      @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;
        }

          @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’

                      @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.
