      My Apologies for the issues you are having, but, I am looking over the code to make these fixes and I am not seeing any of the problems you are describing…

      Any way you could show me the specific places these errors are occurring?

      I ran it through an error checker and it’s not finding any errors…

      Th example config on your git page is missing a trailing ‘}’ This is why people have had issues adding to their config.js

          Another apology…

          When I was working with this module I had the font set to xlarge or large in the MMM-NewsFeedTicker.js file.

          It makes it easier for these old eyes to see changes,

          So, in the following section of the js file…

           var headline = document.createElement("span");
                          headline.setAttribute("style", "padding-bottom:25px");
                          headline.className = "bold xlarge bright";
                          headline.innerHTML = "<font color= #ffaa00>" + moment(new Date(this.newsItems[this.activeItem].pubdate)).fromNow() + ": &nbsp;" + "</font>" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title + "&nbsp; || &nbsp;" + this.newsItems[this.activeItem].description;
                          tickerBody.appendChild(headline);
          

          Change the ‘xlarge’ to small

                      This has resolved the issue I had. I tried small and it was a little too small so I set that value to medium and it’s perfect for me. Thank you for pointing this out and providing the solution! Now this will stream my news.

                        Add this to custom.css, Make the changes you want in it…

                        .MMM-NewsFeedTicker {
                            height: 100px;
                            background-color: maroon;
                            opacity: 1.0;
                        }
                        
                        .MMM-NewsFeedTicker .headline {
                            padding-top: 15px;
                            font-size: 100%;
                        }
                        
                        .MMM-NewsFeedTicker .image {
                          height: 100px;
                          background-color: #FFF;
                        }
                        

                        Let me know if you have any problems with this.

                        I am glad that you like it! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

                        Concerning adjusting the opacity of the colored bar, how to I set it to 50%? I tried 0.5 and it didn’t seem to make any difference. Thanks again!

                          @Mykle1 I have a Synology NAS running Docker…I really need to learn how to install this all in a docker package and edit it and run it from the Server…

                          I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. I have no experience with, or knowledge of, that. Perhaps someone else can help you. Good luck, my friend. :-)

                            Well, you might think about changing the color or having no color.

                            I just worked with it going all the way down to 0.1 and this is the result:

                            0_1540513439867_Screenshot (156).png

                            this is without a background color…

                            0_1540513583820_Screenshot (157).png

                            just change background-color: maroon; to background: none;
