      yeeah :) i love those!

      I’ll install it right away when i’m home! But a quick idea: Are you able to invert the comics? I think white on black would fit perfectly into the MM :)

        for inverting the colours you can insert the css rule filter: invert(100%);

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          Maybe add it as an option to the module? I think lots of people would like that!

          We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

            I added an option to invert the colors and dev console shows the image has the style filter : invert(100%); but the colors don’t seem to be inverting at all.

            Update: Changed to -webkit-filter and it worked. Looks hella good.

                Hi!

                Since new comics only come out on monday, wednesday and friday i made a slight modification (ugly hack) to your node_helper.js…

                On non comic days, after getting the current comic, the node_helper will examines the num value and generate a random number between 1 and said value. It will then get the random comic and return it in the payload.

                	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
                		var self = this;
                		console.log("Notification: " + notification + " Payload: " + payload);
                		
                		if(notification === "GET_COMIC"){
                			
                			var comicJsonUri = payload.config.dailyJsonUrl;
                			var comic;
                			var rndcomic;
                			var rndUrl;
                			var body;
                			var d = new Date();
                			var n = d.getDay(); 
                			
                			request(comicJsonUri, function (error, response, body) {
                				if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
                					console.log(body);
                					if ( this.n == 1 || this.n == 3 || this.n == 5 ) {
                							self.sendSocketNotification("COMIC", JSON.parse(body));
                					} else {
                						this.comic = JSON.parse(body); 
                						this.rndcomic = Math.floor((Math.random() * this.comic.num) + 1); 
                						this.rndUrl = "http://xkcd.com/" + this.rndcomic + "/info.0.json";
                						request(this.rndUrl, function (error, response, body) {
                							if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
                								console.log(body);
                								self.sendSocketNotification("COMIC", JSON.parse(body));
                							}
                						});
                					}
                				}
                			});
                		}
                	},

                  I like it! Put in a pull request if you want it in the official repo. Also maybe add a config option to turn the feature off (if someone just wants to see new comics only)?

                      Beautiful little module! I was wondering though, is it possible to adjust the size of the comic? I found it quite big for my mirror. Also, did @RedNax modification get into the module? Tried to just copy-paste it, but didn’t get it to work… (Hope I’m posting in the correct thread for this :P)

                        @Nexxic In the only pull request made, the author retracted it. I’ve had a couple people say they were working on a pull request for fixing the size of the larger comics, but nothing’s come of it yet. I’m too busy at the moment, otherwise I would do it myself.
