@Mykle1 but just to make sure, changes only go in the config.js file in the config folder, dont touch the js files in each of hte modules, and if needed, modify the css files in each module correct? ive just been a bull in a china shop even if most of it is working well. thanks!

Each module has a ReadMe that describes the config.js options. You’re not really changing the config.js file. You’re choosing options that the author has provided

, dont touch the js files in each of hte modules

Correct. Those are part of the module itself

, and if needed, modify the css files in each module correct?

You modify the custom.css file FOR each module, not IN the module folder

@Mykle1 yep on the same page now! ill stop messing with the js files in each modules folder. thanks

You’re welcome. I did it too, at first

@jbeck615 The custom.css file is in the css directory in /pi/MagicMirror not within each module directory.

[jbeck615]

@jproehl yep i am aligned after getting that clarification earlier. HUGE thanks

[jbeck615]

@Mykle1 quick question, at the bottom of the css coding above, what does “selector” mean? thanks again!

@jbeck615 it’s kind of a query to which elements you want a css rule to be applied

Almost accomplished this look today. Got some duplicate weather showing up I’m sure I can fix. The main problem I’m having is: No Realistic icons for weather at all. :(

Are you using WunderGround weather? If so, make sure you have coloricon: true, in your config. Like this.

module: 'MMM-WunderGround', // Just for current weather
    			position: 'top_center',
    			config: {
        		apikey: 'YOUR API KEY', // private; don't share!
        		pws: 'pws:KNYNEWYO103', // Richmondtown Weather Station - Very Cool
			currentweather: 1,
        		coloricon: true,
			animationSpeed: 5000,
    			roundTmpDecs: 0,
    			UseCardinals: 1,
			windunits: "mph", // bft or mph

@Mykle1 Definitely using WunderGround…got the colors changed and have coloricon: true…gonna go double check it again! lol

[cyberphox]

@Mykle1 ok so turns out all this time I was using an older WunderGround module. Once I did a git pull and updated - bam - there were the realistic icons!

Now I have to play with widths! how did you manage to fit your calendar, date/weather, and weather forecast all along the top! LOL

Yup, that’ll do it. You won’t forget that ever again, will ya? ;-)

Now I have to play with widths! how did you manage to fit your calendar, date/weather, and weather forecast all along the top! LOL

in custom.css

body {
  margin: 20px; /* This made the entire screen have a 20px border. Thanks to Strawberry-3.141  */
  height: calc(100% - 40px);
  width: calc(100% - 40px);
}

That gives you a margin of only 20pixels around the entire screen. You can go even closer but I didn’t want anything too close to the edge. That’s enough to gain you some more real estate. Also, I have my monitor set to its highest resolution. You might want to try that.
Then I simply put calendar in top_left, date and weather both top_middle and weather forecast top_right.

@Mykle1 Tried adding the CSS and didn’t really seem like anything changed. Checked my monitor settings in Display settings and it said it detected my monitor at 1015x1856
Maybe I’m not getting a full 1200x1920 resolution?

Never mind…running tvservice -s shows 1920x1080 resolution…must be something little i am missing again!

Thanks for posting this! I just have a problem with systemstats-module. If I have a space between “System” and “Load”, the two words will go into two lines. If I write in “System_Load”, however, I get it to stay on one line. It’s like there’s a < br > hidden somewhere lol. Any ideas? Thanks again.
