Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

[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.

@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;
}

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

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.
