MMM-Carousel Pagination Icons

[J2FK]

Hi,
I also use pages and page indicator with 7 pages and have successfully replaced the circles with colored icons as described above, thank you for that!!

Is there a way to highlight the icons or make them a little bigger, like with the hollow and solid circles, so you can see which page you are on?

thx

@J2FK yes, somehow wit CSS… maybe they change styles when selected…

use the developers window (see second slink in my signature below)

looking in the dev window when active each icon gets the class

indicator

applied

the default style is (in MMM-page-indicator.css)

.MMM-page-indicator .indicator {
    padding: 0 5px;
    margin: 0;
    font-size: 0.5em;
 }

so you would put this in css/custom.css and change it as you want/need

I tried fiddling with this , but the override for the icon is causing trouble.

Dear @sdetweil , hoping your going well, may I ask you something about the comment you put on this page?
-> see this for how to locate the items to set new custom.css entries for https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14862/help-with-a-couple-css-issues/2?_=1719951675453

I do not find where the https://fontawesome.com is referenced to search for the icones.

has it been erased or could you explain me?

Wishing you a relaxing and sunny week-end,

Cédric

@com1cedric search is under the multi bar icon top
left ( often called the hamburger icon, two buns and patties between)

@sdetweil hum… I have to re-explain my question:

fo the moment, in custom.css, the word “hockey” is used for a page using MMM-page-indicator like this:

.MMM-page-indicator div i:nth-child(5)::after {
content: “Hockey”;
}

Let’s say, I want to replace this word “hockey”, with an image of a hockey-puck --> e.g. image “F453” on https://fontawesome.com/search?q=hockey&o=r

Shoud I “just” write instead in custom.css:

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(2)::before {
    content: "\f453";
    font-family: FontAwesome;
}

When I try that, the word “hockey” has disappeared, but not image of a puck is shownd. I should have missed a step…

Can you help me? (could interest other user as well I hope). Thanks in advance!

[sdetweil]

@com1cedric is the puck in the free section of icons?

[sdetweil]

@com1cedric i am traveling and dont have my computer out currently, maybe after lunch time.

can you look in the developers window console tab and see if there are any errors

[sdetweil]

@com1cedric also, is this the 1st or second icon you are trying to change?

[com1cedric]

@sdetweil hello, and thank you for your time. It helped me a lot, as it is finally working now…

I had to change “before” with “after” after the ::

.MMM-page-indicator div.module-content div i:nth-child(2)::AFTER {
content: “\f453”;
font-family: FontAwesome;
}

So, thank you very much for your help and have a great week-end.

@com1cedric I have submitted a PR for MMM-page-indicator which should give more flexibility per page. See example below:

.MMM-page-indicator .fa.indicator.page-2::before {
    content:"\f005";
    color: orange !important;
}

.MMM-page-indicator .indicator.active-page {
   animation: pulse 1.2s ease-in-out infinite;
}

If PR is accepted you should be able to target specific page indicators as shown in example above from custom.css.

You could use this fork in the meanwhile:
