@strawberry-3.141 What do you put into your config.js file?

I really like the design layout you’ve come up with - Kudos!

Thanks! It’s just how I pictured it, but it only happened through the goodwill of Strawberry 3.141

@Mykle1 and/or @strawberry-3.141: I’m still having problems getting things to look like Mykle’s. If I just put those 9 lines in my custom.css file and have no reference to the MMM-WunderGround module in my config.js file, I get nothing displayed for my weather info. Does this mean that the custom.css file isn’t being read? Do I have to place my custom.css file somewhere other than pi/MagicMirror/css/?

When I add references to the MMM-WunderGround module in config.js, I get the weather info, but I do not get the format you have. Presumably the parameters set in the module reference override the custom.css info in some way.

That’s why I was wondering what you have in your config.js file to initiate the MMM-WunderGround module.

My design/layout ideas are in high demand. :thumbsup_tone1:

This is my entry in the config. Yes, there are 2 entries. One is for the current weather and one is for the weather forecast, only seperate and in different locations. You still have to enter what Strawberry told you to enter in your custom.css file. Then all should be well.

{
    			module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
    			position: 'top_center',
    			config: {
        		apikey: 'YOUR API KEY', // private; don't share!
        		pws: 'pws:KNYNEWYO103', // Richmondtown Weather Station - Very Cool
			currentweather: 1,
        		coloricon: true,
        		hourly: '0',
        		fctext: '1',
        		fcdaycount: "10",
        		fcdaystart: "0",
        		hourlyinterval: "2",
        		hourlycount: "1",
			animationSpeed: 5000,
        		alerttime: 10000,
        		alerttruncatestring: "english:",
    			roundTmpDecs: 0,
    			UseCardinals: 1,
    			layout: "vertical",
			windunits: "mph",
    			sysstat: "0"
			}
		},
		{
    			module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
    			position: 'top_right',
    			config: {
        		apikey: 'YOUR API KEY AGAIN', // private; don't share!
        		pws: 'pws:KNYNEWYO103', // Richmondtown Weather Station - Very Cool
			currentweather: 0,
        		coloricon: true,
        		hourly: '1',

        		fcdaycount: "10",
        		fcdaystart: "1",
        		hourlyinterval: "2",
        		hourlycount: "1",
			animationSpeed: 5000,
        		alerttime: 10000,
        		alerttruncatestring: "english:",

@Mykle1 Thanks! I’m much closer. There are a couple of minor differences that I’m trying to ferret out:

I had to change a few lines in your module call to MMM-WunderGround for the current weather - I zeroed out the fctext, fcdaycount, hourlyinterval and hourlycount otherwise I got the forecast right below the current conditions in addition to the one at upper-right
Under my current conditions color icon/temperature, I see a line with two thermometers and an umbrella (i.e. the header for the forecasts) which I have no idea how to get rid of. I believe the changes I made under 1) should have removed any call for a forecast.
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?

Thanks a bunch!

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

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

@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.
