Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

[PhilReis]

@tagriel i have used svg Icons because it was easier for me.
I can try to make a solution with the CSS Icons which you have linked here.

@philreis I’m wondering because my raspberry heat goes way up after displaying the new weather icons. I thought it might be bc of the svg files, does it happen to you? (are you using a raspberry?). I also wanted to share something with you, if I don’t have any modules, lets say, on my top_left screen, the current weather module only displays the degree without any icons, and if I add any other module to the top-left screen, then I can see the icons, its pretty strange :( do you happen to know what might be happening? I’ve been reading the code almost line by line trying to find if there is a table or div anywhere missing but I can’t seem to find anything.

@tagriel i will test it.

Thanks man! I’ve also got a question for you, it’s breaking my head, I’ve given a lot of days of debugging and searching what might be happening but I don’t find an answer.

If I have my currentweather module on top_left alone, there’s no weather icon

BUT if I put any other module on top_left below my current weather module, I can see the icon :'(

I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong, do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I just found the issue. Just check there’s height and width on your custom.css

.currentweather .weathericon {
position: absolute;
z-index: 0;
height: 200px;
width: 400px
right: 180px;
margin-top: -65px;
margin-left: 30px;
}

@PhilReis said in Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast:

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.
