1. Slightly narrow event’s width is intentional to avoid margin of error on calculation. It is hardcoded. But if you want to modify it by yourself,

eventDom.style.width = width - 15 + "px"

Change 15 to what you want.

Can I also shrink the gap between events vertically somehow?

Tell me more exact details? Even a picture will help.

The default method of displaying time on agenda views(current and upcoming) is defined as relative form. So, you can use just useEventTimeRelative: false, to display event time absolute format.
But what you want is just removing time of events from specific calendars or specific views, you can control it with CSS.
For example, when you want to hide time of all events from Chores calendar on current view, try this.

...
calendars : [
  {
    name: "Chores",
    scanInterval: 1000*60*240,
    url: "CAL URL",
    className: "CHORES_CAL"
  },
...

Then, add this code to your css/custom.css

.CX2 .current .CHORES_CAL .eventTime {
  display:none;
}

This means hide eventTime of CHORES_CAL of current view. Of course you can specify your target in other ways.
And you might need some additional CSS adjustment to beautify the empty area. Try it yourself.

@Sean - This don’t seem to work. Did I break my code? (line numbers added to show result from error check) - MM won’t start with code enabled - “Please create file”

65: transform: (event) => {  
66:	if (event.title.search("Recycle") > -1) {
67:		event.icon = "mdi:recycle",
68:	},
69:	return event
70: },  

Results in:

Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Line 65 col 46 'arrow function syntax (=>)' is only available in ES6 (use 'esversion: 6').
Line 68 col 33 Unexpected '}'.

Thanks!

“mdi:recycle”,

Remove the trailing comma

[scuppasteve]

@Sean That worked perfectly . How would you go about making the slot event background not be a black gradient? I just want the whole thing to be transparent.

[cskenney]

@Sean Similar to the Transform method used to identify a keyword in a title and change the icon (birthday is the example) is there a way to do the same thing (identify a key word) and change the color and background-color for that specific item?

My example would be if the word “Softball” is found in the title of a calendar entry it would transform the icon to a softball icon (already have this figured out). I also want to change the background-color and possibly the (font) color.

@sdetweil - It gets worse.

68: }, < ------- remove THAT trailing comma

Line 65 col 46 ‘arrow function syntax (=>)’ is only available in ES6 (use ‘esversion: 6’).

need node V6, which we should be LONG past.
do a node -v

[cskenney]

@sdetweil @BKeyport I had the same issue with the arrow function. I did node -v and my system is v10.15.2. I was able to work around the issue by using the older notation like shown below.

FYI - I just revised your code so you can copy and try it.

65:  transform: function(event)  {  
66:	if (event.title.search("Recycle") > -1) {
67:	event.icon = "mdi:recycle";
68: 	}
69: 	return event;
70: },

EDIT - line 68 revised to fix an error

[BKeyport]

@cskenney Your code almost got it. - had to remove the comma on line 68 there, but it now checks out…

Just don’t seem to do anything yet. Tweaking some more.

Actually, it’s doing exactly what it’s designed to do. It shows the icon for the event. I didn’t expect it to leave the title in place too. That’ll do perfect.

I’m glad it worked for you. I edited the code above to remove the comma in case someone else tries to use it. I originally missed it when I edited your code.

Sorry for the late reply. At weekends, I rarely am in front of computer.
You can define class in your CSS. then assign it into your transfrom code.

transform: (event) => {  
  if (event.title.search("Recycle") > -1) {
    event.icon = "mdi:recycle"
    event.className = "CLASS_RECYCLE" // in your css/custom.css, define color and bgcolor for this class
  }
  return event
},

I figured that out about an hour ago and was coming back to the forums to revise my post. Thanks for confirming what I did works!

You can adjust the background color in the CSS file.

Since you already defined the eventName: “CHORES_CAL” you can use it in CSS.

syntax:

background-color: rgba(red, green, blue, alpha);

alpha: 0~1 (0:transparent, 1:opaque)

Try this in your CSS file.

.CX2 .event.CHORES_CAL {
	background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);
	}

I believe that will make the background transparent for all the events in that eventName class.

What I mean with gap between events is this:

@jani-karna

Hmmm… in Original CSS, there was no huge gap. It would be only 2px. I think you probably have modified CSS by yourself, but I don’t know what you changed. Sorry, can’t help you.

Thats fine, I’ll figure it out.

In the upcoming calendar, I have location or additional information in the events and their font is too big. Can I somehow make it smaller? Here’s a pic, the last row being the additional information:

Each event has eventSub (and its sub-elements eventLocation and eventDescription). By default, agenda(upcoming and current) views would reveal eventSub, so, you can use that CSS selector to specify.
