Please correct syntax errors.

It could be something as simple as a comma, or quote being out of place, or missing.

Post your config here for help, but please follow this guide on how to post code on the forum correctly.

I’m not familiar with those at all. Create a new topic and hopefully you will get some assistance with that.

Good luck! :^)

@Mykle1 is there a way to scale the entire Module? I’ve tried doing the graph but the forecast is still huge on my screen.

@Littlejohn21 you can try

.MODULENAME {
  transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
}

if you replace modulename with your actual module name, this should give you a height and with of 50% of the actual size
