Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

Smotx

@philreis Thanks for code !

PhilReis

@mmille40 you must copy the icons in the CSS folder (/css/icons/) and add the code to your custom.css only.
But it works only with the standard weatherforecast module.

Here is my current config for the custom icon.

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

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

.currentweather .wi-day-sunny {

}

.currentweather .wi-day-cloudy {
content: url("/css/icons/cloudy-day-1.svg");
}

.currentweather .wi-rain {
content: url("/css/icons/rainy-6.svg");
}

content: url("/css/icons/night.svg");
}

padding-right: 15px;
padding-top: 10px;
}

}

@smotx you’re welcome, no problem

mmille40

@philreis I’ll try that out, I’m unsure what you mean by “you must copy the icons in the CSS folder”. Thank you for your response!

Tagriel

@philreis wow man it’s beautiful!!! I have a question for you, I’ve been wondering if instead of having an svg it could be done via js and css, like this project here:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/JmQqOw

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.

Tagriel

@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.

PhilReis

@tagriel i will test it.

Tagriel

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
0_1541452997075_Captura de pantalla 2018-11-05 a las 22.20.25.png

BUT if I put any other module on top_left below my current weather module, I can see the icon :'(
0_1541453036867_Captura de pantalla 2018-11-05 a las 22.19.38.png

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

Thanks in advance!

Tagriel

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;
}

homerj99

looks great, thanks so much

@vulcain

best solution for my Icons - good job!

Fa

@vulcain can you copy/paste your custom.css in full please , it would help me
thanks

My CPU goes through the roof when I tried these animated icons last night. Anyone else seeing high CPU usage with them ?

@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.

As I said not completely finished.

Hello anyone, if i have a icon packs named sun.mov, rain.mov, etc, can i put the pack in /css/icons and use the same code but changing the url (and maybe padding)?
from content: url("/css/icons/day.svg"), to content: url("/css/icons/sun.mov"); or i need something else?
i don’t know how coding :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

I added the ability to use animated icons in my weather module, and I, too, notice very high CPU usage, even though the animation code is purported to not be demanding of resources. I’m going to guess that SVG / Canvas animation on Electron running or on a Raspberry Pi (or both!) is not optimised to be as efficient as it could be.

If I have many icons animated at the same time and if I leave it running for days, eventually MM will freeze. CPU temp and usage goes up significantly until that happens.

@aecandroid - Please check out this guide on how to use the markdown features of the forum. Then go back and properly block out your config.js file. That will make debugging your code much easier.

@bhepler @Mykle1 My apologies. It was late last night and when I posted the code I saw it had created a block and I didn’t look at it closely. I have properly blocked out my config.js file below. Your help is greatly appreciated.

@j-e-f-f I also tried out your module for the weather. Looks neat! I also noticed that any animated image in any MM module spikes the CPU. I tried my best at looking at the Electron github project to see if there were any open or closed issues on it. I did not find much. I even tried upgrading my Electron to the latest stable version and that did not help much either.
