MMM-Globe

Foxy25

i use the command in the styles.css of the modul, not in the custom.css.

It works, but it makes the complete module invisible, not only the background behind the globe.

Thank you for your support.

@foxy25 to make globe transparent there are two changes required.

Module div’s background color
Globe canvas itself have black color as background.

First one can be easily doable with css but to make globe transparent you will need to change the code as well. Do below to make globe transperent.

In custom.css add below css

.globe
{
	background-color: unset;
}

in modules\MMM-Globe\encom-globe.js file find below line and change it to.

from

this.renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer( { antialias: true } );

to

this.renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer( { antialias: true, alpha: true } );

below is output

Before

After

Let me know how/if it works for you.

Hi @damith,

May be, you have an issue in the config.js.
You can use the built-in check-tool from within the MagicMirror folder named
npm run config:check

Or use an external Website (I use https://esprima.org/demo/validate.html) to see if it is valed.

@damith did u do the npm install in the module folder after git clone?

if u look at the startup messages, where u start mm
npm start
or pm2 logs --lines=100

you might see a message, module not found.
this is the number 1 clue you didn’t do the npm install

Hi, may i ask if it is possible to change background to transparent ?
Thanks,

greedyvegan

in the beginning of this post from 2021, it was recommended NOT to use this with a raspberry pi
today, in 2024, I have a raspberry pi 5, does that matter? lol

anyway, the left is on my pi 5 and the right is viewing it on a browser on my computer
