I am using the default clock module in analog mode. Is there a way to enlarge the date up top, and change the thickness of the clock hands?

OK, so I get all this Sam, thanks for the help, but now I have a new issue. I’m using a Pi3, and I don’t think it has the horsepower to run Magic Mirror smoothly. The program frequently locks up, mmm-rain-map is the first to freeze. And now I can’t expand the various lines in the developers window.

So now I’m thinking of getting a Pi5 with 16 GB’s of RAM. What do you think?

Thanks,
Brian

@briantogo you dont NEED to go all the way to 16g
4 is plenty, but the future is hard to tell

Hi Sam, I loaded my new RPi5 with 16 GB’s ram, and boy does it fly!

So getting back to issue, I tried changing the clock hands in clock_styles.css. I changed the hour hand to 2 and changed the minute hand to 20, and could not tell the difference.

Also, I could not change the text size of the date above the analog clock. When I use the developer mode, I cannot expand

When I click the drop down arrow, it briefly expands then contracts again.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks,
Brian!

I tried changing the clock hands in clock_styles.css

for each hand
