Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

I was just looking on how to implement these icons in the MMM-forecast-io module and noticed, that there are way more possible conditions then available icons. And this is the case for most of the icon sets.

Vulcain

@lucianomag I try this set, its not bad !!

PhilReis

@Vulcain how did you implented the weather icons?

Vulcain

@PhilReis just a try but, here an example

I put all the icons in a directory called “icon” (/home/pi/MagicMirror/css/icon) in the css directory and i configure :

custom.css (/home/pi/MagicMirror/css/custom.css)


.wi-cloudy:before {

content: url("/css/icon/28.png");

}

.weatherforecast .wi-cloudy:before {

content: "";
height:60px;
width:87.5px;
display: block; 
background-image : url("/css/icon/28.png");
background-size: 87.5px 60px;
}

config.js (/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js)

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				location: "Montpellier",
				locationID: "2992166", 
				appid: "XXXXXXXX",
				roundTemp: true,
				degreeLabel: true,
				showPeriod: false,
				onlyTemp: true,
				iconTable: {
    					'01d': 'wi-day-sunny',
    					'02d': 'wi-day-cloudy',
    					'03d': 'wi-cloudy',
    					'04d': 'wi-cloudy-windy',
    					'09d': 'wi-showers',
    					'10d': 'wi-rain',
    					'11d': 'wi-thunderstorm',
    					'13d': 'wi-snow',
    					'50d': 'wi-fog',
    					'01n': 'wi-night',
    					'02n': 'wi-night-cloudy',
    					'03n': 'wi-night-cloudy',
    					'04n': 'wi-night-cloudy',
    					'09n': 'wi-night-showers',
    					'10n': 'wi-night-rain',
    					'11n': 'wi-night-thunderstorm',
    					'13n': 'wi-night-snow',
    					'50n': 'wi-night-alt-cloudy-windy'
				}

If it helps you I’m happy !

@vulcain I can’t seem to find the icon folder… could it be in another location?

PhilReis

I try this icons: https://www.amcharts.com/free-animated-svg-weather-icons/

But at the moment only the 3 icons on the picture works.

These are awesome, can you walk me through how you did it?

PhilReis

@SoleLo in the next few days i will implement the other icon. Then I’ll tell you how I did it.

SoleLo

@philreis sounds great. Thanks!

PhilReis

I have add the other icons. But not all are properly positioned yet.
And a there is no icon for fog.
In the next few weeks I will position the icon correctly.
This solution is maybe not the best but it works!

Picture:

For this icons you need this icon package:
https://www.amcharts.com/free-animated-svg-weather-icons/

Copy the icon from the folder “animated” to the folder “MagicMirror/css/icons”

Then you have to add this code to your “custom.css” file.

This looks great so far. I’ll give it a try

cowboysdude

Would be nice to find a free set of animated icons but anything worth having they are charging for sooooooooooooo…

SoleLo

@philreis ok got them changed, how did you get rid of the sun rise and sun rise time, along with wind speed, I tried a few custom.css codes but none seem to work

PhilReis

@solelo here is my currentweather config:

                {
                        "module": "currentweather",
                        "position": "top_right",
                        "config": {
                                "onlyTemp": "true",
                                "location": "Berlin",
                                "locationID": "1234567890",
                                "appid": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
                                }
                },

You have to add only “onlyTemp”: “true” to your config.js
