Apply color to future events in CalendarExt3

[kkmirr04]

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

@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);
}

@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

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO but how does that work for multiple calendars with different colors with events on the same month display

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@sdetweil CX3 should use each event’s source-calendar color even when multiple calendars are shown together in the same month view. Does it work with multiple calendars?

[sdetweil]

@KristjanESPERANTO it does work with multiple cals with different colors…

this used to be default behavior, did the module css get changed?

[kkmirr04]

@sdetweil This fixed it for me, both calendar event streams are pulling in colors and even across all ‘modes’ of EXT3 now. (month, week, day) and its extending out to all events I can see on the calendar.

Thank you both so much for all of the help on this, my two way glass just arrived so timing couldn’t be better!

Thanks!!!

Are you sure? Do you remember in which version it worked that way? I’m not aware of it ever being the default, but I could be wrong :)
