      I have things looking basically how I want it. My main goal was a digital wall calendar to replace our large paper wall calendar. My only complaint with MMM-MonthlyCalendar is that I would love to show 6 weeks to be able to see further out (and better make use of the space). I tried switching to MMM-CalendarExt3, but text wrapping is a non-negotiable for me, on top of frustrations getting it to sit in the right space on screen. Is it possible to change the number of weeks shown on MMM-MonthlyCalendar? Is there a better calendar mod for what I’m trying to accomplish?

        @LaeHarr going a solid number of weeks outside a month is kinda rough. What I would do is use something like MMM-Multimonth and enable 2 months.

        The “E” in “Javascript” stands for “Easy”

          @LaeHarr it’s not directly what you asked for. Calendars suck up a lot of space .

          Many users use mmm-pages, carousel or other modules to give multiple pages

          I use ext3 in month mode and show 3 months in rotation

          I don’t know if that module can display sep months as two instances so you could put them on sep pages

            @BKeyport Thank you. I’ve already tried adding a second month with this module, but it took too much space (which ended up cutting off my view of the first week). I may mess with turning it vertically and seeing if I like that better with two months, or keeping the four weeks as-is (it just feels like a waste of space!).

              @sdetweil Thank you! I didn’t consider using multiple pages. This is something I am going to look into and see if it will work for my purposes. A bummer that I can’t easily turn this into a 6-week calendar, but I do appreciate knowing that it’s not possible so that I don’t waste my time.

              Unrrelated, but because I don’t want to take up space making an entire new post, what am I missing to change the background color for different calendars? I’ve tried “color:” in js, but it only changes the text color. I tried using name and then calling it in the css, but must be missing a step since that isn’t working either. I’m feeling like I’m missing something terribly simple over here.

                Background color is tough, because the intent is to seamlessly allow the background to show thru for a consistent look and also allow for background images/color

                If the modules were all opaque, you would have blobs of color all over the screen

                But for css it’s the background-color style to use in custom.css

                  @LaeHarr as a separate topic on CSS. many times the exact mechanism isn’t documented or clear

                  as MM is built on a web browser, all the browser CSS approaches work, if you can figure them out!..

                  to that end, the browser provides a development environment where you can review and test setting styles on the content

                  see the second link in my signature below for a starter use on that.
