Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 show me a couple entries from you custom.css now

remember to use the code block

and the icons ARE in the css/icons folder, correct?
mine are in css/icons/static , as I unzipped the zip file from your link into the css/icons folder

.weather .wi-day-sunny {
content: url("/css/icons/static/day.svg");
}

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

[Manu85]

@sdetweil dans mon custom css j’ai fait ces entrées par exemple (je ne sais pas si c’est ce que vous voulez…):

/*
 * SONDE DHT 22 temperature interieur
*/
#dht_temp {
  font-size: 40px;

/*
 * TEMPERATURE CPU
*/
}
#pi_temp {
  font-size: 30px;
}

/*
 * CALENDRIER ICONES AGENDA
*/
.fa.fa-male {
  color: #2B60DE; /* Dodger Blue */
}
.fa.fa-birthday-cake {
  color: #ff0000; /* Red */
}
 
.fa.fa-trash-o {
  color: #00FF00; /* Green */
}

.fa.fa-calendar {
  color: #F660AB; /* Hot Pink */

@Manu85 said in Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast:

> content: url(“/css/icons/rainy-6.svg”);

note that the quotes are leaning, not straight up and down

change like this

content: url("/css/icons/rainy-6.svg");

[Manu85]

@sdetweil do they have to be like that? because that’s how they were before I modified them with </>
}

.currentweather .wi-day-sunny {
content: url(“/css/icons/day.svg”);
}

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

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

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 they ALL must be straight up and down…

I was warning you that the copy you did originally had the wrong quote marks

they ALL MUST BE ONLY

"

[Manu85]

@sdetweil like that ?

.currentweather .wi-night-clear {
content: url("/css/icons/night.svg");
}

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes

[Manu85]

@sdetweil excuse me, I’ll do it right away

[Manu85]

@sdetweil by putting them straight up and down my weather has the original icons

[Manu85]

@sdetweil sorry for my mistakes

[Manu85]

Your precious help allowed me to succeed in having the icons on the mirror :-), I added a few lines in the custom to position each icon, for example:
.weather .wi-day-sunny {
content: url(“/css/icons/day.svg”);
padding-left: 60px;
padding-top: 7px;
height: 50px;
}
the last thing to do is how to manage the current day icon (position and size) because on the original file there was a part:.currentweather .weathericon { and another part:.weatherforecast .weathericon {
Following your help I named everything: .weather .weathericon { so that it works and I think that now it no longer makes a difference between current and forecast and I cannot manage the icon of the current day. Do you have any ideas on how to handle this?
Thank you for your valuable help

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes the current/forecast are not unique modules now…but mm provides a way to differentiate between two of the same module

you can add arbitrary names that are used in the class of the module in the html tree, and then use that class in your custom.css

I wish I had thought of the sooner

in the config.js for one of the weather modules, showing forecast for instance, after the module name line add

    module:"weather",
    classes:"forecast",
...
...

then in the custom.css, for the icons used in forecast change the primary selector
from

.weather

to

.forecast

if I had thought of this first, we would have just added the two classes lines in config.js

one for currentweather and one for weatherforecast, each on the appropriate weather module instance

[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;
}

[sdetweil]

@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)

[Manu85]

@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
