Changing customcss for third party modules.

[nibov33070]

Hi. I’ve added boxes around modules using (for example):

.module.newsfeed {
   background-color:rgba(255.255.255.05);
}

and that works fine. When I try the same thing with the module Background slide show:

.module.MMM-BackgroundSlideshow {
   background-color:rgba(255.255.255.05);
}

It doesn’t take the settings. Does anyone know why?

As a bonus question, is there a way to change the colour of the header text in the default calendar module?

Thanks.

@nibov33070 cause backgroundSlideshow IS a background… so the image overlays the color

Thanks for the reply. I was a bit unclear, I was talking about the info option that shows the name of the image being shown. I’ve discovered that the settings are in the BackgroundSlideshow.css file under
.MMM-BackgroundSlideshow .info {
}
If I change the file directly, it works, but if I add
.MMM-BackgroundSlideshow .info {
}
to the customcss file, it still doesn’t take effect.

@nibov33070 sorry, you are still unclear… there is an entry in the css.
you looked at the code and it uses the info class

but if u edit the info class (to be the same as the already existing class???) it doesn’t work?

in the config for the module it says this is required

showImageInfo: true,
