      thank you very much for your great birthday overview.
      Unfortunately, as you wrote here ( https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18107/mmm-birthdays/11 ), the list is limited to the end of the month or year.
      Is it possible to add 2 more options to extend the display beyond the end of the month or year? Because this way I can only see at the beginning of the month/year if someone has a birthday on 01.01., for example.
      And … could the list also have an underlined heading “Birthdays”?

      I wish you all a happy new year. Stay healthy.

      Jens

        git pull

        to get underlined header just add the header to the config

        {

                position:'top_left',
                header:"birthday list header",

        					dimmEntries:true,  // true: dims entries and the associated
        							     //       symbol when the date has expired.
        						             // false: dont display entries and the associated
        							     //        symbol when the date has expired.

        							     // loading all at the same time. This only happens once,

        					updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
        							     // This is to prevent collision with other
        							     // modules refreshing at the same time.
        					currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
        					maxEntries: 0,	     // maximum entries to show, default is all
        					dateFormat: '',	     // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
        					ageFormat:'',	     // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
        					debug:false
                        }
        }

          @MyMirror what if you change
          currentMothOnly: to false from true?

          underline, use custom.css to add the underline

                      10 maxEntries just for the test, if this works, i would go to 4.
                      On my screen I get this:

                            did u change the csv?

                                No, i took your example after getting no output of mine.
                                So the only changes are in the config regarding the currentMonthOnly and the max Entries.
                                Hmmm :confused_face:

                                      Yes, of course.
                                      What should i try?
                                      Add this:
                                      15/01/1987,suzie

                                        @MyMirror that second line shouldbe there already, do this

                                        cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist
                                        git checkout data/bdl.csv
                                        

                                        then look at the file again

                                        it should start like mine
                                        suzie on the second line
