      .MB-Wetter-Temp .module-content div {
      color: “fuchsia”;
      }

      SO close… the color is NOT in quotes (in css)
      sorry I missed that before

      .MB-Wetter-Wind .module-content div {
        color: blue;
      }

      here I am using the dev window to override the blue to red… see the top right of the right column , note that the one from custom.css (just below), is strikethru to say it is overridden by something higher up
      if you uncheck the checkbox in front of the color:red; it will disable that value and the strikethru will go away and the text will be blue

        I guess your own CSS modification has enabled this…
        Without this the entry #text doesn’t have any opportunity to change anything…

            you are not styling the TEXT, you are styling the DIV that HOLDS the text
            (my css entry commented out, and the div selected)
            you cannot target the ‘text’ itself… only whatever holds it (p, div, span, table data…)

              Yes, understood.
              What I cannot understand and what doesn’t work for me is exactly this, what you (formerly) asked and demosntrated in your last post: touch this div -part…
              what you DO have:

              I do NOT have ! (for whatever reason!)
              I have the

               <div class="module-content">
              

              the following

              <div style" color: red;">
              

              is not present in my developer’s console:

              ???

                @rkorell yes you do
                the full html of that section

                <div id="module_26_MMM-JsonValue" class="module MMM-JsonValue MB-Wetter-Wind MMM-JsonValue">
                     <header class="module-header" style="display: none;"></header>
                     <div class="module-content" style="color: red;">   // you are trying THIS div
                            <div>  // but it needs to be THIS div -------------
                               <span class="fa-solid fa-wind"></span>  Wind:  3.5 m/s
                            </div>
                     </div>
                </div>
                

                .MB-Wetter-Wind // the class name on the div id=
                .module-content // then the div with the module content class
                div // then the div that HOLDS the text value

                ..MB-Wetter-Wind  .module-content (means whatever element has this defined) div 
                

                could also do

                ..MB-Wetter-Wind  div.module-content (means ONLY A DIV with class, a span with the same class would not match)  div 
                

                many styles are NOT inherited DOWN the tree

                because the span holds the icon, you can remove it for css design consideration of the text

                <div id="module_26_MMM-JsonValue" class="module MMM-JsonValue MB-Wetter-Wind MMM-JsonValue">
                     <header class="module-header" style="display: none;"></header>
                     <div class="module-content" style="color: red;">   // you are trying THIS div
                           <div>  // but it needs to be THIS div -------------
                                 Wind:  3.5 m/s
                           </div>
                     </div>
                </div>

                  @rkorell I think your div has the class margin-block-end added (maybe thru custom.css)

                    <div id="module_11_MMM-JsonValue" class="module MMM-JsonValue MB-Wetter-Wind" style="opacity: 1; position: static;">
                    <header class="module-header" style="display: none;"></header>
                    <div class="module-content">
                    <div style="margin-block-end: -30px;">
                    <span class="fa-solid fa-wind"></span>  Wind:  &nbsp;&nbsp;4 m/s
                    </div>
                    </div>
                    </div>
                    
                    

                    Is my complete HTML block for this…
                    Interesting enough YOU do not have this

                    "margin-block-end: -30px;"
                    

                    in your HTML …
                    THIS style is hard coded in the *.js file of module…

                    I give up.
                    Problem solved…

                    THANK you SO much!

                    Ralf

                      I give up.

                      but its the SAME result… you need to target the div INSIDE the module-content div

                      .module-content div {
                      color: …
                      }

                      this means
                      find the element(s) with class module-content
                      AND THEN
                      the div(s) inside that

                      selector is ALWAYS ALL that match

                      as the color style is not inherited down

                        @sdetweil You are - as always - right.
                        For some reasons NOW it works - tried again.
                        (And I already HAD tried exactly THIS dozens of times …).

                        THANKS!
