        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.

            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.

                  @ember1205 so, this custom.css works

                   body {
                   	
                   }
                  
                  
                  .clock .date {
                  	color: green;
                  }
                  .calendar .title { 
                  color : blue;
                  }
                  
                  .calendar .fribble {
                    background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
                    border-radius:8px;
                    padding:8px;
                  }
                  

                  with

                   module: "calendar",
                  config: { 
                     tableClass:"fribble"
                  }

                    the Developer options with a real browser

                    electron is a real browser, so you can do this ON the mirror,
                    or from your desktop if the config parms allow remote system access.

                    I always forget that I can use local browser to view developer window

                      Now that you mention it, I have used the developer options directly on the appliance and should have remembered that. Thanks for the reminder!
