Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

[Tagriel]

Hi all,

I just found the issue. Just check there’s height and width on your custom.css

.currentweather .weathericon {
position: absolute;
z-index: 0;
height: 200px;
width: 400px
right: 180px;
margin-top: -65px;
margin-left: 30px;
}

My CPU goes through the roof when I tried these animated icons last night. Anyone else seeing high CPU usage with them ?

@PhilReis said in Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast:

I have add the other icons. But not all are properly positioned yet.
And a there is no icon for fog.
In the next few weeks I will position the icon correctly.
This solution is maybe not the best but it works!

Picture:

For this icons you need this icon package:
https://www.amcharts.com/free-animated-svg-weather-icons/

Copy the icon from the folder “animated” to the folder “MagicMirror/css/icons”

Then you have to add this code to your “custom.css” file.

As I said not completely finished.

Hello anyone, if i have a icon packs named sun.mov, rain.mov, etc, can i put the pack in /css/icons and use the same code but changing the url (and maybe padding)?
from content: url("/css/icons/day.svg"), to content: url("/css/icons/sun.mov"); or i need something else?
i don’t know how coding :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

I added the ability to use animated icons in my weather module, and I, too, notice very high CPU usage, even though the animation code is purported to not be demanding of resources. I’m going to guess that SVG / Canvas animation on Electron running or on a Raspberry Pi (or both!) is not optimised to be as efficient as it could be.

If I have many icons animated at the same time and if I leave it running for days, eventually MM will freeze. CPU temp and usage goes up significantly until that happens.

@aecandroid - Please check out this guide on how to use the markdown features of the forum. Then go back and properly block out your config.js file. That will make debugging your code much easier.

@bhepler @Mykle1 My apologies. It was late last night and when I posted the code I saw it had created a block and I didn’t look at it closely. I have properly blocked out my config.js file below. Your help is greatly appreciated.
