Cannot change font size or colour of Alert; using MMM-Remote-Control to send alert

superior_carter

I have a custom css set up but no matter what I seem to try, as far as I can get is increasing the size of the alert box. I want to make the font much larger, and make the title text color a more visible shade. I tried a solution on an old forum post but it had no effect on my alerts.

any help would be appreciated!

@superior_carter many times the content you need to style is not clearly indentifiable

luckily the browser has a developers window, ctrl-shift-i that will allow you to examine and change styles .

the important part about css is the stuff before the {, called the selector clause.
it selects the elements the stuff AFTER the { will be applied to.

I use this one to help me remember all the options. and they can be combined together. space separated means and, somewhere in this tree.
no spaces means on the same element

so put up an alert and then enter the developers window, or the other way. either work

@superior_carter
it looks like the module uses these classes
