Resize custom or main modules

@KirAsh4 said in Resize custom or main modules:

Those CSS rules will affect all the modules, as all modules use them. If you only want to affect one single module, then you need to change the rules to point to the specific module. Let’s say you want the text smaller on the newsfeed, then you need to look at the actual HTML being created to get the class named being used:

<div id="module_8_newsfeed" class="module newsfeed newsfeed" style="transition: opacity 1.25s; opacity: 0; position: static;">
  <div class="module-content">
    <div>
      <div class="light small dimmed">ESPN - Top News, 4 minutes ago:</div>
      <div class="bright medium light">Georgia RBs Chubb, Michel still iffy for opener</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Now you can see that the rules that affect the text, 'light small dimmed' and 'bright medium light' are all contained within the main class 'module newsfeed newsfeed' (on the very first line.)

Using a bit of CSS juju, doing this:

.newsfeed .medium {
  font-size: 18px;
}

… will make the text of the article headline smaller than the default '30px'. And this will only affect the newsfeed module. All the others also using the 'medium' rule will be unaffected.

Where can I find the HTML file that is being created?

The only HTML file I see is at ~/MagicMirror/index.html

This file looks nothing like the example shown here.

@daveyg_71 put these in the css directory - custom.css file…

I would never suggest changing ANY core css file because it could have well not good results then you’ll be trying to fix several problems.

That’s what the custom.css file is for ;)

Not sure if you know but modules are numbered like the example above:
module_8_newsfeed

There is another thread here that explains all that :)
Here’s one and it even has an example custom.css file attached:
check here!

@daveyg_71 there is only the index.html file, the rest of the DOM will be created during runtime with js. so if you want to manipulate the design with custom.css but you’re not sure about the structure, start the mirror in dev mode npm start dev or with ctrl+alt+i then you can inspect the DOM in tab elements or view the mirror in your browser and open developer tools

@cowboysdude I wasn’t planning on changing the any core css files. Wanted to look at it so I could find the module information like the earlier post then change the custom.css

@strawberry-3.141 I was able to view the inspect the html with crtl+shift+I.

my problem is it doesn’t look like the example above.

When your CSS doesn’t seem to have any affect it’s usually one of two things:

• your rule is not specific enough, and is being overridden by one that is more specific than yours

• your rule has typos in it… sometimes it could be the difference of a space. div.someClass is interpreted by CSS differently than div .someClass

If you haven’t done so already, search this forum for the CSS 101 guide which should help explain the above.
