      newsfeed-desc {

      display: flex;
      justify-content: center;
      }

      Don’t know, maybe I’m stupid…
      but it still doesn’t work…
      this is my config-setup:

       {
                              module: "newsfeed",
                              position: "bottom_bar",
                              config: {
                                      feeds: [
                                              {
                                                      title: "Tagesschau",
                                                      url: "https://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/"
                                              }
                                      ],
                                      showSourceTitle: true,
                                      showPublishDate: true,
                                      broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
                                      broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
                                      showDescription: true,
                                      wrapDescription: true
                              }
                      },
      

      and this is the css-file:

      newsfeed-desc {
          width: 500px;
          display: flex;
          justify-content: center;
      }

        @schlittrix i don’t KNOW exactly how to make it work… I;m guessing as I haven’t played with this at all… SO… its quite possible it wouldn’t work…

        i’ll try to get to this a little later today

        so this works

        .newsfeed-desc {
            width: 500px;
            position: absolute;
            left: 37%;
            text-align: center;
        }
        

        use this algorithm to calc the left edge
        (((yy-xx)/2)/yy)*100
        where xx is the width of your news area
        and yy is the width of your screen

        also, notice the leading dot (.) on the class name, this is required

        one other thing… the align: center, aligns EVER line centered… so the 1st line won’t fill to the width …
