How about this fork of the original compliments module?
https://github.com/yawnsde/MMM-Compliments

It allows one to create a remote file that contains the things that one would like to have displayed on the screen and has a feature to not use randomization. There are customization’s for morning sayings, day sayings , and evening sayings.

Then in the custom.css file find a way to add an entry to specify the chalkboard fonts and thier size/position.

Others more skilled in css customization’s on the forum should be able to help.

I started with a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless. It was possible to run MagicMirror and the modules on the device , but I found that it was a bit under powered. It was very inexpensive though from Adafruit. I switched to a Raspberry Pi 3 Plus and it works well. Class 10 MicroUSB cards are what you want (manufacturer is less relevant) to run and no less than 16 Gig so that you have room to add more modules as you develop your Magic Mirror.

Another thing is that even though the Micro SD cards can take a few abrupt power offs they will need to be shut down gracefully using either a sudo shutdown -now or using the GUI to perform a shutdown.

People have had thier Micro SD cards fail after too many presses of the power button or removing power from the Raspberry Pi abruptly.

Fingers crossed I have not experienced this to date.

Start by posting your currently installed modules.
Like this

1. MMM-Calendar
   etc.

The copy your config.js entries (MagicMirror/config) in thier entirety using the code option </> above.

Then post your custom.css file (MagicMirror/css) using the code option </>

This will give the coders and people willing to assist a headstart .

This project seems perfect for some of the pro’s on this forum.

@Module-Developers

There is a subdirectory named css below the main MagicMirror directory. Within that subdirectory one should find a file named custom.css. Open this file with the built in text editor by right clicking upon the file and choosing Text Editor.

Then copy the code above by highlighting it and then right clicking and choosing copy or highlighting it and pressing CTRL-C .
Then create a line within the custom.css by clicking below the body statements and then Right Click and Choose Paste or press CTRL-V

Make sure that this code is NOT within the brackets that specify body, but instead below those entries.

Now that I have scrapped my Pi Zero W and have done a fresh install of “Buster” and MM on my Pi 3 B Plus everything is playing together nicely!

@Mykle1 Yup. I just do a PM2 restart 0. :)

Did you run npm install in the MMM-NOAA3 directory? YES

Tried deleting and recloning the module from guthub? YES!

Still not working at this point

Disabling your other modules? YES! Disabled every other module and restarted Magic Mirror.
Now the MMM-NOAA3 module is displayed !
So there appears to be a conflict with another module.

Next steps are to enable each module one by one and restart after doing so with each one.

I wonder which one it is?

@Mykle1
Did you run npm install in the MMM-NOAA3 directory? Yes - appeared to install correctly.

Tried deleting and recloning the module from guthub? No. Next on the list of things to do.

Disabling your other modules? Thats another great suggestion. Gotta try that after a reclone and reinstall.

Here is what I get

@geo Dont delete the full Magic Mirror image and start over!
Thats a waste of time.
Instead
change directories to the Magic Mirror directory like this

cd MagicMirror (press enter)
then run this command
npm run config:check (press enter)

This will run a build in linter (which is a fancy way of saying a program that checks the entries in a file to determine if there are errors)

Then view the results and the errors presented. Typicallly there is one symbol missing right above where the errors are reported. Pay attention to the line numbers that are listed where the errors start and look one or two lines up from that line number and see if you can perceive an issue.
