Thank You. I Like it.
Which Module did you use? CalendarExt or Ext2?
Possible to get your config?

@Clubjack
On the right-hand side I am using the modules all in the top-right region:
default clock
MMM-DarkSkyForecast
default calendar
MMM-SimpleLogo (used to display a static image that is my calendar color legend)

The main calendar is using MMM-CalendarExt2 in the top-left region with 7 different google/icloud calendar URLs defined in the “calendars” section of the module. The rest of the MMM-CalendarExt2 config in the config.js is for the view/scene and I am using this:

views: [
          { 
            name: "view1",
            mode: "week",
            slotCount: "7",
            maxItems: "1000",
            hideOverflow: false,
            slotMaxHeight: "95px",
            monthFormat: "MMMM YYYY",
            position: "top_left",
            calendars: []
          },
        ],
        scenes: [
          {  
            name: "DEFAULT",
          },
        ],

All of the formatting is done within the custom.css file which is heavily customized like this:

body {
        background-size: cover;
        margin: 20px; 
        height: calc(100% - 40px);
        width: calc(100% - 40px);
}

.xsmall {
        font-size: 17px;
}

.region.top.right {
        width: 23%;
}

.region.top.left {
        width: 77%;
}

.calendar .time {
        padding-left: 20px;
        color: #FFF;
        font-weight: normal;
}

.MMM-DarkSkyForecast .module-content {
        width: unset;
}

.CX2 {
        --font-size: 14px;
}

.CX2 .event {
        padding: 0px;
}

.CX2 .weekSlot .timelineSleeve {
        height: calc(var(--font-size) + 5px);
}

.CX2 .weeksmark {
        display:none;
}

.CX2 .event.passed::before {
        background: none;
}

.CX2 .cellSlot.weekday_6 .slotSubTitle {
        color: #F66;
}

.CX2 .cellSlot.weekday_7 .slotSubTitle {
        color: #F66;
}

.CX2 .cellSlot .slotTitle, .CX2 .cellSlot .slotSubTitle, .CX2 .cellSlot .slotAltTitle {
        font-size: 20px;
        color: #FFF;
}

.CX2 .today .slotHeader {
        background: rgba(64,64,64,0.8);
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .today .slotHeader .slotTitle {
        color: #FFF;
}

.CX2 .today .slotContent {
        background: #eeeeee69;
        #border: 1px solid white;
}

.CX2 .me, .me.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #83CCD5;
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .wife, .wife.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #EB738B;
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .social, .social.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #D59C73;
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .piano, .piano.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #B4CC5A;
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .birthday, .birthday.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #F0E68C;
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .college, .college.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #A473AC;
        color: #000;
}

.CX2 .holiday, .holiday.event.fullday {
        border-radius: 5px;
        background-color: #7B9CCC;
        color: #000;

.CX2 .slot > .slotContent {
        background-image: none;
}

.CX2 .monthViewTitle {
        text-align: left;
}

.CX2 .eventTitle {
        font-weight: normal;
}

@mlcampbe
Thank You for that.

I never worked with custom.css before.
Is there an tutorial for custom.css, to understand all whats inside?

nothing inside, until you add it…

it overrides (or adds to) the main.css so you can customize the styles of elements
never modify the main.css

@Clubjack
In my case it was mostly trial and error. I am not a css guru by any stretch of the imagination. You might want to take a look at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6808/css-101-getting-started-with-css-and-understanding-how-css-works which has some tips.

@mlcampbe What is the size of your logo you are using? Can I see that part of your config as well maybe? Thanks!

mlcampbe

By logo do you mean the legend that is below the calendar event details on the right-hand side of the screen? If so then that is using the MMM-SimpleLogo module with the below config and an image that is 294x135 pixels.

{
  module: "MMM-SimpleLogo",
  disabled: false,
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
    position: "right",
    text: "",
    width: "250px"
  }

Note that the width: 250px is used so that it will be centered within the right-hand “column”.

cyberphox

@mlcampbe that’s exactly the info i was looking for! thanks!

sdetweil

@Clubjack style sheets cascade. newer can replace/override prior classes and styles…

so MM does this

main.css (1st)
modules adding their own style sheets (thru the getStyles() method response if used)
custom.css (last)

so, anything that happened BEFORE custom.css is loaded can be changed with entries in custom.css

custom.css is empty by default

I know this is an old post, but I need some help setting up a full screen calendar.

Can you send me your config.Js and custom.css or however you made that calendar you show above. I have been waiting for someone to come up with that exact calendar…
Did you use the default calendar or something else…? I could combine my 3 different calendars into one… Saving realestate.

Take a look at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11001/config-for-a-simple-clean-montly-calendar/8 as it has the css and necessary config needed.

Hey. Last days i created my calendar with your helpfull custom.css.

Do You know the Code for changing the height of the Event-Bar?
I need it a little bit smaller.

Thank You.

mlcampbe

@Clubjack
I am not quite sure what you mean by the Event-Bar. Is that the height of a row or title size or what exactly are you talking about? I no longer use the calendar as my needs were only for about 1 years time but might be able to help if you can tell me exactly what part you need to modify.

Clubjack

@mlcampbe
Thank You. But i found it myself. 👍🏼

But i have another queetion.

I use the calendar in week-View.
The Today-Header has an other Color. Thats good.
But is it possible to change the background-Color of the Today Slot too?
So it is easier to see the actual day.

mlcampbe

I believe one of these should probably work:

.CX2 .today .slotHeader {
background: rgba(64,64,64,0.8);
color: #000;
}

.CX2 .today .slotHeader .slotTitle {
color: #FFF;
}

.CX2 .today .slotContent {
background: #eeeeee69;
#border: 1px solid white;
}

Clubjack

@mlcampbe
Thanks a lot.
The last Code was the right. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@Piranha1605 Very nice. What does the config look like?
