Apply color to future events in CalendarExt3

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 that’s ext3 not showing color

In the off chance of some module install fluke
Delete the Mmm-CalendarExt3 folder
Then git clone
And npm install in the folder created by clone

Then restart MagicMirror

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil No change unfortunately. Both event streams load fine and with color, but the calendar still is displaying everything just white, except for one event that did come with color

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 just for testing, if you have a mouse on that system
Mouse over the event without color and click. This will show a new view of that event with the rest in blur behind,

Does the text appear in the proper color?
Escape key to exit that view

Could you also add

coloredSymbol:true, 

To the base calendar module config.
Next to

coloredText:true

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil clicking on the event did bring the color in on that new view

It didn’t seem like the coloredSymbol and coloredText had an effect, but not sure if I put them in the right spot? Should I remove the old colored:true, value?

{
			module: "calendar",
			disabled:false,
			coloredSymbol:true,
			coloredText:true,
			classes: "page0",
			header: "XX Calendar'",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			   colored: true,
				calendars: [
					{
						name: "xx_cal",
						color: 'yellow',
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
						url: "https:basic.ics"
	


			module: "calendar",
			classes: "page0",
			coloredSymbol:true,
			coloredText:true,
			header: "YY Calendar'",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			   colored: true,
				calendars: [
					{
					name: "yy_cal",
						color: 'green',
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check-o",
						url: "webcal:

@kkmirr04 they replace the colored:true which did everything,
Now you can control each separately

Inside the config: { section
Before the calendars: [ list

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil Still the same results with the coloredSymbol and coloredText unfortunately

@kkmirr04

@kristjanesperanto can you help here? Seems ext3 is having trouble with color….

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@kkmirr04 Does it work when you add this to your custom.css?

.CX3 .event.singleday .headline .title,
.CX3 .event.singleday .headline .time {
  color: var(--calendarColor);
}

[kkmirr04]

@KristjanESPERANTO So I really don’t know anything about modifying CSS , I can’t locate a custom.css file . Would that be in /magicmirror/CSS or MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3 folders? And where in those respective files should it be placed - just at the top or bottom?

Sorry, I’m not a programmer by any stretch, just a hobbyist trying to figure it out

[sdetweil]

@kkmirr04 in 2.36 custom.css would be located in the config folder. Before that in the css folder

If you had used my installer script it would have created an empty file for you.

Editing custom.css is just like editing config.js

Just a file of text

@KristjanESPERANTO that changed the results for me… now have color
