Resizing font size of modules

[sdetweil]

@Rags

so,you select the module (class)
from the doc
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/customcss.html#target-a-specific-module

.newsfeed                 {
  font-size: ???;
}

custom.css ALWAYS wins when the selector clause is correct

[Rags]

@sdetweil I have made changes to both custom.css file and newsfeed.css file. I also copied the custom.css file into newsfeed module folder. Nothing seems to work.

css/custom.css configuration;

.MMM-pihole-stats {
color: #fff; /* change the font color */
}

.MMM-pihole-stats .dimmed {
color: #aaa; /* change the color of dimmed elements */
}

.MMM-pihole-stats .bright {
color: #ff0; /* change the color of bright elements */
}
.MMM-pihole-stats .small.bright {
color: red;
}
.MMM-pihole-stats {
font-size: 60px;
}

**.newsfeed {

font-size:70px;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}**

newsfeed.css configuration;

iframe.newsfeed-fullarticle {
width: 100vw;
/* very large height value to allow scrolling */
height: 3000px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border: none;
z-index: 1;
}

.region.bottom.bar.newsfeed-fullarticle {
bottom: inherit;
top: -90px;
}

.newsfeed-list {
list-style: none;
}

.newsfeed-list li {
text-align: justify;
font-size:70px;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}

Need further help please.

@Rags
custom.css should be placed in your ~/MagicMirror/css, where the custom.css.sample exists still or had existed once.

[Rags]

@MMRIZE It is still placed there ( /home/pi/MagicMirror/css/custom.css) , and configured with font-size:60px. I only copied that file into newsfeed module folder since the font size was not increasing, and thought to just try if it works by placing it into the newsfeed module folder.

@Rags

Try this in your custom.css

.newsfeed-title {
  font-size: 60px;
  color: green;
}

.newsfeed-source {
  font-size: 40px;
  color: magenta;
}

@MMRIZE you should follow the correct model

.modulename ....... {

}

while it didn’t make acdifference here, it will sometime

[sdetweil]

@Rags in the case where there is no space between the class names

.xxx.yyy

that means they are ALL specified together on the same element

when there IS. space
.xxx. .yyy

that means the element which is a child of the element with the more left

.xxx
.yyy

iframe however is hard, cause you don’t have control of what is inside the iframe, it has its own document and css tree

again the developers window will help

if things are selected I. the custom.css u provide that means I spelled it wrong or the order is wrong…
oh and css is case sensitive just like JavaScript

[Rags]

@MMRIZE I am stumped. The changes to the color happened, but the resizing still not responding.

[sdetweil]

@Rags while in the developers window, with the element u want to change selected , the upper right window in the dev env allows you to apply styles to that element. (green box)

so color, font-size, etc…
in the middle pane pof the dev env, on the bottom row is the selector path to that element (pink box)

[MMRIZE]

@Rags
C of ‘CSS’ is cascading.
Probably somewhere in your css files, the prior selector of the same target would be defined with font-size.

You can watch which selectors and properties are linked to your target element with the frontend dev-console.

Or you can just restart with “clean” custom.css again and just add one rule and check how it works. Then do one-by-one until you can understand what you are doing now.

Good luck.
