    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

          body {
          
          }
          
          .MMM-WunderGround .max-temp {
            color: #f66;
          }
          
          .MMM-WunderGround .min-temp {
            color: #0ff;
          }
          
          .MMM-WunderGround .day {
            color: #6f6;
          }
          

          That’s my custom.css entry for coloring

              			getRelative: 1,
              			fadePoint: 0.25, // Start on 1/4th of the list.
              				calendars: [
              					{
              						symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
              						url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'

              		},
              
              

              Change your getRelative: 1 as above in your config.js file
              Add your google calendar as above in your config.js file

                And please let us know the reactions of your son. I can imagine I would be kind of irritated but proud of my dad building such a thing on his own, working his way through all these difficulties.

                My son came home yesterday and stayed through this evening. It turns out my efforts were not in vain. He was utterly amazed that I took on, and completed, the MagicMirror project. He was excited and enthusiastic, wanting to see the code of the modules and css files. He already has ideas for what he would want to do with MM.

                So, he went back to school with a camera full of pictures of my mirror to show his frat buddies, and he promised that he and I would do something like this together, when time allowed. I’m hoping he will want to create a MM module with me, although he would be doing all the work and I would just be along for the ride.

                  But what a ride it will be ;) As a father I know all to well how important these kinds of memories are… for both.

                      I’m a father and a grandfather, too.

                      If I was the oldest to make a MagicMirror, that would be cool. :-)
