      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

        @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

            @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;
            }

              @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 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

                      it’s complicated, I can’t have a selection like you, I selected the icon at the top with the cloud and the moon I have lines that have changed on the table on the right but I don’t have another window that opens

                        @Manu85 i’ve never done this over vnc…

                        the right panel is just hidden on your vnc screen. you might be able to scroll right

                        if you are in the same house as MM, you dont need to use vnc to view the page

                        as long as your config.js says

                        address:"0.0.0.0",
                        ipWhiltelist:[],
                        

                        then any machine on the same network can attach, so you can do this from your windows machine too… and do the debug from there as well
