      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 :-(

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

                  Unfortunately

                  
                  .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
                  			module: "MMM-JsonValue",
                  			position: "top_right",
                  			classes: "MB-Wetter-Wind",
                  			disabled: false,
                  			config: {
                  				apiBase: 'https://api.weather.com/v2/pws/observations/current?stationId=IGEROL23&format=json&units=m&numericPrecision=decimal&apiKey=e0658025e8d74a2da58025e8d70a2ddf',
                  				method: "GET",
                  				title: "", // Widget Title, set to null if not needed
                  				icon: "fa-solid fa-wind", // Font Awesome icon, displayed before any text, set to null if not needed
                  				prefix: "  Wind:  ", //   "Quote: \"" ---  Text displayed before the value, can be a blank String ""
                  				suffix: " m/s", // "\" (from https://api.quotable.io/random)" ----- Text displayed after the value, can be a blank String ""
                  				jsonPath: "$.observations[:1].metric.windSpeed", // value in the json to display, the module use https://github.com/dchester/jsonpath for parsing. Note: if $ is not the first character in your path, it will be added for backward-compatibility reason.
                  
                  				refreshInterval: 5 * 1000 * 60, // refresh every 5 minutes
                  				debug: false,
                  				skipPadding: false, // yo can un-comment this line if you want to display a related value below; using a second instance.
                  			}
                  		 },		 
                  

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

                  Thanks again !

                    }

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

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

                    Snip20250324_1.png

                    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

                             <div class="module-content">
                            

                            the following

                            <div style" color: red;">
                            

                            is not present in my developer’s console:

                              @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)

                                  in your HTML …
                                  THIS style is hard coded in the *.js file of module…

                                  I give up.
                                  Problem solved…

                                  THANK you SO much!

                                    but its the SAME result… you need to target the div INSIDE the module-content div

                                    .module-content div {
                                    color: …
                                    }

                                    this means
                                    find the element(s) with class module-content
                                    AND THEN
                                    the div(s) inside that

                                    selector is ALWAYS ALL that match

                                    as the color style is not inherited down

                                      @sdetweil You are - as always - right.
                                      For some reasons NOW it works - tried again.
                                      (And I already HAD tried exactly THIS dozens of times …).

                                      THANKS!

                                        I think it failed on the previous because of the quotes around the color name

                                          No.
                                          I’ve tried this (see screenshot) with already working colors on these items …
                                          May something buffering wrong…
                                          (I’ve pressed ctrl-R several times so reloading has happened …)
