@PierreGode Thank you for your help and no need to apologise for the Swedish!
I have tried using your approach (and your icons and colours) with new keywords to match - and the colouring works but I still don’t get the icons (I get empty frames).
It is making me wonder if there is an underlying dependency that I’m missing. I have checked that Calendar is up to date and it is, as is my MM installation.
I will keep on battling away to identify the issue!

Course we could get around this hassle if Electron would just support full emojis. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
@RGN01 i just installed a new instance of MM, and used your settings for symbol, color and symbolClassName. and they all worked.
I only used this classname
symbolClassName: “fas fa-”, the other works too “fas fa-fw fa-”
-
@BKeyport Thank you - perhaps that is my path of least resistance - reinstall MM.
I’ll give that a go on the weekend, if I don’t figure this out before.
-
@RGN01 what version are you running?
see the startup messages or the top of package.json -
@sdetweil thanks for your reply.
"name": "magicmirror", "version": "2.23.0", -
@RGN01 so reinstalling won’t help … as u have the latest
how did u install?? manual??
do this , reinstall the fonts
cd ~/MagicMirror/fonts rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json npm installthen try MM again
-
@sdetweil Thank you. I have done the font reinstall and rebooted. Still the same, unfortunately.
When you said “then try MM again” did you mean reinstall or just see if it works?
-
@RGN01 just see if it works
-
@sdetweil Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, no, it did not.
-
@RGN01 ok, lets open the developers window (ctrl-shift-i on the MM keyboard) , select the elements tab , select the pointer top left and use the mouse to position over the icon in the 1st element
see where its looking

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your assistance - I really do appreciate it!
{keyword: 'Recycling', symbol: 'fas fa-house', color: 'Red'}, {keyword: 'Rubbish', symbol: 'fas fa-person', color: 'Gold'} ], calendars: [ { url: 'https://calendar.google.com//Calendar1Redacted/basic.ics', symbol: 'fa-house', },It is matching to the ‘Rubbish’ keyword.

@RGN01 said in Calendar and Font Awesome - no icons:
{keyword: 'Recycling', symbol: 'fas fa-house', color: 'Red'}, {keyword: 'Rubbish', symbol: 'fas fa-person', color: 'Gold'}there is the problem…
u need to split the class and the symbol
symbol: 'person', symbolClassName: "fas fa-fw fa-",the system appends the symbol name TO the classname
here is the default value
defaultSymbolClassName: “fas fa-fw fa-”,so, if it doesn’t need to be different (paid for icons use a different prefix)
then don’t set it…and U can set the prefix (classname) once per calendar in the list of calendars
symbolClassName: “fas fa-fw fa-”,NOT on every symbol entry
-
@sdetweil Thank you. You have helped a lot but I’m still battling. I’ve had a long day and am struggling to concentrate so will resume this tomorrow.

@sdetweil Thanks again. I went back to basics and removed all ‘my’ entries from config.js and replaced them with the config from the reference page, slightly edited. This is what I now have:
{ module: "calendar", position: "bottom_left", config: { coloredText: false, coloredBorder: false, coloredSymbol: false, coloredBackground: false, calendars: [ { url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/Calendar1Redacted/basic.ics', symbol: 'calendar', }, ], } },Which delivers:
Looking at the developers window, I see:

@RGN01 I reviewed on my system, used the same symbol
same content… mine shows the icon
edit: one question… do you have any font definitions in your custom.css?
SO, this tells me the fonts didn’t get installed, so do
edit… note I am adding on the vendor folder … as that is where the fontawesome css comes fromcd ~/MagicMirror/fonts rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json npm install cd ../vendor rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json ls npm installthen check the folder contents this is what mine looks like
