multiple modules in a region

roth_nj

that is awesome. looks like its actually in portrait but you rotated all the text to be read the other way? thats one way to skin that cat. i like it.

so, i know im not the first one to ask for a configuration like this. i know because i spent quite i bit of time searching and reading through all i could (here, github, reddit, etc)… it might be worth while putting together a polished post saying for a dakboard clone?

for reference. i went though and set up the dakboard but me being me, refused to pay for the upgrade. i needed it to handle 6 ical’s and wanted to be able to change the colors. simple things really, but they lock both those abilities behind the upgrade.

again, thank you very much. ill play around with it again tonight after work. im sure ill end up having some questions sooner or later

Only for those modules on the screen, the CSS is severely overridden. So when you add additional modules, you should carefully handle them.

just be careful , as he whacked the css pretty hard here to make this work, and other modules may no longer fit properly…

MM is after all, just a web page…

understood. as of now i only have the mmm_wallpaper and mmm_calenderext3 added in. i have half of the default modules turned off and only the clock+2 weathers still on atm. even if i do add something, it will be something like the default modules. something light and simple over the top of the photos

@sdetweil that’s half the fun of MM - whacking the CSS until you get what you want. :)

I was able to pop that code in easy enough and its all working well. this is all still running on my Mac to my monitor via electron so ill wait until I get it into my actual pi and wall display before going crazy with the finishing touches. (spacing, colors, boarders, edges, etc). hoping ill be able to get that part up and running this weekend.

one thing I was playing around with now trying to tweak but not having any luck is the fade of the calendar pictures to the right side of them. I tried the fadeedges config option for the calendar in the main config file but it was breaking it. would it be a module/config thing? or a css thing?

here’s what it looks like at the moment

That is not faded. It only assigns a pale blue colour to Saturday on cellHeader in CSS.
You can find .weekday_6 things in MMM-CalendarExt3.css then override it in your custom.css.

.CX3 .weekday_6 {
  color: #339;
}

And long-full-day name looks somewhat ugly, So you’d better consider headerWeekDayOptions: "short", or “narrow”.

a little misunderstanding here. i am talking about this zone at the wallpaper background to the calendar.

i already changed the sunday red and saturday blue to both be white at this point

See “.region.top.bar”. I put a gradient layer there.

@MMRIZE

bingo… awesome thanks again. I was looking for anything with fade. gradient makes sense — I’m not a programmer in any sense. after changing that, I spread the wallpaper out to 40% but left the calendar overlapping a little bit still at 66%

its getting real close now. but like I said I’m not going to mess with too much more until I get it up on my pi+monitor

thanks again for the help
