@Mykle1 Doesn’t all of that text go within the body? There is a close } at the very end of the custom.css file that closes the body. Is that misplaced?

So does this splitting of the text suggest a bad formatting command in either or both files?

Nope. Before you paste code, simply put three back ticks It's under your tilde key, then close out the code with three more back ticks

No sir, not in this case. css is a bit different than config. That last } in your css is not doing anything. You can remove it. If you fixed the body and save the css file, you should see your changes after relaunching MM

@Mykle1 Okay, thanks! I was way off! I made that change and now I get red text for the high temperature (so that’s progress, yea!!) but all the other stuff is still gray. I must still have some other syntax errors some where. Back to looking at the code …

@Mykle1 Okay, I got it! I was missing a close bracket in my

.MMM-WunderGround .min-temp

definition, and fixing that fixed everything!! Even the line of icons in the current weather disappeared!!

Thank you so much!

@Mykle1 Well, I applaud your efforts (it’s getting rarer in this messed up country) … I hope someday to figure this stuff out to a point where I can help another newbie. Thanks again!

New York City, USA. I’m just trying to be good representative of my city and country.

Dude, one month ago I knew less than you, guaranteed. You will be helping others soon, guaranteed.

Peace

@Mykle1 Have at it! FYI: the one I can’t get to work is the .newsfeed .title I still get small letters in gray for “New York Times” and “BBC”. If I go into the main.css and change the color/size for “small” text, that works but hear that isn’t recommended since it will disappear if I update MagicMirror.
