "margin-block-end">
                    <span class> font-awesome-picture
                  " HERE THE TEXT"
                  </div>
                  </div>
                  </div>
                  

                  Screenshot 2025-03-23 203611.png
                  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) "

                    #module_10_MMM-JsonValue > div:nth-child(2) {
                       color: "fuchsia";
                    }
                    
                    

                    Doesn’t work, either :-(

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

                              .MB-Wetter-Temp .module-content div {
                              color: "fuchsia";

                              doesn’t work :-(

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

                              		{   /// WIND

                              			}
                              		 },		 
                              

                              code snippet in config.js …
                              Gives you the windspeed on my weather station monitored by wunderground …

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

                                .MB-Wetter-Wind .module-content div {
                                  color: blue;

                                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:

                                        I do NOT have ! (for whatever reason!)
                                        I have the

                                        the following

                                          @rkorell yes you do
                                          the full html of that section

                                          <div id="module_26_MMM-JsonValue" class="module MMM-JsonValue MB-Wetter-Wind MMM-JsonValue">
                                               <header class="module-header" style="display: none;"></header>
                                               <div class="module-content" style="color: red;">   // you are trying THIS div
                                                      <div>  // but it needs to be THIS div -------------
                                                         <span class="fa-solid fa-wind"></span>  Wind:  3.5 m/s
                                                      </div>
                                               </div>
                                          </div>
                                          

                                          .MB-Wetter-Wind // the class name on the div id=
                                          .module-content // then the div with the module content class
                                          div // then the div that HOLDS the text value

                                          ..MB-Wetter-Wind  .module-content (means whatever element has this defined) div 
                                          

                                          could also do

                                          ..MB-Wetter-Wind  div.module-content (means ONLY A DIV with class, a span with the same class would not match)  div 
                                          

                                          many styles are NOT inherited DOWN the tree

                                          because the span holds the icon, you can remove it for css design consideration of the text

                                          <div id="module_26_MMM-JsonValue" class="module MMM-JsonValue MB-Wetter-Wind MMM-JsonValue">
                                               <header class="module-header" style="display: none;"></header>
                                               <div class="module-content" style="color: red;">   // you are trying THIS div
                                                     <div>  // but it needs to be THIS div -------------
                                                           Wind:  3.5 m/s
                                                     </div>
                                               </div>
                                          </div>

                                            @rkorell I think your div has the class margin-block-end added (maybe thru custom.css)
