Regions

Yes I added code to custom.css not main.css. Thanks for all

Mykle1

Can you then suggest the equivalent change to make the proper way without modifying the main.css?

Well, any changes that you consider making in the main.css can be made in the custom.css file without changing the main.css file. The custom.css file will override what is in the main.css file. This way you’re not altering any core files and your modifications will be accepted. When it’s time to upgrade to a newer version of MM the upgrade won’t abort because of changes you’ve made to the core files and your custom.css changes will survive the upgrade. :-)

I’m still learning things every day and I enjoy the process. That’s the whole point for me.

Peace!

Yes I would HIGHLY suggest you do not change the main.css file… that could send other modules or positions in to chaos. Use the custom css as Mykle1 suggested :)

Sorry if this has been asked. Is there a way to do left_side and right_side? I’m displaying my mirror on a chromecast so it’s locked into landscape mode at 720p and there isn’t a whole lot of room for each of the regions. I’d rather replace top_left and bottom_left with left_side, and just use the entire edge.

@toots u could edit the index.html to add your left/right locations, and add entries to custom.css for them

hi all, how could i center this kodi-websocket module between these two?

using bottom left for map, bottom center for kodi websocket and bottom right for wind

i tried custom.css module placement but did not work

.module.MMM-Kodi-WebSocket{
left : 600 px,
}

can you position left middle?

sdetweil

@pastormingle no, not a valid position

here is the list from the MM doc

im just diving into this project (mech eng with very limited programming experience)

i have the MM installed and running on my mac using terminal/electron. ive been in the config editing it and taking out stuff i dont want and added CalendarExt3 and have that working. im doing it on my mac for now waiting on my PI to come in the mail. from what ive read it will also speed up the editing phase vs pop it into the pi over and over.

im about to start digging into size/area/color/font/etc and have a combo of questions:

the picture posted in the start of this thread is very helpful for the zones. i want to run mine in landscape view. will those zones be the same in landscape vs portrait? i can’t tell if it is because i haven’t configured it properly for my monitors or if it needs to be adjusted (portrait to landscape). if so, is there another version of the same picture but in the other orientation?

sorry if these are self explanatory questions once i dive into it more just wanted to ask to help the process

@roth_nj The regions will be the same but obviously the sizes will be different

You can do the same color view by adding a background color to each one of the regions in custom CSS and then you can see where they are
