I have been lurking on here for a while now picking up hints and tips along the way

You don’t have to lurk. Step into the light. No really, this place is just full of helpful, brilliant people. Any problems I encountered were immediately addressed when I posted my questions. I’m basically done with my (1st) mirror but I’m sticking around to try to repay those that helped, or continue to help me, by helping others, if I can.

@Mykle1 Yes they were because they like doing this and because you asked nicely ;)

We’ve had a few that ‘demanded’… they didn’t last long here… LOL

This is a labor of love for many… There are so many other really great people here. So yes step into the light and ask questions… it’s how we learn!

@johnnyboy I had to format my brain to use Linux and learn JS… LOL BUT I’m doing it!

I’m used to Windows and PHP… While the both offer great things learning something new can be fun and frustrating… But hang in there if you have questions someone is usually there to answer!

Hey bud… what post had your updated MM pictures that showed your finished WunderGround module… the one where you added colours? iirc there was a tip there too to change the colors?

I don’t know where that post is so here’s what I think you are looking for. This goes in your custom.css file to change the colors for max-temp, min-temp and day. The colors you choose are up to you.

.MMM-WunderGround .max-temp {
  color: #f66;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .min-temp {
  color: #0ff;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .day {
  color: #6f6;
}

That gives you this.

so maybe furum still buggy?
My Weather icons look nothing like yours… so do I need to update WunderGround?

Yes, I think there is an issue with pictures displaying but the moderators/administrators are aware of that and are looking into it. Make sure you have coloricon: true, set in your config.js file in the WunderGround array. If that doesn’t do it then maybe you do need to update WunderGround. In that case, in your terminal

~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-WunderGround $ git pull

That will update your WunderGround, if it needs it

Also… whats with the time being wrong? Its been stuck on 17.20 ?

Is this not in your config.js file?

           {
		module: 'clock',
		position: 'top_center'
	},

Your a mind reader from across the pond lol… I was thinking about changing the clock over to centre 5 mins ago…

I wasn’t suggesting that you move the clock. I was only inquiring if you had the clock installed because you thought that the sunset time was the clock, stuck at 17:20

change out the calendar for something else or see if calender is editable?

Well, that’s the beauty of having modules. You can always change them to something more to your liking. I like the calendar because it allows me to link my Google calendar into it, so I see my events (birthdays, weddings, party dates, etc) as well as the US Holidays. You can also change the dates from relative (in 22 days) to absolute (Mar 14th) in the config’js file, which is nice. And there’s always the custom.css file for coloring, positioning, sizing, etc.

Initially, my biggest problem was wanting to put as many modules as I could fit on the screen, but I soon realized that it looked too busy, too cluttered. So, I decided less is more. I decided what modules were really important to me and where I wanted them. I’m happy with my design
