[MMM-Rainbow] Animated text color transition

[ganget]

@justjim1220 I changed the update interval to 60 sec and that makes it work allot better. I kept the background size at 500% so the color gradient won’t repeat.

.clock-time-only-color {
	background-image: linear-gradient(to left, red,orange,yellow,green,blue,purple);
	-webkit-background-clip:  text;
	-webkit-animation: animate 60s linear infinite;
	background-size: 500%;
	color: transparent;
	
}
@-webkit-keyframes animate{
	0%	{background-position: 0% 500%;}
	100%	{background-position: 500% 0%;}

The result

Thanks for your help!

@justjim1220 Say if you start your mirror at 30 seconds past the minute, the clock on the mirror wont update until 30 seconds past the next minute, that’s why I created my own clock

[justjim1220]

@seann was you able to get past the every second update?

[justjim1220]

@ganget Does it show every color?

[Seann]

@justjim1220 Do you mean for the clock?

[ganget]

@justjim1220. Yeah it shows every color atm before the minute updates and the loop starts again.

@ganget Have a look at the js Here
This is how I made my clock update every minute, on the minute. Could be done better i’m sure but this works.

[justjim1220]

@seann Yes, and I really like how you coded your iClock to work that way!

I don’t know if it matters to you but your Github readme for MMM-iClock starts like this:

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?

Gradients can be a done something like this… of course you’ll be using different selectors but this is the idea:

  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #E0AC00, #E0D100, #CAE000, #A5E000, #7FE000, 
  #5AE000);
     background-size: 24em 0.25em;

I used that gradient in the bars on the right hand side of the picture…from yellow to green.
