custom.css

I found myself squinting to read the source of the newsfeed in its default, dimmed state, so I jumped all over this. Now, with your css entry, and a little adjustment on my part, I now have my font-size: at 18px and its color: set to #99F.

Every time I think my mirror is perfect, you make it better. genuflecting We are not worthy!

Many thanks, many times. :thumbsup_tone2:

Great, works like a charm! Thanks again!

@strawberry-3.141 Hi: Can you point me to a reference where I can learn how to determine the precise terms to use for doing this? For example, how do you determine that “div.light.small.dimmed” was the proper parameter to enter to change the text I was after?

@jproehl it’s not super simple to find out what to write in the css if you are not familiar with css and javascript since most of that is names specified by the coders of the magic mirror and the modules,

If it’s not specified in the module documentation you can look in the modules .js file and search for the text className after that is usually specified one or more classes that will determine the appearance of what is being displayed.

The className should also be visible if you look at the html code in the browser.

@broberg Okay, I’ll poke around in the codes. Thanks!

@jproehl curious if you ever solved #2? i got the same issue with the icons showing up under the current

@jbeck615 Hi: That problem went away when I fixed a missing close bracket “}” in the custom.css. So, if you are getting the extra icon line in your current conditions display for the same reason I was, check to make sure that all of the entries in custom.css are of the form:

.“modulename” .“className” {
“parameter”: “value”;
}

A concrete example of this is:

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

One of my entries was missing that very last bracket. When I fixed that, the icon line went away and all the subsequent parameters that I was trying to change in the custom.css file also got changed.

I suspect that when that syntax error showed up the rest of the custom.css file was not processed and the parameter on which I left off the bracket and all the subsequent ones were never included.

Hope this helps! Good luck.
