      @N3RD make a copy of the module folder under another name.
      Then the css can be against two names
      U have to rename the module.js to match the folder name, AND edit the module.js and change the registration line name to match as well

      see strawberry’s response below

        @N3RD every module has a wrapper with an id. This is is the module identifier e.g. module_1_clock. There is no need to modify files. You can then target specifically that instance in CSS.

        #module_1_clock {
            margin: 20px;
        }
        

        you can find out the identifier in the DOM.

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

              @N3RD modules are numbered from top to bottom in config.js
              Also see the elements tab in the developers window
