I believe the changes I made under 1) should have removed any call for a forecast.

This page will explain the effects of the individual config changes that you made.

@jproehl said in Throwing down the gauntlet:

I do not get any color changes like you have in the forecast at the upper right. Did you have to change something else to get those?

This goes in your custom.css file for the coloring that I have. You can change the colors to your liking

.MMM-WunderGround .max-temp {
  color: #f66;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .min-temp {
  color: #0ff;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .weather-icon {
  color: #f93;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .day {
  color: #6f6;
}

@Mykle1 and/or @strawberry-3.141:

Great, thanks for the color update, I’ll try that in a minute.

As for the current weather, I’ve been looking at the web page for MMM-WunderGround extensively. I don’t think all the changes I made to your current weather module call to WWW-WunderGround in your config.js were necessary, but I thought I should try to shut off ALL parameters that were possibly related to the forecast to see if I could get rid of that last line of header symbols used for the forecast. None did, because I still have those 3 icons (max thermometer, min thermometer and the umbrella) right below the current conditions icon and current temperature.

Ok, well that is beyond me but I’ll go out on a limb here and say that Strawberry will be able to help you with that. That’s a custom.css thing and I do believe he is the resident expert. When he does fix it for you (because I am sure that he will) be sure to post the css entry so that I can see how it looks on mine. Right now, I sorta like the little icons

[jproehl]

@Mykle1 and/or @strawberry-3-141:
I suspect that Strawberry will straighten me out on this.Those additions to custom.css do not change my font colors. I wonder if I have an error somewhere that is interfering with the proper loading of the custom.css file. When I start the display, I see a flash of text, which I think lists node.js, that disappears very fast that might be an error message. But since it’s so fast I can’t tell.

@jproehl

Alright, I’ll check back in here to see how you make out. I’m interested in the outcome. I’m off to dinner right now

@jproehl

.region.top.right .MMM-WunderGround table th {
	display: none;
}

[Mykle1]

@strawberry-3.141

Don’t know why, but I’m still amazed! Once again, Strawberry to the rescue!

[jproehl]

@strawberry-3.141 Hey, thanks for the reply. I’m not totally sure where to add that text, so I appended it to my custom.css file. But I don’t see any difference in the MagicMirror view.

Here are my custom.css and my config.js (with the appid’s removed). You’ll probably see what I’ve done wrong right away

================== custom.css ==================

body {
.clock .time {
color: #99F;
}

.clock .date {
	color: #99F;
}

.calendar .header {
	color: #F00;
}

.newsfeed .title {
	color: #F00;
	font-size: large; 
}

.MMM-WunderGround .max-temp {
 color: #f66;

.MMM-WunderGround .min-temp {
 color: #0ff;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .weather-icon {
  color: #f93;
}

.MMM-WunderGround .day {
  color: #6f6;
}

.region.top.center .MMM-WunderGround table.small {
  display:none;
}

.region.top.right .MMM-WunderGround table:not(.small) {
  display:none;
}

.region.top.right .MMM-WunderGround table.small td:nth-child(6) {
  display:none;
}

.region.top.right .MMM-WunderGround table th {
display: none;
   }

}

@jproehl Don’t know why it split the code like that, but is it a sign? I posted all of this as a block of text (file upload wasn’t allowed to my new user). So does this splitting of the text suggest a bad formatting command in either or both files?

[Mykle1]

@jproehl said in Throwing down the gauntlet:

I appended it to my custom.css file. But I don’t see any difference in the MagicMirror view.

First, close out the body with a }

body  {
} 

.clock .time {
color: #99F;
}

[jproehl]

@Mykle1 Doesn’t all of that text go within the body? There is a close } at the very end of the custom.css file that closes the body. Is that misplaced?

@jproehl said in Throwing down the gauntlet:

Nope. Before you paste code, simply put three back ticks It's under your tilde key, then close out the code with three more back ticks

No sir, not in this case. css is a bit different than config. That last } in your css is not doing anything. You can remove it. If you fixed the body and save the css file, you should see your changes after relaunching MM

[jproehl]

@Mykle1 Okay, thanks! I was way off! I made that change and now I get red text for the high temperature (so that’s progress, yea!!) but all the other stuff is still gray. I must still have some other syntax errors some where. Back to looking at the code …

[jproehl]

@Mykle1 Okay, I got it! I was missing a close bracket in my

.MMM-WunderGround .min-temp

definition, and fixing that fixed everything!! Even the line of icons in the current weather disappeared!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Glad to be of service. I’m just paying back Strawberry’s kindness to me by helping

[jproehl]

@Mykle1 Well, I applaud your efforts (it’s getting rarer in this messed up country) … I hope someday to figure this stuff out to a point where I can help another newbie. Thanks again!

New York City, USA. I’m just trying to be good representative of my city and country.

I hope someday to figure this stuff out to a point where I can help another newbie. Thanks again!

Dude, one month ago I knew less than you, guaranteed. You will be helping others soon, guaranteed.

Peace

I just stole your coloring code for the date and time. haha, so thank you. See? You’re helping already. :thumbsup_tone1:
