Getting to grips with the styling of CalendarExt2

Julian

@sean,

Loving the new build - I’m a newbie to MM, and am trying to use it to build an electronic wall calendar - similar to a DAKboard, but with a bit more customisation.

Two quick questions - (i) I can’t get the class customisation by event (to colour them by calendar for instance) to work for me - not sure where it’s going wrong, as the instructions look straightforward - I’ve defined the class for each calendar in the config.js - classname:“Family”, and then set the colour in the custom.css - .CX2 .Family {
color:#FFA500;

(ii) how do I make the background of the month calendar transparent to see any image behind it (as per the bottom screen shot above)?

Thanks

.CX2 .Family is not working? try this in your css/custom.css

.CX2 .event.Family {
  color:#FFA500
}

If your event is fullday event, it could be overriden. Use this also.

.CX2 .event.Family.fullday {
  background-color:#FFA500;
  color:#000;
}

Or…
Possible common pitfalls:

Mistypo in your config.js about className
common CSS mistypos (forgotten closing brace, missed semicolon, …)

By default, there is gradiently transparent background in each slot cell. If you don’t want it;

.CX2 .slot > .slotContent {
  background-image:none;
}

Thanks for the quick response. Transparent background now sorted - the calendar works really well with your GooglePhotos module as the background !

Also finally sorted the other problem out - I hadn’t realised it was case-sensitive: classname doens’t work - but className does !

Thanks for all your help - this is an awesome module…
