      @ember1205 right. Css for a module is the module name with a leading dot.

      Not the world module

        In custom.css, this does not work:

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

        Also, in custom.css, this DOES work:

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

          @sdetweil What does “not the world module” mean? Just seeing that now, and not following…

            @ember1205 like this custom.css

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

            you don’t do

            .module.clock

              @ember1205 and to change the color of the DATE of the digital clock (which uses the date class)

              .clock .date {
                 color: green;
              }

                Ok. I will look into making those changes and see if I can get it working the way that I want.

                Why does “module.currentweather” work fine, though (along with the others that I mentioned)? CSS has always been a weak spot for me…

                    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’
