      That’s what I was thinking as well. After all it is just text in a <div> isn’t it?

        Actually, yes you could. Basically any HTML tag would (should?) work. I did a ‘split’ on a key character so I can apply two different styles, one on the quote, and one on the author. Slightly different approach.

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

            Too late, but here it goes.

            You can add all the quotes from the same author in a category (like motivational or life) and change the config file to show quotes from that category only.

            It’s upto you to add “~”, but if you do, they will follow different styles as set by the developer.

            @KirAsh4 , I’ve noticed that the selection of quotes isn’t true random. Every time I start MM, I get the same quotes.

              Love the module, works a treat.
              Can’t figure out how to change the size of the quote and/or author however.

              I’ve tried adding the following to custom.css

              .random_quotes .medium {
              font-size: 50px;
              }
              

              and

              .random_quotes .quote .medium {
              font-size: 50px;
              }
              

              Neither work however.
              I think you’ll be able to see what I tried to do here, but please could you help me figure out where I am going wrong?

              Thanks in advance.
