THANKS! (major lightbulb).
Happy 4th to you and @Wilco89

.module.compliments .bright {
color: #ff0000;
}

Should work. (Don’t forget the space)

.module.compliments .xlarge  <--- notice the space

Without the space, it’s looking for a single tag that has all three rules applied, so it’s looking for class="module compliments xlarge". When you add the space, it’s now looking for two separate tags, a parent tag that has a class with both "module compliments" as rules, and then a child tag that has a class with "xlarge" for a rule.

Does that make sense?

While I’m at it: just so that I understand: since compliments.js references thin xlarge bright I could have changed any of those three? They were referenced, so I can overwrite them? Ie in my custom.css:

.module.compliments.bright {
  color: #ff0000;
}

or

.module.compliments.xlarge{
  color: #ff0000;
}

would/should both in effect do the same thing?

Or can I just change EVERYTHING in compliments to be color: #ff0000? ie

.module.compliments{
  color: #ff0000;
}

(which I tried, and it did not work :( )

<div class="region top left">
  <div class="container">
    <div id="module_1_clock" class="module clock clock">...</div>   <== this pertains to the clock only
    <div id="module_2_calendar" class="module calendar calendar">   <== this pertains to the calendar only
      <div class="module-content">
        < --some random tag that uses the class 'bright' in here-- >
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Now I can see that the 'bright' tag that I want to change, has several parent tags above it. Since I only want to affect the calendar one, I can then create a CSS rule that says:

.module.calendar .bright {
  color: #ff0000;
}

This says, to specifically look for the element that has the "module calendar" class, then within that, look for anything that uses the class "bright".

Now only my calendar is affected (and shows red text). Now just for grins, remove the first part, and just make it

.bright {
  color: #ff0000;
}

And you’ll notice all of your text is now red. By adding the specific parent class or ID, you can be very specific which class you’re targeting.

Happy hacking!

.compliments{
color: #3CF,
Etc: 80px,
etc: 80px,
fontfamily: Ariel,}

Right click (inspect element) and look for the right class name (that is the one to use).

IF I want to change the font of, say, the compliments,
THEN I poke around and see that part of compliments.js

    var compliment = document.createTextNode(complimentText);
    var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
    wrapper.className = "thin xlarge bright";

Cool: I could redefine, say, xlarge in my custom.css. But that seems a silly hack, and I’d mess up everything else that also uses xlarge. Not good. Much better to change the color of compliments only. How do I do that? Say I want

compliments
.color: #3CF
.font-size: 80px
.line-height: 80px
.font.family: "Ariel"

I suspect that this is very obvious how to change my custom.css, but you guys all seem helpful :)
Hey: I already figured out how to push things around on the screen to where I want them to be. Next, I have to stretch everything, since the fonts seem a bit compressed. Lots of fun. Ultimately I’ll write my own modules, I hope.

Thanks in advance!

Alternatively you can also look at the raw HTML generated through your browser’s console (just pulling up the page’s source won’t show the full HTML generated.)

Have a great 4th!

Looks great!

I’ll post a link later today when I get a chance to pull it all together.

Looks great! I’d love a copy of the code please and thank you.

As for the source code, you don’t have to post a full image, just the modules folder (assuming everything you have on there is in modules.) You can simply zip it up (you’d have to install zip first if you don’t already have it, 'sudo apt-get install zip'):

$ cd ~/MagicMirror
$ zip -9 -r modules.zip modules

Then you can post that 'modules.zip' file somewhere.

OR, alternatively, you can push your code up to a Github repository so others can download them selectively instead of grabbing the entire modules folder. It’s also easier to maintain your code that way.
