      im not quite sure I understand

      using the sample config
      I used the arrow, to navigate to the header… (pointer in left pink box)
      it opened the html page to that element (middle pink box, you can see the class=module-header)
      you can test the styles in the top right pink box

      if you have something that updates frequently, (clock tick on 1 second)
      you can temp disable second (displaySeconds:false in clock config) hit f5 to refresh that page the it won’t update except on minute (as an example)

        Ok I found that and put it in my custom.css

        .CountUp .module_header{
        font-size:  65px;
        }
        

        With no change.
        What am I not seeing or doing wrong with my code. ???
        Once I finally find the answer it did not work…
        I am burnt out today. I will attack it again tomorrow.

        I have learned how to enlarge gif files. and If they put a css file I pretty much can find the correct thing to enlarge the fonts i want then. but this does not work well for me I click on the thing I want highlighted and it does for a split second then goes away never showing anything different in the html side… Maybe I should look at this from an html editor side of the file and I can see it then… Probably not able to do that though… I will keep trying to figure it out each time before I bug the forum for answers.

        Slow learner. But trying anyways.

            @plainbroke you can see the module name in the html too, in green box

            css has to match

            . means class=
            # means id=
            no prefix means html element, table, p, img, div, span …
            stuff to the left of the { is the selector clause
            it ‘selects’ the elements the styles between the {} apply to

              I really am burn’t out I saw that right below it that I needed to use the full module name for the header. MMM-CountDown was the same way… All I had to do was change the Down to UP and I would have had it… Oh well, at least I learned something today with the window thing… I just have too much going on, on my mirror for it to show things in the elements window…
              I will install the ones I have trouble with one at a time on my spare mirror I just got running on a Le Potato. That thing is a trip to get up and running. I made an image of its base up and running, complete with MM running with no modules. that way it only takes 5 minutes or less to get it back to minimum setup.
              Again thank you for your patients.

                @plainbroke no problem… just trying to give you the tools to stop guessing.

                guessing is a time and energy killer…

                and it hard to work on a system with 10 or 20 modules all acting at the same time…
                focus on one at a time.

                  Try Your pages module running 51 modules, one every 90 seconds.
                  DynamicWeather running in the background (cloudy today), was the one that made it impossible to see anything else. After I got it stopped my // it out and disabled: true, for it. I was able to see what you where talking about at least. I just missed the part where it showed the full name of the module as a clue as to how to format the code in the custom.css so that that MM could understand it… FYI you can not use the window with mplayer it covers the whole screen, had to kill it too.
                  Bingo the CountUp module header is now big enough to read and orange.
                  Thank you so very much Sam.
                  I know you have to get tired of those of us that do not have a clue and do not seem to catch on over the years. You are good soul.
                  Have a great evening.

                      After messing with Confusius says for some time this morning. Using the window,
                      I figured out why I was having so much trouble finding the correct code to use.
                      my second half of the window you showed was not showing up, It was hidden.
                      Now that it shows and I found my glasses. This should become easier…
                      I don’t do it often enough to remember the details so we will see how I do down the line.
                      Thanks for the coaching. It is really appreciated.
