    @geeflaxx you need to write it down like this

    {
        module: 'random_quotes',
        position: 'lower_third',
        config: {
            updateIntervall: 500,
            fadeSpeed: 4,
            category: 'random'
        }
    }
    

    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          Can’t. It’s a single line each time.

          A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

            @KirAsh4 Couldn’t @geeflaxx insert a <br> inside all quotes? Would be a lot of manual work though.

              That’s what I was thinking as well. After all it is just text in a <div> isn’t it?

                Actually, yes you could. Basically any HTML tag would (should?) work. I did a ‘split’ on a key character so I can apply two different styles, one on the quote, and one on the author. Slightly different approach.

                    Too late, but here it goes.

                    You can add all the quotes from the same author in a category (like motivational or life) and change the config file to show quotes from that category only.

                    It’s upto you to add “~”, but if you do, they will follow different styles as set by the developer.

                    @KirAsh4 , I’ve noticed that the selection of quotes isn’t true random. Every time I start MM, I get the same quotes.

                      Love the module, works a treat.
                      Can’t figure out how to change the size of the quote and/or author however.

                      I’ve tried adding the following to custom.css

                      .random_quotes .medium {
                      font-size: 50px;
                      }
                      

                      and

                      .random_quotes .quote .medium {
                      font-size: 50px;
                      }
                      

                      Neither work however.
                      I think you’ll be able to see what I tried to do here, but please could you help me figure out where I am going wrong?

                      Thanks in advance.
