Resize custom or main modules

[bokifide]

Hey so I was testing out the custom.css values to see how it affects the magic mirror and I’m not getting any difference for some reason =/.

Before

The change (changed the px values to be way lower than what was shown in the original paste above)

After the above change

I was hoping changing those values would mean that I could make it look clean enough to not change the size of specific modules, but I seem to still be missing something :( .

Regards,

'.small' affects the calendar, weather forecast modules, and newsfeed sourceTitle
'.medium' affects the date (only), current weather EXCEPT the temperature display, newsfeed article title
'.large' affects the time display and temperature from current weather

I’m sure there are others I’ve missed.

Those are all 'master' rules, affecting all those modules. If you want to only change a specific module, you have to follow the steps I mentioned above.

I know it!

Tried the same yesterday, and found a “bug” :)
You inserted your code inside the body { } section (like i did), wich is not working…
Just erase the body { } from the custom.css and paste the code in the empty file :)

@MichMich, @KirAsh4: Is the body { } section a leftover from an older version maybe?

[MichMich]

@zombi27 Nope, it’s an example to show where your CSS must go … ;)

I think there is a limit in how far we should spoon feed the users. ;)

[zombi27]

okay :D The body section confused me too, so maybe it’s better to keep it empty? just a comment “place css code here?”

i could send a pull request? would be my first one :D or how could this be done? totally new to github…

[bokifide]

ahh… See I was thinking it was a bug as well, I don’t know much about CSS or programming in general, but I’m glad you clarified that part @zombi27 . I had just gone directly to the main.css to modify the values since I couldn’t get the dashboard to reflect the custom.css values :). I’ll give it a try once I get home.

Thanks for the help and direction @KirAsh4 @MichMich @zombi27

Yep, that body { ... } rule is just there as an example. A quick search on 'css example' on Google would’ve shown you oodles of examples on syntax, almost to a fault.

[MichMich]

The problem if we change that file now (with an explanation text), it would overwrite files from users who modified it if they update …

[zombi27]

@MichMich: ah, okay ^^ that wouldn’t be nice :D

@KirAsh4 uses cast shadow on bokifide…
… It’s super effective! :sweat:

haha :D . I guess it just wasn’t as common sense to me, in my mind I had no reason to doubt whether or not a portion of the sample given to me by the magic mirror gods had to be there. :pensive: But you’re 100% right, I should have googled it, because you never know :) that portion could serve another purpose like @MichMich pointed out.

Lesson learned. Won’t happen again.

Thank you for your time fellows :bow_tone1:
