    @schlittrix yes

    u can specify lots of style elements in a single class like that

    for readability you should put the contents on separate lines inside the braces
    like this

    newsfeed-desc { 
         width: 700px; 
         text-align: center; 
    }

        }
        

        so i tried this step without success…
        When I just have the “width”-line, the text is wrapped, but not centered.
        But when I put in these code with text-align, nothing happend and the text is no more wrapped…

        any ideas? :(

          try this

          newsfeed-desc { 
              width: 700px;
              display: flex;
              justify-content: center;
          }

            justify-content: center;
            }

            Don’t know, maybe I’m stupid…
            but it still doesn’t work…
            this is my config-setup:

             {
                                    module: "newsfeed",
                                    position: "bottom_bar",
                                    config: {
                                            feeds: [
                                                    {
                                                            title: "Tagesschau",
                                                            url: "https://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/"
                                                    }
                                            ],
                                            showSourceTitle: true,
                                            showPublishDate: true,
                                            broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
                                            broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
                                            showDescription: true,
                                            wrapDescription: true
                                    }
                            },
            

            and this is the css-file:

            newsfeed-desc {
                width: 500px;
                display: flex;
                justify-content: center;
            }

              @schlittrix i don’t KNOW exactly how to make it work… I;m guessing as I haven’t played with this at all… SO… its quite possible it wouldn’t work…

              i’ll try to get to this a little later today

              so this works

              .newsfeed-desc {
                  width: 500px;
                  position: absolute;
                  left: 37%;
                  text-align: center;
              }
              

              use this algorithm to calc the left edge
              (((yy-xx)/2)/yy)*100
              where xx is the width of your news area
              and yy is the width of your screen

              also, notice the leading dot (.) on the class name, this is required

              one other thing… the align: center, aligns EVER line centered… so the 1st line won’t fill to the width …
