Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

[Manu85]

@sdetweil Ok, I will try, thanks for your help, you are the best:clapping_hands:

[Manu85]

@sdetweil I tried but it doesn’t work, I don’t know if I did things wrong, in config.js I added the line < classes: “current”,’ > I changed forecast to current:

{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weather",
			classes: "current",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Meteo Ile d'Olonne",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "Olonne-sur-Mer,France",
				locationID: "2989572", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
			}
		},
		
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Meteo",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "Olonne-sur-Mer,France",
				locationID: "2989572", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
				
			}

then I changed the first part of the lines in my custom ccs by adding current, I send you the first lines, but it doesn’t change anything, the icons are still identical:

/* Aenderungen Wetter Icon */
/* Aenderungen aktuelles Wetter */

.current .weathericon {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 0;
  height: 200px;
  right: 180px;
  margin-top: -65px;
}

.current .wi-day-sunny {
content: url("/css/icons/day.svg");
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 7px;
height: 100px;
}

.current .wi-day-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-1.svg");
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 7px;
height: 100px;
}

@Manu85 and you restarted MM, correct?
can u open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the browser being used to display MM,

then select the elements tab, and the pointer in the top left corner and move the mouse over the page content til it select all the current weather content, then click

on the right side you will see the css classes used and where they came from
main.css at the bottom and the stck over overrides bottom to top…

strikethru means overridden by some class higher up

in the module css you should see the name current

here is alink to a topic about using the dev window elements tab
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/90135

here I used forecast (.forecast in the custom.css) the yellow rectangles mark the content of interest
top left confirms that the the classes: was used
bottom left indicates the icon class to be used
top right shows that icon class, and its source (right edge)

@sdetweil
I use RealVNC Viewer and when I do ctrl-shift-i I have this window which opens I click at the top left and with my mouse I browse the lines, I have several lines with weather but when I click on them none opens another window

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, good

click the arrow pointer in the red box
then move the mouse over the weather content in the left side page, it will select the content as it goes… make sure the entire weather content is selected
then click

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 when its auto selected it will look like this

[Manu85]

@sdetweil
it’s complicated, I can’t have a selection like you, I selected the icon at the top with the cloud and the moon I have lines that have changed on the table on the right but I don’t have another window that opens

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 i’ve never done this over vnc…

the right panel is just hidden on your vnc screen. you might be able to scroll right

if you are in the same house as MM, you dont need to use vnc to view the page

as long as your config.js says

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhiltelist:[],

then any machine on the same network can attach, so you can do this from your windows machine too… and do the debug from there as well

[Manu85]

@sdetweil my js config says that!

fig = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, that means only apps INSIDE the same machine can connect

change

address:"localhost",  // means only inside same machine

to

address:"0.0.0.0",  // alows any device on any network this machine is connected to to connect

then also the whitelist

comment out the current line

// ipWhitelist: [ 127.....

and add a new line

   ipWhitelist:[],  // don't filter any connecting client addresses

then restart mm…
if you know the ip address of the pi (and u had to use it for vnc)
then open a tab on you pc browser and do

http://MM_ip_address????:8080

@sdetweil ok it’s done and it’s actually much better

[Manu85]

@sdetweil by doing ctrl shift i my window opened like this

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, it just has the developers window docked on the bottom…

helps when trying to do layout… nothing changes

if you want it docked on the right, use the … menu top right of the dev window and change it…

[Manu85]

@sdetweil
when I position myself on a weather icon, it gives this, I cannot choose several I have a “grid” which follows the mouse and which changes when I move

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, you have to drag the windows around/resize them in the developers window

[Manu85]

@sdetweil like that ?

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, very good…

now, up two lines is the module entry in the content,
and you can see that the extra class name has been added
(in pink)

so, in custom.css

.current  xxx

will target (select) content in that element tree

if you move down to one of the spans of the content
in green, and expand that , you will see the icon line,
if you select that in the next pane to the right you will see where the info comes from

[Manu85]

@sdetweil
I do what you tell me, but I must admit that I’m lost :-) I actually saw the “current” in the lines so that means that the icon is in the custom css, it’s that right? if so why can’t I manage it? you are too strong

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 so close…

you have to click on the element with the icon name

here you have to expand the span element (gold box)
(the one you expanded below the gold box only has text in it, not an icon)

[Manu85]

@sdetweil
there, am I on it? I’m going to get there, I’m going to get there !!!
