Blackscreen after changing custom.css

  • J

    Hi,

    I just started to customise my MagicMirror. Everything I did so far was setting it up and entering my location in the config.js. Everything was fine, the mirror worked.
    Then I found this custom.css code in this forum, so I copy pasted it and replaced mine.

    html {
  cursor: none;
  overflow: hidden;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display: none;
}

body {
  margin: 5px;
  position: absolute;
  height: calc(100% - 10px);
  width: calc(100% - 10px);
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;

  font-weight: 400;
  font-size: 2em;
  line-height: 1.5em;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

    After starting the mirror I had a black screen. So I deleted the code in the custom.css file and wrote body {} . As I remembered this was the code it was written in before.
    But I still get a black screen, even deleting the code or deleting the file doesn’t help. Restarting didn’t help, too.

    Any idea what I can do. Does someone has the old original custom.css code? Probably it wasn’t body {}.

    @juju Yep, just body {}: custom.css at GitHub

    ty for the code. Sadly it didn’t help. It’s so weird, I set the whole css and config folder back to master-version and I still get a black screen. That are the only two folders I touched so far.
    I think the only way I can fix this is to reinstall everything.
