A supplement to the development tools. When you open it, you can select “Sources” and pause script execution with the “pause button” or F8 in the lower third. This makes it easier to get through all the style classes, which otherwise update every second.

I used to install the original woldclock module, just switched to this one and it worked out of the box.

Thanks for the work. :clapping_hands:

How do I center horizontally at the top of the screen instead of left?

sdetweil

@SymmetriC put it in the top_center position

BKeyport

@sdetweil or top_bar

SymmetriC

@sdetweil Thank you! That worked and the solution was easier than I thought! lol

@BKeyport, @ulrichwisser and all: Please let me know if the following questions would be better served under a new topic, but since my issues originated with this older module, and the new module shares the same name I thought it appropriate to post under this topic…

Issue: the old module is no longer supported by the developer, who suggests using a newer module which uses the same module name. After cloning the new module, the instructions call for doing an ‘npm ci’ command, which fails due to a lack of an existing package-lock,json file.

Question: Is there something different I should be doing, o si this something the developer needs to fix?

Old module: https://github.com/BKeyport/MMM-Worldclock
New module: https://github.com/ulrichwisser/MMM-Worldclock

@JohnGalt npm install then

@sdetweil – That’s what I thought. Just did that and it’s working now…

Thanks, as always!

My version of the module developed a fatal bug that I couldn’t get rid of… The best move was to shut it down.
