    @sdetweil What does “not the world module” mean? Just seeing that now, and not following…

      @ember1205 like this custom.css

      body {
      }
      .currentweather {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }
      
      .weatherforecast {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }
      
      .clock {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }

        @ember1205 and to change the color of the DATE of the digital clock (which uses the date class)

        .clock .date {
           color: green;
        }

          Ok. I will look into making those changes and see if I can get it working the way that I want.

          Why does “module.currentweather” work fine, though (along with the others that I mentioned)? CSS has always been a weak spot for me…

              Calendar still does not pick up any CSS controls from the main custom.css file. Here is a snippet of what I added:

              .calendar {
                background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
                border-radius:8px;
                padding:8px;
              }
              

              I modified the other sections to look like this:

              .module.clock {
                background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
                border-radius:8px;
                padding:8px;
              }
              
              .module.currentweather {
                background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
                border-radius:8px;
                padding:8px;
              }
              
              .module.weatherforecast {
                background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
                border-radius:8px;
                padding:8px;
              }
              

              They work fine “either way”. Calendar refuses to pick up the formatting from the custom.css file it seems and I have to put the controls into the calendar.css file in the module’s directory.

                  @ember1205

                  hm…

                  .calendar .title {
                      color: blue;
                  } 
                  

                  works for me
                  from the readme

                  | `titleClass`          | Add a class to the title's cell.
                  | `timeClass`           | Add a class to the time's cell.
                  

                  one not documented is the ‘symbolClass’

                    @ember1205 part of the other problem is calendar doesn’t have a cohesive background element… it has table rows of elements…

                    but there is a tableClass setting, which you can use in config.js to force a particular class
                    but you HAVE to do this, else no special class is applied

                      I found and fixed it (sort of). I had added content to my custom.css file to create a blurred background image as I was experimenting with some display options. I commented that content out (or so I thought) and placed all of these controls “after” that section in the custom.css file.

                      Through a variety of changes that I was making to try and track this down, I noticed through viewing the Developer options with a real browser and looking at the elements that whatever section came first after my blurred background section wasn’t being picked up. As I rolled the changes down to the bottom, I was seeing different sections stop working.

                      Seems to be all fixed now, and is clearly not a bug in the product but was a bug in my custom.css content. After deleting the content, all is displaying properly.
