      If I have to hunt for CSS and CONFIG settings that are scattered through code, how do I distinguish between the two?

        @ankonaskiff17 config settings are defined in the modulename.js in the default{} block

        css is any/everywhere. Find class=, style=

        Sometimes a module will provide its own css file, sometimes use the provided styles.

          This is where I get tangled up with a code block like this, of which there are several. Up in default config that is showRain: false, so I just stick a showRain: true, in the config.js file. No problem with that. It is the things like label: 'Rain Volume (mm) and the rest. Do the get a css entry along lines of

           .module.MMM-WeatherChart .showRain {
          label: 'Rain Volume (mm)';
          }
          .module.MMM-WeatherChart .dataLabels {
          align: 'bottom';
          }
          

          These blocks are scattered throughout the script

                  if (this.config.showRain) {
                      datasets.push({
                          label: 'Rain Volume (mm)',
                          backgroundColor: this.config.fillColor,
                          borderColor: this.config.color,
                          borderWidth: 1,
                          pointBackgroundColor: this.config.color,
                          datalabels: {
                              color: this.config.color,
                              align: 'top'
                          },
                          data: rains,
                          yAxisID: "y2"
          

          this.config.showRain = true is easy.
          it is the settings enclosed in the show Rain block. Colors defined prior so just ignore them?
