[MMM-Rainbow] Animated text color transition
-
The more, the merrier. When I started this I never expected anyone to even look at my work. You never know what others might find interesting. My motto: Have fun!
-
I really like the idea of this module, I’m searching for the possibility to make only my clock have this effect and maybe a gradient kind of color shift. Can you help me with this idea?
-
@ganget Sure man, seems simple enough. You could always customize the clock module, or recreate your own and just add a class name to the clock, then alter MMM-Rainbow.js to only change the css for that module. I cheated when creating this module by using jQuery so it’s really simple to mess with. But if you do need any help, feel free to give me a message.

Love the concept, actually. Would love to see it limited to the user’s choice of modules, however.

MMM-NOAA3 has been doing this for some time now, as an option
-
@mykle1 doing what? I was referring to the original rainbow color. Would be cool to apply it to modules of choice.

Lets see. The topic states “[MMM-Rainbow] Animated text color transition” so I guess I was talking about that. Only noticed you because you mentioned me directly. I think @seann has done a fantastic job here. Joined the forum 8 days ago and already he’s contributing and offering his
help to others. He and I are going get along just fine. :-) -
So, you’re saying the NOAA weather app does rainbow colors for other modules?
… Okay.

@bkeyport Also, this is easily done. I’ll work on this for you when I have some more free time. The only issue with doing it to the clock is; the current clock uses “updateDom” to set the time each second, which from what I have seen basically re creates the elements. Meaning the transitions start from when the element is created so it’s not in time with the other transitions. So it would be easier to create your own clock module which just replaces the innerHTML of each element instead of re creating them. I have been making my own clock which will display down to minutes instead of seconds as i’m sure this would cause less strain on my terrible Pi 3 a+.

Actually, I’d be more interested in the mechanics in getting it to work down to the module level more than anything, would be nice to use it for say “Grabbing Attention” in a particular module…
