      Calendar still does not pick up any CSS controls from the main custom.css file. Here is a snippet of what I added:

      .calendar {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }
      

      I modified the other sections to look like this:

      .module.clock {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }
      
      .module.currentweather {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }
      
      .module.weatherforecast {
        background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
        border-radius:8px;
        padding:8px;
      }
      

      They work fine “either way”. Calendar refuses to pick up the formatting from the custom.css file it seems and I have to put the controls into the calendar.css file in the module’s directory.

          hm…

          .calendar .title {
              color: blue;
          } 
          

          works for me
          from the readme

          | `titleClass`          | Add a class to the title's cell.
          | `timeClass`           | Add a class to the time's cell.
          

          one not documented is the ‘symbolClass’

            @ember1205 part of the other problem is calendar doesn’t have a cohesive background element… it has table rows of elements…

            but there is a tableClass setting, which you can use in config.js to force a particular class
            but you HAVE to do this, else no special class is applied

              I found and fixed it (sort of). I had added content to my custom.css file to create a blurred background image as I was experimenting with some display options. I commented that content out (or so I thought) and placed all of these controls “after” that section in the custom.css file.

              Through a variety of changes that I was making to try and track this down, I noticed through viewing the Developer options with a real browser and looking at the elements that whatever section came first after my blurred background section wasn’t being picked up. As I rolled the changes down to the bottom, I was seeing different sections stop working.

              Seems to be all fixed now, and is clearly not a bug in the product but was a bug in my custom.css content. After deleting the content, all is displaying properly.

                @ember1205 so, this custom.css works

                 body {
                 	
                 }
                
                
                .clock .date {
                	color: green;
                }
                .calendar .title { 
                color : blue;
                }
                
                .calendar .fribble {
                  background-color:rgba(32,32,32,0.6);
                  border-radius:8px;
                  padding:8px;
                }
                

                with

                 module: "calendar",
                config: { 
                   tableClass:"fribble"
                }

                  @ember1205 said in Calendar Doesn't Honor custom.css for Background:

                  the Developer options with a real browser

                  electron is a real browser, so you can do this ON the mirror,
                  or from your desktop if the config parms allow remote system access.

                  I always forget that I can use local browser to view developer window

                    Now that you mention it, I have used the developer options directly on the appliance and should have remembered that. Thanks for the reminder!
