MMM-CalendarExt2

[Turtle]

Hello @Sean,

I just came upon your MMM-CalendarExt2 in the last few days. I think it will do what I need it to do for me. Awesome job! But before I dive in, I like to get myself familiar with it. After reading all the posts in this thread, you keep mentioning about adding “style codes” into the css/custom.css file. By any chance, this been renamed to “main.css”? This is the only css file I have in the “MagicMirror/css/” folder.

@Turtle In the CSS folder you should also have a custom.css file (in addition to the main.css file) that was created when you installed MagicMirror.

@cskenney - I do not have a custom.css file. Only have the main.css file. Why I’m so confused right now.

I don’t know why, but some nowadays version of MagicMirror has been missing css/custom.css. Just create empty text file and name it as custom.css then save it to your css directory.

@Sean - I thought I could do that but wanted to make sure but before I did that though I was able to find another css file called “MMM-CalendarExt2” in another folder and made some changes to that file which seems to be working. Of course, I made a backup of it just in case but for some reason, that file is acting like custom.css.

Custom.css is the only file that doesn’t get over written when you update MM or Calendar-Ext2. That is why it exists. If you modify main.css then a MM update will wipe out the changes. Same thing is true of CalendarExt2.css.

To agree @cskenney
When I update MMM-CalendarExt2.css on next version, your change will be lost. Use css/custom.css.

because we removed it from the git repo, to avoid over-writing it on updates… can’t have it both ways…

@sdetweil
In that case, .gitIgnore couldn’t help?

@Sean they decided to remove it…
